Potential Job prospect
« on: November 09, 2008, 10:56:30 PM »
So here I am again, coming back to the altar as I look for wisdom of what the next course of action is after graduating (besides getting married to the most beautiful Redemption player of course  ;D). And a possible door might be opening. I had an interview on Friday with the Research Director for Batelle for Kids, a renown education research center that apparently has been in my backyard here in Columbus without me knowing about it. They are looking for a replacement data assistant that was originally held by a full-time person. If accepted, I would be working 40 hours a week plus finishing my Masters. But the cool thing is it could be a great start of something much better. To put it short they do research with students and teachers and value-added assessments for grades K-8. And they are trying to venture into the high school arena with a very cool idea, ACT 22 by 12, in which the goal is to have EVERY student be able to score at least a 22 by grade 12 and attend college by realigning the state education standards with the test, similar to what we do with the AP test. So all in all it would be a great opportunity, but I don't want the two of us to be where God does not want us to be. So I guess I am asking for peace and a calm spirit (as I often do), wisdom to make the right choices, a softness of heart of my potential director to look past my inadequacies being fresh out of school if it is His Will for me to continue in this route, or to make clear the door that I am to follow. Thanks to you all for your prayers and encouragement!

This sounds like an interesting opportunity, and one that you would be very interested in.  I prayed for God to give you clear direction, one way or the other :)

Update: so I got an email from the director saying she wants to meet with me again, hopefully not for a do-over interview  ;D. But she hasn't given me any more detail and I've never had a 2nd interview before...so thank you all for your thoughts and I'll keep you all updated!

2nd interview = great! especially when it was basically 3 questions: what salary did I require, when could I start, and did I want the job !  ;D

Funny story on how it took me 15 miles walking to get there, which I will elaborate later. But for now, this is where God has placed me. Finally a job that actually directly corresponds with my field! Thank you for your prayers!

An unanswered question is infinitely better than an unquestioned answer.

Those three questions are three of my favorite besides would you like some rice krispee treats and milk. :)  Sounds like a cool job.
I never want to grow up, hmmm maybe thats why I'm a youth pastor.
