I wasn't going to post about this until after Friday, but I have some free time today, so I will blab away. Last Friday, I got a call from IGT wanting me to come in for an interview. It caught me a little off guard since it was Friday after 5pm and I was on the treadmill at the time, so my mind wasn't 100% there when the guy was explaining the job and responsibilities.
Nevertheless, IGT is a whopping 5 min drive from my house. They have an onsite daycare, cafeteria, and gym. They also are well known to be a great place to work. On top of that, the guy gave me the impression that they really needed bilingual candidates. I figure that since I have that and a college degree to offer, I could possibly come in at the upper end of the pay range, making about $40k/yr. Granted, thats not a lot, but for someone that hasn't had a "real" job in 8 years, thats pretty darn good. I'm only pointing out the good stuff but I will be on the lookout for the bad stuff at the interview. You can usually get a good feel for the job once you see the environment and meet the supervisors/coworkers.
On the flip side, I'm a little worried that I could possibly not be able to handle it all. Right now I am able to make healthy (and good) meals for the family. I don't usually use prepackaged or canned foods and try to make everything from scratch. I hope working FT doesnt turn me into one of those parents that "pick up" dinner on the way home. I still want to make sure that the kids get decent meals and not sodium filled prepackaged crap.
I think that after being home for so long, I'm definately ready for a change of pace. But I do understand that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
*****UPDATE - I got another call from the county today. They want me to come in for an interview next week. This job actually pays a little more, and thats only the bottom of the pay scale, plus the benefits are pretty good to say the least. Its at the sheriffs dept though, so it could be good or bad. Hopefully one of these jobs will want me!!!!
