Health and Education Services, Inc. Masters-Level Clinician

Well it's official official. I have a job. For sure this time. I even filled out paper work.

Health and Education Services (HES) is a large community mental health service provider for eastern MA. I have applied for many of their position and have actually interviewed for three different positions with them. My friend, Sarah, who lives in my building was already working for the Family Development team and told me I should apply. She told me that there are 3 BA level clinicians and only 2 MA level clinicians, and that they needed one more MA level clinician to complete the initial team. And that is exactly what I am!!! So I sent Stephanie (my new boss) my resume and we scheduled an interview for the following week. That initial interview did not work out because she was ill, but we quickly rescheduled it for Thursday. So on Thursday I went in and rocked the interview. I felt that this job would be a great fit for me. I would be working as a team with a BA level clinician to provide in-home therapy and stabilization for individuals and families. Stephanie told me that she wanted me to meet the team and give them the chance to meet me and make sure we would be a good fit before hiring me. She asked me to come back on Monday to meet everyone. So today I went in and met the team and I gave them the chance to ask questions and get to know me. It was over in 15 minutes...which worried me. Then Stephanie said "Thanks for coming in. I have a few more people I am looking at and will let you know by the end of this week." *sigh* I was so discouraged. I thought "here comes the waiting game again." So I left feeling down and thinking that if I find any other job it would simply be settling for less. I began to drive home and about 15 minutes later Stephanie calls me back and asks me to come back because I need to fill out paperwork because she is offering me the job!!!

I was beyond happy! This is the answer to MANY peoples prayers. Thanks everyone for praying for me. It works--prayer works!

So I have orientation on Friday and begin work on Monday. And what makes this job great instead of just good is all the employee benefits. This job comes with health insurance, paid vacation, personal days, sick days, mileage reimbursement, (high for me) salary, not productivity driven, and they even pay me for filling out paperwork! Whoa!

I truly feel that this is what God had planned for me. If the other job I got started on time I would not have needed to look for others and would not have found this amazing job.
