Hip, Hip, Hooray again!!!!! I got the call yesterday that I was selected for the position I applied for. I'm so excited and Aaron and I are extremely relieved. Such a huge weight off our shoulders.
I will the "motor specialist" for the early intervention services on post at Ft. Knox. Basically, I will be visiting families in their home and working with their children ages 0-3 who are need of therapeutic intervention. I will primarily be evaluating the children and training the parents in techniques to improve their challenges. I'm thrilled to have this opportunity. EI is only aspect of occupational therapy I have yet to work in. Granted, I've worked a lot with the 0-3 population but doing ONLY that will be so cool.
Now, the not so fun part of negotiating a government salary. The position is through the Department of Defense so I'm getting a "coveted" GS position. Which means once I'm in the system I can stay for good. Get regular raises, promotions, and can transfer jobs between different places. So it will hopefully help with all our future moves and make it easier to get jobs at the different posts we go to.
Until later :) xoxoxoxox
