Anyone starting a new job/being promoted?

I am I am!!! I just got my MSW and I am being promoted within my agency. My first day is Monday June 14th. I am excited because I am going to make twice as much money and it is a mostly *fieldwork* position so I can plan my days how I want. I was offered some therapist positions in our outpatient mental health clinic and also at a hospital, but I don't want to be inside all day waiting for the client to come to me, and also, in those kinds of positions, you can't really do any referral/case management stuff for clients in severe need because as a therapist "you're primarily there to listen". I am also using this position as a "stepping stone". I hopefully one day will become a Director in this or a similar program

Wish me luck

I am. I got a job within 2 days of turning in my last assignment. The guys I work for are great, but I'm just not happy with the work I'm doing. I got a job with a multinational financial institution as a website usability expert in their e-commerce division. It's EXACTLY what I went to graduate school to do, it's a 20% increase in salary, and a benefits package so robust that I almost feel like crying.

I start the new gig on June 28.

I just started at Wal-Mart today! It's just a summer job...but I was getting desperate in my job hunt and I was soooo ecstatic when they called me for an interview, because I'm trying to save money for grad school.

11 days after graduating I was offered my dream job at an advertising agency. I am in media research and my day just flies. I started June 1st and couldn't be happier! I love New York!

After six months as a back waiter, I am finally being promoted to server. This will mean more money and another step to my final goal of being a wine steward.

i start today as a FULL time assistant at a realtor's office...

it's been a while since i last had a FULL time job, so lets keep our fingers crossed and hope i can make it through a FULL day!

(The only thing keeping me going is the fact that it'll soon all be over once summer is done... i don't know how i'll ever make it in the real world!)

Well I've been here most of the day. My immediate supervisor is out for today and tommorrow sick so I don't really have much to do. I've been catching up with some old colleagues who also now work in the program, read up on some client files, but until I actually meet with my other 2 members and get assigned a caseload this is as exciting as it gets for two days. I finally figured out who to log on to someone's computer (most need a password which I don't have yet) and can catch up on my GC.

I passed up a campaign position today- they wanted me full time as a Volunteer Coordinator for the Franker congressional race but I want to get through my schooling and I don't want to pass off on Phi Psi while we're colonizing.
3rd campaign position since spring break that I've passed up.

I accepted a sales assistant position at a media marketing firm in Detroit yesterday

My firm does television, they made it sound like I was over qualified for the position, but said they want me. They also pushed the fact that I can move into an account exec position in about a year

I start July 12th

i am! I got the position I applied in Waterloo
ANND - my boyfriend got the position he applied for in Kitchener. Since Kitchener and Waterloo are adjacent cities (most people call them KW) we are SUPER EXCITED! We found out about it today! What conincidence!

Congrats on your new job. I've been at my company for over a year and right now I'm being eyeballed by the higher ups for an Assistant Vice-President job. Wish me luck. This is currently in the pipe and about 6 months down the road. Wish me luck!!! !
