I'm BAAAACKKK lol

I survived the interview. WHEW
I was interviewed by 2 women... one, the head of social services, and the other the head of Gemini Employee Leasing. I had SO stressed about what to wear... turned out my outfit was almost identical in style to the one woman... and very close in color to the other... so luckily I think I chose well there. LOL

They were very friendly, nice to talk with and seemed to accept my answers to their questions well. One major part of the job is to handle the vouchers for the volunteer drivers and calculate payment for them, while preparing and filing confidential personal records. It's less about dealing with individuals and more about dealing with their private information than I had expected. They said they were pleased that I have so much experience in dealing with confidential information in my previous jobs.

There'd be a lot of typing, filing, scanning and recording which shouldn't be too difficult. The only thing they mentioned that would be new to me is typing from a dictation machine. I would hope that my many years in online boards and chat would help me pick that up.

The job pays $.57 more an hr than I was initially told, and runs 28 hrs a week for the next 2 months; then 20 hrs a week thereafter. Which sounds good to me! It's 9-2:30 Tues - Fri so 3 day weekends are the norm.

One of the questions was "What was a situation at work that forced you to make a difficult decision and how did you handle it?" I told them about when I worked on an ambulance service and the manager of the service was coming in to work drunk. (Figured that was about as tough as it gets) I told how I'd talked with him about it, went to his supervisor and when nothing was still done about it, had called all the members of the county EMS board. The next morning they congregated in his supervisors office and it was taken care of. They had to agree that was the only right solution since this man also went out on emergency calls... and it was left to the EMT working with him to decide whether you put the drunk in back with the patient or have him drive the ambulance! When I said that, they both shuddered. LOL

They are hoping to decide and notify me tomorrow. So my fingers are crossed!
