Job possibilities
Ok so I am major stressed right now with this job stuff! I am going to tell the whole story so get ready!
When I started at this job almost 2 and a half years ago as a student I was making 7.45 an hour. This was very good since I was coming from a state job that didn't even pay be 6.00 an hour. Not even a year later the student contract was updated and I was then making 8.45 an hour, again I was so happy with this! Being a student, we can not earn raises, we make whatever is in the contract and if the people who write the contract want to raise the pay then we get a raise. So I started making 8.45 an hour in January of 2007, therefore I have been at the same rate up until this point. Well at the start of the summer I had told my boss that I was moving out and would have to get another job b/c I need ot work full time for the fall, as I would be going to school part time so I could work full time. Since I am only a student worker here, I can not work full time only part time during the school months. My boss then advised me that she would help me get on full time here ( at my current job) if I agreed to find a way to go to school full time. So I was then able (by God's grace I know it) to schedule 2 internet classes and two night classes in Denham therefore still being a full time student at Selu and also not even having to go to selu all semester! I then filled out an application for a Engineering Aide I which starts off making 11.89 an hour with the potential to go up to 16.46 an hour. And from there I can move up to an Aide II then Aide III with of coarse the potential to make even more an hour. I brought my application down to Human Resources and they said since I do not have any drafting classes that I did not qualify for this position. I was really upset that was the only reason I did not qualify. Well the lady who worked there looked up my information on the computer and was able to see how many hours I have been working with the city and told me that I am very close to being at the point where not having the drafting class won't matter! So she advised me to come back with my application at the end of the summer and I will have enough hours with the city to get the job without having the drafting classes. Naturally I was estatic about this! So time goes by and this week I am starting to think about bringing my application back dowtown and I am getting stressed about what the lady said. My thing is anyone can tell you anything, and now I am thinking, "What if she didn't know what she was talking about?" So Tuesday of this week the student contract changed and my rate of pay will go up from 8.45 to whatever they decide (I still do not know). So I have now been advised to put in for a Clerical Specialist which starts at 9.32 and can go up to 12.90 with the potential to be raised into a Senior Specialist which starts at 10.27 and goes up to 14.22. I really hope and pray this all works out before school starts because as I stated earlier I can not work full time when school start since I am in a student position, therefore my bills may not get paid. The only reason I moved out in the first place was because my boss told me I would be able to get hired on full time. I guess you can see why I am stressed because school starts on the 20th of August and most of you know how long it takes to be put into a new position with all the paperwork and stuff. Please pray that God's will is done and that I will have the strength to give it to God and let Him decide what is best for me. Thank you for reading this if you did in fact read this!!!
