Great news! I've felt like you were my brother-in-unemployment for the longest time. I'm sincerely thrilled for you.

You would be my brother in unemployment. I was your sister in unemployment! That's okay, though.
It's temporary and part time, but it could lead to permanent full time. It's 4 hours from where I live now, and 7 hours from the city I was planning to move back to if everything fell through, but hey, I can adapt.
Congrats!!!!!
You are a girl?

It's an unusual environment. It's a pharmacy in an average sized nursing home (this service is usually contracted out; maybe they service other facilities too) and the home itself has a very low rating from the state and other entities. 😱 Guess it's a good thing I can check it out through the agency before pursuing it further - and that includes moving 4 hours away to a city where I don't know anybody.
Is it a bigger city compared to where you are now? Yikes...that is one big move for a part-time job, but it's better than nothing. Not knowing anyone might be a good thing...you can start over. Maybe even meet a guy, get married, pop out some babies

No, it isn't. It's a small city with a big college, in an area that's even more rural than the one I live in now.
As for popping out babies, that's something I never wanted to do, and at my age, it's highly unlikely.
That's great rph. You give hope to us all. 👍
I was also contacted by an agency regarding an opening in my region (and it's 50 miles from a pharmacy school; wonder why they're using one?) and this guy reminds me of a used car salesman. I might just pursue this one on my own.
While reviewing my resume, the "used car salesman" mentioned a job I had left after 4 months, something I've always had trouble explaining, and I told him that I was a poor fit for the job (which was true; I'll spare all of you the gory details). He replied that their agency had had a lot of problems with that particular hospital over the years, and I wasn't the only one.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say we're gonna end up neighbors.
Shut the front door!!!

This place has the same street address as the main nursing home it services, although it's in a different building, and also supplies 5 other homes as well. It's part of a bigger company, and they are opening a "filling station" 😛 in this town.
My nervousness was unwarranted; as pharmacy jobs go, it appears relatively easy.

And I got an offer on my house! 👍 Thing is, I have no idea what city I'll be moving to! This is absolutely insane. I'll look for a place that has a month-to-month lease so I'll at least have some kind of permanent address, even if it's a Staybridge Suites which will allow me to have my cats with me.
I heard someone say on a news report that job hunting can be as stressful as getting married or having a child. Having done neither, I don't know about that, but it hasn't been a vacation by any stretch of the imagination and my parents applauded me for the way I've handled things.
In addition, I had my official house inspection today, and the inspector's wife used to work at the same hospital as a tech, and he asked about several of my former co-workers. 😎 She left before I started, because of our dreadful boss, and now works in another department in the hospital, and he said that for the past year-plus, people there have been walking on eggshells, something I already knew about and found out the hard way. 🙁

Because they're still alive. No, I don't feel that I exist for this purpose, but I do deserve their support, don't I?
You deserve all the support. Just don't go around telling people your parents are proud of you... it's ok for a 5 year old to do that... kinda weird when a 40 something says it.
Congrats! Good to have a job in the hand doesn't it? 👍 It's tough to be waiting to hear back while others are talking about their offers. I would recommend being a little more sensitive if some of your classmates don't have one yet, But good job. 😀
She's not a student. She's a long time pharmacist who has had some difficulty finding a job... for over a year I think. It's been discussed a ton on this forum. That's why we're all happy for her.

Maybe it's a female thing, but I still value the pride of my parents above other accolades. 🙂
It's also a cultural thing (at least for me).
And now in the midst of all this, I was contacted this morning for an interview by a hospital I don't even remember applying at! 😕 It would have been quite a while ago too, because I stopped looking when I listed my house at the end of March.
A couple weeks ago, I got a "we decided to hire someone else" e-mail from a place I applied at in OCTOBER - and it's in a metro area with two pharmacy schools.
I did schedule that interview for a few weeks from now, after I've moved. We'll see what happens; my current job could indeed turn permanent.

I mentioned the interview contact on my Facebook page, and one of my FFs suggested something I hadn't even thought of: that this is a new opening and they still had my app on file. Makes sense.
I did sign up to go to the interview; it's about 3 weeks from now, and a lot can happen in that time. If the job I have now turns permanent, I'll cancel. We'll see! 🙂

Exhuming an old thread: I did go to that hospital interview, partly because they were paying my traveling expenses and also because I realized that part time job was not one where I wanted to go permanent, and the hospital called me the next morning with a job offer, saying that they thought I was an excellent match for the job.
I started last month, and everyone's telling me that I am doing a great job. I sure hope so! 😍
And people here don't tell their friends not to come to the hospital here, which towards the end is what was happening (and still is) at the last place.
