<h5>Oh yes, it has finally happened.</h5>

I've been looking around for a job for a while now. I was in no rush, but figured I should keep my eyes open if a good one came along. The thing is, I have two wishes which made the search a lot harder. I wanted to drive half an hour max, preferably within my current province, because driving here is a breeze. I also wanted to work three days max.

I applied to a fulltime job, but got rejected ofcourse. I applied to a parttime job that seemed to fit my cv, but got rejected, because I *'wasn't eligible for the job'*, whatever that means. I talked to a few recruiters who all told me my parttime wishes meant they didn't have anything for me *(how progressive of IT jobs. And they still wonder why there aren't more women in IT...)*. I talked to one recruiter who called bullshit on that and he wants to meet after his vacation.

So, multiple rejections in a row! This spoiled brat was not used to that. I was used to getting invited for every job I applied to. I guess things are a little different once you leave the north. Or was it the parttime thing?

I kept on searching and then, I found a job posting for 30 minutes away from here. A job for 24-36 hours a week. Not in my province, but an easy drive nonetheless. I wrote my application letter and while doing this, I noticed the planned date for job interviews had already passed. Bah! I was still able to send in my application though, so figured what the heck. I wrote in the application that I want 3 days, 24 hours, but I'm flexible if there's ever a little more work to be done.

I got a call the day after to invite me for an interview. So this friday, I will head over there and we'll see how things go!

What I like about this job is that it is in the healthcare sector, like my previous job(s). It has care facilities and such, which my first (longest) job had aswell, so I know a little about how such a company works. What I also like about this job is that I will be managing the HR application and they want knowledge of HR processes. I managed and expanded the HR platform in my first job, so I know a lot about this. The only downside is that I don't know this particular application. I said so in the application too, so that won't come as a surprise. How hard can it be though, as long as I'm already familiar with HR processes, learning a new application should be easy enough.

The job posting's starting date stated 1 october, which is basically the monday after my first interview. I don't know if they would want me to start that quickly, but just in case, I'm taking things easy this week. This means even less time on Steemit/Weku/pc in general.

If I do get this job, we'll have to hurry up and buy a new (used) car, because hubby is using mine for his daily drive to work. He'll need his own if I start using mine, but buying a used car doesn't have to take long, so we should be fine. I could tell them I'm starting a week later because of this, but we'll see!

I have mixed feelings about this whole thing. I'm enjoying the time I get to spend working on my own stuff right now, but it's not bringing in any extra cash *(darn crypto drops)*, so getting a regular job is really interesting financially speaking. There are still so many things I want to do to make this home perfect *(like solar panels)*. I want to cut down on our monthly costs, so I want to lower our mortgage faster than we do now. I want other durable solutions installed at some point. It all costs money. Money I can't earn through Steemit right now. So yeah, regular job would be good.

Besides, I had a couple of great years at my previous, longest job in a similar position, so this could be a great opportunity! I loved the challenges there and it showed me work doesn't always have to be bad/boring/annoying/whatever. It *can* actually be fun and challenging.

*Fingers crossed!*
