People always say that once you’ve been offered a job, and you’ve accepted it, a half a dozen more will be laid at your feet. Since being offered the job at USC(University of South Carolina) on Friday, I have been offered two different DSS(Department of Social Services) positions.
One was a Human Services Specialist in the food stamps department and the other was also a Human Services Specialist working in the Adult Protective Services department. The one in the food stamps department only offered $20,248 a year. I probably only would have taken that one if there were no other offers at the time. The one in the ADS department was offering $28,000, a fairly nice sum of cash, but I don’t know how much I would have enjoyed old people with dementia trying to fight me. I am all about helping people, but I don’t know how long I would have been able to do that.
USC hasn’t gotten my background check back in yet. That should be coming in in the next fews days. Once they get it, they will give me a definite start date. I’ll be curious to hear whether or not I got the Blue Cross Blue Shields job. I don’t really want it, I just want to find out what the salary is for the position. They didn’t tell me in the interview and it wasn’t listed on their site either.
Well, I better get back to my cross stitching. I want to have this done before I start working. I’ll try thinking of another interesting China story.
They always say that looking for a job is like looking for a girlfriend. You look, and look, and look with no success. Until one day, someone takes pity on you and gives you a chance…
Then all the sudden all the people who looked down on you start to call back.
Funtimes.

Terence is right about that. You probably wont be totally relaxed until you here the Blue Cross was going to offer you a pittance, right? haha.

@Terence – Yeah, except, I think for me a better simile would be – Looking for a job is like looking for a boyfriend – being a girl and all. Heh.
@Erick g – I actually heard back from Blue Cross. They weren’t offering me the job perse but they were doing the standard reference checks and what not. I told them that I had already been offered a job. Before I could say that though, she did mention that the job would pay between 28,000 and 30,000. I was a bit disappointed. I thought that position was going to offer more than that. Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter. I have a job – at least I think I do.
