Another Job Interview
The job hunting is starting to pick up.  I (Britney) finally got a call back from a guy at Region 8 Mental Health who wanted me to come in for an interview last Friday morning.  I did, and it went well.  Within about 2 hours, I got a call back from someone in the mental health center who wanted me to come in Tuesday afternoon for a 2nd interview.  This time, I met with the clinical director and clinical coordinator of the day treatment program.  I think this one went pretty well, too.  They told me a little more detail about the job, and one gave me a tour and showed me the classroom that they are considering me for.  The position is a behavioral specialist, which is a social worker that works with young children, ages 3-5, who haven't started preschool yet.  They all have a mental health diagnosis, like ADHD or adjustment disorder, and I would be providing clinical services to help them transition into kindergarten.  It' s kind of like teaching, in that I would have lesson plans, but I would be using clinical intervention, i.e. anger management, social skills building, reinforcment, etc. as well.  Since I want to be a school social worker eventually, this would be excellent experience.  I hope to hear something from them soon.  My supervisor at URC has already received a call from them, since he is one of my references.  I think they are pretty anxious to fill the position.  Please keep me in your prayers as I continue my search for a job.  By the way, I received word last week that I passed my comprehensive exams at UT!  Graduation is only one month from today!
