A while back I had heard about a job with Boehringer-Ingelheim in Sioux Center, Iowa. I kept in close contact with the hiring manager there, and he sent me a link to the job when it was posted online for the application process. I applied last week Wednesday, and received a call yesterday morning for a phone interview. 20 minutes after that call I got another call from the Fort Dodge location for the SAME position, which I had applied to a while ago. So, I had a phone interview for the Sioux Center location yesterday at 1:30, and I have another phone interview at 2:00 today for the Ford Dodge location. I should hear feedback from the Sioux Center location within the next week. They just needed to decide which direction they were going to go, and if they decide to offer me the job, I should know within the next two weeks for sure. I may have to go up there for a personal interview, but I may not. It all depends on what the Hiring Manager wants to do.
I also had a phone interview with Christensen Farm's for a Sow Farm Assistant Manager position up by Estherville, Iowa. I haven't heard anything back from them yet, but should yet this week. This would be an alright position, but, it would be in a farrowing house. I would much rather be in the research field with BI, but I'm just keeping my options open.
I was offered a job with AMVC (the place I interned at last summer), but that is my back up in case the BI job doesn't come through. They offered me the job a month ago already, but they didn't want me to start working until after I had heard from the other positions I applied for. They didn't want me working for a couple of weeks and jumping ship... which I totally understand. I don't want that on my work record anyways.
So. For now, I am reallllly hoping and praying that the Sioux Center job comes through.
Sunday we are moving all of our junk out of the trailer! We will be shipping it to NW Iowa to a storage unit until we figure out what we are doing with our lives and where our home location will be... depending on what job I am offered or decide to take. Brad really doesn't want to leave his job if I don't get the job I want, which is understandable. He just wants a steady income until we figure everything out! :)
Tuesday we are closing on the house. The new owners will be dropping off the check, and I will be transferring the title and keys over to their possession. It's a bitter sweet feeling to be leaving this place. It's been "home" for the past 2 1/2 years, and it was the first major investment Brad and I made together. But, we will hopefully be moving on to bigger and better things in the future.
We aren't really sure what we are going to do for housing just yet. We know we want to buy a house, but we just don't know where we will be located just yet, not until the job situation is decided. We've been looking at houses in both the Anita and Sioux Center area, because those are the two locations that we know we will end up at. So, for the time being, we are "homeless" until everything is finalized.
Wish us luck on this .... long... journey we have ahead of us. :)
