Reflections on Interview #1
One thing I pride myself on is the ability to rock interviews. I can usually land interviews quickly, however they don't always lead to being hired. So, even though I've been unemployed for 2 weeks, it doesn't surprise me that I've already gone on one interview based on the 3 positions that I've applied to thus far. Each position is closely related to working with youth without being directly in the classroom. I really need the break from teaching!
I am greatly impressed by the organization that I interviewed with yesterday. This particular organization is all about fostering young girls' self-esteem. The interviewee seemed really down to Earth and passionate about what she does and the hours work with my family's schedule. However, the salary range offered for the position is way below the poverty line. The only way it would work is if I found a part time job in addition to working for this organization full-time. As the popular meme goes "ain't nobody got time for that"!
I will definitely keep them in my radar if a higher position within the company opens up. It's plain to me that this position isn't quite 'it'.

I'm looking for something like that for retirement, although not full time. The problem is that jobs that we would consider worthwhile and fulfilling never seem to pay much. Helping and nurturing people doesn't seem to be a priority in our culture. Don't get me started!
It's so true! How do organizations expect to keep people in the business of helping others?!
