Wow what a week!! Thanks you so much to my lovelies for all the congrats and well wishes on my job!
Its been so fantastic, the students are amazing, they're so sweet (and temper mental LOL)It was an absolutely amazing week HOWEVER...*dun dun dun*
I applied at Community Living like 4 months ago, (they're a group home based organization for adults with severe to mild intellectual disabilities that also does respite and community work) and every monday for these four months I've called the hiring boss man to see if there was any work, 2 DAYS... people 2!! after I got the job at H'art they call and offer me not one, but 2 interviews, one for a group home worker, and one for one on one work with a man who has autism.
Now we look at the pro's and con's
Hart Pros:
