New Job

So I found a job!! It's an awesome one too. In hygiene it's really hard to find a full time job because dentists are cheap. They like to split the 40 hours between two hygienists so they don't have to pay for any benefits, so that means you have to search for two jobs if you want to get around 40 hours a week. I was not looking forward to that! My dream was to get into one office where I could make myself comfortable, instead of skipping around between two. I started job searching about a month before I graduated. I thought I would get a head start since I figured it would take me awhile to find one anyway. Then one day about a two weeks before graduation I saw a posting on KSL for a full time job in Roy. Bingo! So I emailed in my resume, and called to make sure they had received it. No one answered, so I left a message. Well a few days later I got a call that they had received it and wanted me to come in for an interview. SWEET!! My first interview!!! Let me back up for just a min.-this wasn't the first resume I had emailed/taken to an office. This was probably the tenth I would guess. And ALL of the other offices said that they were looking for someone with experience. UGH! It had been so frustrating! So finally someone was giving me a shot! I couldn't believe it! So I went in for my interview and it lasted about 45 min. Good interview I would say! By the end he was joking with me and I just had a good feeling about it. The only thing that worried me was when he was wrapping up the interview he asked me this "If I decide to go with someone who had more experience, would you mind if I kept your resume in case it doesn't work out?" Experience- I hate that word!!! So what else could I say except "of course"? He said he would give me a call the next week and let me know either way. So the long week passed, and the next week I got a phone call. They wanted to set up a second interview with me! YAY!! I was so excited!! So my second interview was the week after that on Monday. I was more nervous for this one than the first, because I was so much closer to getting it! He had narrowed it down to three of us. THREE! I was one of three. So in my second interview he just wanted to clarify some things. Then he said "My only hang up with you is lack of experience." So the next five minutes I tried to convince him that that wouldn't be a problem and that I knew I could work quickly and efficiently. I said my piece and that was that. It was all up to him now. As I left he said he would know by the end of the week, and would give me a call. So the next three days dragged on and on as I sat there waiting. Friday morning came and when Andy got up to go to work, I could fall back asleep like I usually do. I was too nervous! So I turned on the tv to distract myself, but after a few hours of dumb tv shows I couldn't take it anymore, I had to call him. I called and Kara, one of the front desk ladies, answered the phone. I asked her if Dr. Wade was available and she said he was with a patient. I told her who I was and wondered if he had made a decision about the job. She went back and checked with him, and came back to say that he had made a decision, and would call me in a bit. NOOO! More waiting! I was going to go crazy waiting. I jumped in the shower and got ready for the day trying to pass the time. Four hours later I finally got a call! He said sorry for the anticipation, and that he would like to offer me the job!! HALLELUJAH!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! The first place I interviewed and I got the job, even before I had my license! That's insane!! I was on cloud 9 the entire day. I couldn't wait to tell Andy! He was so proud of me. It was such a great feeling. I start on June 4th, so now I am just relaxing and enjoying my free time because soon I will be a working woman!
