Biology graduate for hire...

[Lil_Ds_Mommy]

So, it is time for me to go back to work.  Actually, it is past time for me to go back to work.  I am tired of being so stressed about money and the Medical Transcription isn't paying any bills yet.  I started a job with it, but it starts very slowly and you don't get paid as much until you are ready to be cleared from QA and you don't need someone to check over all your work.  I am bummed about leaving Elijah.  I love that I have been able to stay home with him this long.  I have only trusted one person other than my family to watch him ever...and it was only for about 2 hours, so it is going to be really hard for me to find a daycare that I will trust enough to leave him in.  But, of course, we have to do what is best for our families!

Not long before Elijah was born, I graduated from Concordia University with a BA in Biology with a Pre-Medicine emphasis and a minor in Chemistry.  I originally planned on going to medical school, but things changed obviously.  I also planned on getting a job after Elijah was born and doing the working mom thing.  However, once he was born, I realized that it was going to be too hard for me to go right back to work.   So, after we moved to OKC, I signed up to do an online course to become a Medical Transcriptionist and work from home, thinking that I would be able to make a good paycheck right away.  However, like I said, it's not happening and bills aren't getting paid.

Enough background...I have been sending out my resume all over the place.  Ideally I want to get a job and use the degree that I have.  I have it for a reason I suppose.  However, I have sent it out to ever lab job, every job requiring a biology or science degree and I haven't heard anything back.  Seriously, it's ridiculous.  I never thought that it would be so hard to get a job in a lab.  Actually, I never thought it would be this hard to get a job PERIOD!  So I also sent my resume out to administrative jobs--that's what I did before at Merrill Lynch--and all I have gotten so far is ONE call from a staffing agency.  I have an interview set up with them tomorrow, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well.  At this point I am willing to take anything.  I sent my resume to one job that I found and I really want it, but they are dragging their feet to set up the interview.  It is for someone to monitor patient during spinal surgeries, and I qualify for it.  I called them twice to followup because I am that anxious, but they are reviewing the resumes they received so they can set up the interviews.  Grrrr...when people send in a resume for a job, most generally it's because they need a job...not because they have massive amounts of money and time to wait. 

Anyway, there is my vent for the day...or week...or month, whatever.  If anyone needs a biology graduate, let me know!  

Oh,  and if anyone has recommendations for a daycare in Yukon or OKC, I would love some info!
