Life's Journey

I would have had the job, but they did their budget for the next year and realized they did not have enough money to hire me...

I knew Heavenly Father would put me in the exactly where I needed to be, I just had to be patient. I was getting a bit concerned because I had rolled up my quarters and my dimes (my emergency fund) and Joe rolled up a bunch of his quarters (funds earned from the washing machines and dryers at the apartments we used to be part owners with grandma and Paul, Joe's dad) to pay bills.

I had interviewed for several other job openings within Intermountain Health Care (IHC) when I noticed another opening for patient service rep. I sent my application, along with my updated resume. I had a telephone interview (they were narrowing down 305 candidates I discovered after the fact). They called me back to set up an interview the next day.

Johanna, my sister-in-law, had helped me create my updated resume and wanted details on how things were progressing. I called to give her the new information and she knew one of my interviewers from her Human Resources position with Primary Children's Hospital. She did send him an email after I mentioned her name at my interview. Hey, why not name drop.....

They had narrowed down the telephone interviews to two people. The other candidate changed her mind (she already worked within IHC) about the position. I had a message on my cell phone, that I missed because I had left it out in the car . . . indicating that they wanted to further discuss the position with me and were offering me the job! ! !

I am happy to announce that I work for Cottonwood Family Practice. There are 3 Drs. a P.A. and on Fridays and Mental Health Practitioner. I LOVE MY NEW JOB.

What I wanted for a job:

To work in healthcare
To work front desk
To work directly with the patients
To work in a "small physican's office"
To work close to home (it's about 3 miles from the house)
To have insurance benefits for me and Joe.
To make more than minimum wage. I was to start at $10.62 and was given a raise before I even started.

Heavenly Father was and is the crucial instrument in this girls band. Praise to Him!

Thanks for the prayers of my family and friends. Love to you all. Janice
