Remember the job I had a million interviews for?

[jnoellee]

And then they went with someone else?

Well, apparently they didn't work out because I was just contacted by the company's senior director telling me that they have an opening with their company in a few weeks and was wondering if I'd be able to discuss the position with them.

Omg.

I don't know what to think and am all over the place.

[katfco]

That's great!

[laurack]

yay! I knew they were fools to have gone with that other idiot over you! (I know s/he may not be an idiot but .. I'm on your side here )

[jnoellee]

I'm just nervous, like what if this person quit because they're awful to work for??

[jnoellee]

In order for me to take it, H would probably need to cut back his hours at work significantly, or maybe even leave all together.

[jnoellee]

Unless I found childcare for the kids 3 days a week, which I wouldn't even know where to start. I would need it to be in home, and someone who can handle 4 young children, 2 that have special needs. (Jane being a lot more significant than Rose).

Gahh

So exciting! Good things happen To good people!

[jg183]

congrats! Definitely talk to them and see if you can negotiate it to not be full time if that helps your childcare situation. Is your h willing to leave his job?

[TrudyCampbell]

That's exciting!!!

[bean47]

Very exciting! I hope it works out.

[fryjack2]

Yay!!

As far as childcare coverage goes, is there a college local to you? College students majoring in special ed or nursing sometimes look for jobs that can give them experience in those fields. Their schedules are a bit flexible. Also see if you can post on a hospital site, or ask someone you know who works at one to post on their board. I know a lot of young nurses who work on their days off to pay off student loans and middle aged nurses who work other jobs to pay their children's college tuition.

Good luck!

My assumption would be that the person was counter offered by where they work, and ended up staying.

I hope this works out for you!!
