so ok, last week, around the 11th or 12th, a friend of jackson's (her former supervisor) let me know about a position open at a local treatment facility... i dragged my feet and finally on sunday i checked their website... nothing listed about the position, which was a way of the universe (or was it the little kid inside) saying continue enjoying the time away from the madness... i told jackson and she called her former supervisor who forwarded the email... so the place is looking for a corporate compliance director... these wort of high level management positions are not posted on websites but rather the search is done through contacts... yeah, so i opened email this morning and hours later, finally found the email and updated my resume and cover letter and sent it out... an hour later i have a response from the president of the place asking what time next monday or tuesday would be good for me... so i pick tuesday at 10:30am and i suddenly am realizing i must rather abruptly get into professional executive mode... haircut, shave, suit, tie, shoes... suit?... yes, at this level i ought to go to the interview in max corporate clothes... my shoes are old... and i have no suits, just some jackets and dress pants... sheesh...
so i wined and complainted and pouted at jackson before she left for work and naturally she was not coddling me at all... boooo... i don't wanna grow up... she's texting me now with encouragement and sweetness though...
sigh... hey, i might not get the job, after all :)

good luck
j
i can totally see you as a corporate compliance director/honcho, so go get that suit and tie, cut that hair and go get them. much luck for tuesday.
Thank you thank you :)
oh great, now i have to actually want to get the job? lol... ok, i'll give it a good shot and see what happens... if there are candidates with completed graduate degrees i might not be chosen but that's life, i have the experience and the corporate academic and medical worlds are so focused on paper credentials...
even with the graduate degrees, it is an area of treatment services that would be very new to me and there would be a steep learning curve and a whole lot of responsibility so i must motivate myself as ready to dive in to a career position again and give myself 24/7 to the company...
your encouragement and positivity helps a whole lot... you are very much appreciated :)
very much :)
