An AMAZING life change!

As some of you know, I dont graduate from college for another three months with a degree in Social Work (yup surprisingly they have a degree for it)...

I intern with Tacoma Goodwill, and running out of internship hours, but ironically a position opened up last week. I worked on my letter of intent till today and turned it in around 1 pm...

At 2 pm, I got three phone calls from: my potential supervisor, my current internship supervisor, and the director of workforce development... It took them LESS than an hour decide that this position will not be filled by a better candidate if it was not me.

I got the job, a career and a path WELL before graduation. It is an amazing opportunity, and I have an actual title than just a student now... Workforce Navigator!

Drinks for me to celebrate tonight!

Hey Lew

What do you do? Do you have a degree as well? Or just social services?
