Well, after 16 months and many applications and interviews I heard just this morning that I have a job with the State. I am beside myself with joy. I don't know that I will ever appreciate a job more than this one LOL!!! The people I will work with are just great and Tony and I have similar hours in Hilo, so will save on gas and wear and tear to the cars - carpooling together. It's all good...I have great faith that 2008 will be better than ever!!
I also feel good that I got to see the process work for State jobs...you are scored on your abilities and then they have to send their recommendations BASED ON YOUR ABILITIES to HNL for their research into your past. So, although there seems to be a slant to hire people that are local, the truth seems to be that they are very strict about scoring and testing. There were several tests to complete.
