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!
