Job Update

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated the blog, there really hasn't been much going on worth writing about.  But I do have some news now :)  Last week I was informed by a friend of mine (who works for Bank of America - Corporate) that a new job had just come across her desk that she thought would be perfect for me.  So I emailed her my resume and within 10 minutes the staffing department was calling to set up a phone interview.  We had the interview the following day and it went well.  After completing a series of Microsoft Assessments and background checks, I had a face-to-face interview yesterday.  I met with 3 people during my interview at the Bank yesterday.  The job is an Administrative Assistant III position supporting the Sr. VP of E-commerce/E-channels and 3 other Executive Directors.  The main responsibilities of the job are calendaring, creating/updating powerpoint presentations, and keeping the Directors organized and efficient as a whole.  I met with the Sr. VP yesterday along with the HR Director and a fellow Admin to get a better idea of the position and environment.  All had very positive things to say about this Department within the Bank - and the people that I would specifically be working for.  They stressed that it was a "drama-free" department, everyone worked together as a team and maintained great senses of humor.  Honestly, outside of the responsibilities seeming a little intimidating at first (mostly b/c it's a new industry and I've been out of work for a year), it seems like a GREAT opportunity.  Not to mention the Bank has a good reputation for taking very good care of its associates.  Not only will it offer an $11,000 grant towards our adoption, but it will also allow me at least 3 months "maternity leave" to stay home with our baby once we bring him home.  However, there are still a few things that I'm not thrilled about.  The job would put me back in the center of Uptown Charlotte, working for a very large Corporate Company, and being gone roughly 10 hours a day (including bus time each way).  So, not ideal, but altogether a very good package.  It could help a lot with the adoption process.  All this said, I am confident that the Lord is sovereign over all and will open and close doors as He see's fit.  I have no reason to question, doubt, or be concerned in any way.  I'm just reminded to rest in His sovereignty and be a good steward of whatever it is He puts before me.
