A Science Geek Goes Job Hunting

I lost my job six months ago and it's been really tough. I've been job hunting very aggressively and have found some short term gigs but nothing full time and permanent. I've done a lot of different things to make money – sold plasma, participated in focus groups, substitute teaching, and participated in a drug trial. The drug trial involved the Analytical Method Development stage … or that's what they told me. Through it all, regardless of the job, I never felt any of it was beneath me. I was eager to work and I appreciated the opportunity. Well.. that approach has finally paid off. Yesterday I received an offer for a full time job in a warehouse working for the company where I had done deliveries for on a part time basis. They told me they liked my attitude and work ethic. I am so excited and so very, very thankful.
