About Me

Hello! Thanks for joining me in my new venture as a "My Dream Job" winner! It's going to be a great experience. My goal besides achieving my dream is to offer hope to others like myself that may be searching a new career in our "sunset years". It's never too late!

Interests:
Travel (have taken 5 cruises and would like to take many more); community volunteering; church leadership. Family and my 8 grandchildren are my lifelong interests. They are the reward for any of life's struggles

Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

I've recently accepted a 4 month assignment at the University of San Diego (UCSD) in the School of Medicine in La Jolla, CA. It's a commute, but everything else is right on ! I will be supporting the Director of Graduate Affairs in the Biomedical Science Department.
 
They are in their "recruiting season" and will accept 75 (MD and PhD)candidates out of 300 plus applications. These people have already gone to school for 4 - 6 years and are preparing for 5-7 more years to begin in the Fall of 09.
 
It's fascinating to see the current class in their white coats and to meet some of the best brains in the country!
 
I will be closer to my dream job than ever before and each person I come in contact with may be able to help me. They've already said after they've seen what I can do in two days...they'd like to keep me, but the budgets will tell the story in March when we are finished choosing our candidates. The mountains of paperwork that goes into each person's file is incredible. I'm also getting to use my Medical Terminology and possibly my transcription skills too.
 
Wanted to thank all of you for your prayers, love and support. It really feels great to have so many incredible people in my life. I am truly Blessed!
 
Love to all,
 
Kat/Kathryn

I wanted to thank you for your kind and uplifting comments to me and wanted to extend my own to you. You sound pretty amazing to me and I admire you for going for this. In fact, let me tell you, you have inspired me to perhaps do this myself. I am going to write tonight or tomorrow about my unhappiness in my 5 months old job and feeling like I don't fit the job and it doesn't fit me. I have a history of working medical/dental but am behind the times in skills. Perhaps I need to take just such a class and get a good job in the healthfield again. I know that I miss it a lot. So....God does indeed work in mysterious ways.

You go Girl. Keep up the good work and keep the faith.
BTW, my own 7 grandchildren are my pride and joys but 5 live in FL and I live in Texas. I work in San Marcos, TX and knew there is a San Marcos, CA and saw you live there. Wow.
Take care
Jeannie
