[Ohio-talk] I got a job!

[Smith, JW]

Dear Sheri:

I have tears in my eyes as I write this and have just read your wonderful message!

You see, I can still remember my first "real job" after graduate school and how fulfilling it was to be able to validate all of the hardwork and commitment I had put into getting to that momentous event.

I had not joined the Federation at that time but I've often thought about how my response might have been if I had been a member in 1988.

I have watched you grow and mature as a Federationist and individual and I am so happy for you and as evident by the warm responses your message has received, your Federation family is so very proud of you as well.

You are our latest sheroe and I have no doubt that you will continue to live the life you want to and  too make sure that others have that same opportunity!

Congratulations, I have to go wipe my eyes now, ok?

Subject: [Ohio-talk] I got a job!

Hello Everybody,

In the seven and a half months since graduating from UC, I have had bi-weekly meetings with my job developer, filled out countless online applications and cover letters, and I have had only 7 interviews. I was really beginning to get discouraged. Thanks to all of you who told me to keep the faith, and hang in there! Yesterday, I had an interview for an AOD Counselor position, and it seemed to go really well, as I thought the others did, but this time, something different happened. I received a call with a job offer, while on the way home in the car! Beginning December 18, I will be working for Community Behavioral Health in Hamilton, OH.
