Closed chapter : /

Hi all!


Just to round it all off: I've quit Starbucks.


Various reasons, but the main one was that they couldn't offer me a job at the ARP (no budget, however, it's very strange I met a new barista when I came by for a visit :/ ...weird).


Anyways...that's a closed chapter :)


I still love Starbucks.


Paul has had a hip replaced on July 18th and because of my remark "I wish I could see the operation!", I started thinking that maybe I should do something with that feeling (because most peoples' reaction was EWW!!!).


Browsing the internet I found out that I was able to apply at various hospitals to train for the position of operating assistant! Strangely enough: my mother was operating assistant, BUT she had been a nurse for quite a number of years, which made me think that one had to be a nurse in order to be able to become an operating assistant: WRONG!!! Maybe this was the case in the past?


It's a high level education (HBO), just under university. Three years combining school and work, but the first 6 months is full time school after which one has to pass various exams to be able to continue.


Sooo, I applied at two hospitals in the vicinity. They both have different selection procedures. My first choice invites people for an interview after a selection of the application letters and the other one invites everyone for a selection day.


I have already been to an interview at the first one!!! Seven people were invited and there's only one job... Today (a week after the chat), I will receive a phone call either inviting me to the next step (an afternoon in the OR)...or not. This is done to make the final selection and will only be done with one or two applicants.
IT'S NAIL BITING TENSION!!!


IF I get selected, I may have to start another blog :)


Thank you for reading about my Starbucks "adventure"


Love,


Joanna
