Okay. So I take this test for a potential new job on Saturday 9-21. I need good lucks/vibes/prayers/whatevers so that I can really ROCK this thing.
I have a Bachelor of Science in a discipline that is notoriously difficult to obtain employment in with ONLY a BS. I knew this going into the program, and I am currently enrolled in a Master's degree program. However, I work in a capacity that is far removed from the work I'd like to be doing. It is monotonous, mind numbingly dull, and totally not a challenge for me. But it pays bills so for that I am thankful.
I'd like this new job because:
1) I'd like a job that challenges me
2) I'd like a job that's in my field and area of interest
3) I'd like the experience I'd gain from obtaining this employment
4) I'd be able to maintain my current retirement plan and be vested within the next year
Thanks in advance for prayers and good thoughts! I really appreciate it!

I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - UnknownRelationships are like sharing a book, it doesn't work if you're not on the same page.

Thank you fireproof! You're awesome! It's not exactly an interview at this point... just a test. A standardized test. It's hard to explain without giving too much away.
Thank you also Losfer and Jo2!!
