Kaymyth she/her Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Great McMuffin-summoning child of Calamity, I just got a call from the Anchorage Public Library! I was not expecting this to happen! Hooray for two callbacks! Hmm. Alaska vs. Minnesota. Ironically enough, Anchorage has a milder winter climate than Minnesota due to the coast. However, you still have to deal with the winter solstice dropping your daylight to a whopping 5 1/2 hours... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Anchorage is the better choice; despite being more expensive, the pay is better. The darkness would definitely take some getting used to, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The darkness would definitely take some getting used to, though. Definitely crunch the numbers and compare cost of living vs. higher pay and make sure that they match up. If you do land Alaska, you'll probably want to consider investing in some daylight LED bulbs to brighten up your home. It'll help. And we'll help you keep an eye out for possible Seasonal Affective Disorder mood dips during the winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see if I can find it again.... Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer he/him Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Congratulations Twi, it seems they have finally seen the light. As someone whose Job application process works different, were those "we are interested" or "you got the Job" calls? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Congratulations Twi, it seems they have finally seen the light. As someone whose Job application process works different, were those "we are interested" or "you got the Job" calls? They were "we are interested" calls. Here in the States, you apply for a job, and there's usually a closing date, after which they'll begin reviewing applications and resumes. Sometime after the closing date, if they're interested, they'll give you a phone call asking you to come in or call for an interview. After that, there'll be another review process, and when that's done, they'll let you know whether you got the job or not. Usually, if they call, you got the job; if you didn't get the job, they'll send you an email. So I'm still in the very beginning of the process, but I passed the first hurdle, so that's a step in the right direction. Fortunately, they said in the voicemail I got that they'll be holding interviews over phone and Skype, so that's one enormously long trip I won't have to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be for another week, which is good, because they want me to think of two teen programs for the interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it could be fun, but not something I'd want to come up with on the spot. Personally I'd try and run some DnD sessions, but that's just because I've got an itch to play a pen and paper rpg at the moment, and I doubt it'd be feasible. (I've been trying to think if I could do run some sort of watered down DnD campaign with the kids I look after at my OSHC job) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 It's September and Hell month is behind us. I hope we get an early fall and long frozen WINTER down south. Winter 2013/14 was so great in Louisiana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
