Good things come to those who wait!

Since April of this year my daughter Brittany has methodically and with sincere dedication searched for a job. She graduated from HACC (Harrisburg Area Community College)with an associates degree in business management with a concentration in computer science. She has made application and endured endless interviews with often disappointing results.

On a number of occasions she was led to believe that an offer was forthcoming but it never materialized. Though often frustrated she persevered. I saw her reduced to tears at times yet each week she dutifully searched for new postings, submitted applications and arranged interviews.

This week she had scheduled 5 interviews. I am happy pleased and proud to report that she has been offered and accepted a position with a new OB/GYN practice which will be opening Oct. 1. She will be their Administrative Assistant/Receptionist. The practice which is branching off from an existing practice will be small at first. I believe there will be just 5 people in the office initially. Her hours will be part time but will likely lead to full time in the near future. This is ideal for her at this point. She is continuing her part time employment with the Harrisburg Academy of Dance as an instructor/office assistant and has also secured a part time job with American Eagle Outfitters (she really wants the discount).

I cannot adequately express how proud I am of her and her persistence. 5 months of active job search is a tough thing. She "manned up" as they say and made it her job to find a job, and has found a situation which appears to be ideal. Congratulations Babe! You will do great and the people who were smart enough to hire you will not regret it. They are getting an intelligent, beautiful, dedicated worker.
