Communication position I DIDN'T apply for!

Posted by 2DI4 at 10:20 PM

So I went to work because I STILL hadn't received my transcript from BYU-Hawaii and I wanted it to count for my Salt Lake County 30-hour Marketing/Communication Assistant position I applied for. It was FINALLY there today thanks to the time difference BUUUT the position closed today. I tried to call Human Resources to convince them to let me add it. I already uploaded my MLS and MBA transcripts so I didn't think they'd mind adding my English BA. To my dismay she had no record of me applying AT ALL although she did have a record of my profile BUUUT now it's too late and I won't even be considered. WOW!!!

Instead I submitted a BYU application because they have a librarian position which for the first time aligns with my experience. It is a librarian who concentrates on freshmen and teaching them research skills. With my BA in English and experience teaching research writing and APA style to incoming students at Stevens-Henager College it fits me perfectly. I don't want to live in Provo however or work at an academic library. BYU is the best school in the state however and it would look good on my resume. I did enjoy going to school there back in the day. It would give me faculty status and could potentially pay me more if I worked there for several years AND give me amazing benefits. GRRR!!! Who knew I'd even have a choice? It is tough to decide. I hate Provo although after living in Logan for 4 years it is a total improvement over Cache Valley.

I'm not an idiot however. The Lehi position is my first choice and I can see myself doing a lot of outreach and exploring the Lehi community. I think it is what I would enjoy... BUT... BYU has regular devotionals with apostles each week and the prophet even. I'm sure I could take some religion classes and exploit my scripture nerd tendencies. BYU-Hawaii gives the faculty an all-expense paid trip EVERY 3 years. I can't imagine BYU is different. There are probably more single worthy men in Utah Valley than in Salt Lake City. I love that my brother lives there. I love my nieces and nephews and it would be fun being close to them. I have MANY first cousins there. My dad's brother lives in Orem.

I kind of hate how many people from my hometown live there now BUT it is also a good thing. If I can't get a public librarian job this really isn't a bad option. Decisions, decisions GRRR!!! Of course I have to even get an interview for both. I still need to write and then submit a CV and cover letter. I don't even have a CV. I can write anything however, I'm not scared of that. EITHER job is a blessing. BYU would be a second choice BUUUT NOT a bad second choice.

Living in Provo to me would be hell. Almost as bad as Logan. I want to be there for my mother too. She said she was considering moving there.

I looked at the church employment site and typed in Librarian. The search pulled up 2 librarian positions at LDS Business College. I could walk to work there from my mom's house. Each position listed its posting as 6 days ago BUUUT the posting date was February and is probably the posting I saw when I tried to get out of my contract with Sharla earlier this year. I called the library and asked if they have an opening and they don't BUUUT she told me to check after Fall semester. They had a part time position that could work once I am working because LDS Business College has a working professional population that attends school at night similar to Stevens-Henager College.

I am really grateful that Jimmy allowed me to not have to worry about that. I actually think working at Lehi will prepare me to manage the new Marmalade library that should have its building finished and open next year. I would be an excellent manager there which is like being a director for the Lehi library, Logan library or any individual county library. Lehi would prepare me best to takeover the Marmalade library. I would enjoy getting to know the community better that I live in. I could sooo get used to that.

If I move to an administrative position at the Main library that would be ideal and it would be in walking distance to my loft I will be able to afford with my nice big salary and real estate side deals I make. Life is sweet!!!

4 Nephi

2 And it came to pass in the thirty and sixth year, the people were all converted unto the Lord, upon all the face of the land, both Nephites and Lamanites, and there were no contentions and disputations among them, and every man did deal justly one with another.
 3 And they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they were all made free, and partakers of the heavenly gift.
 4 And it came to pass that the thirty and seventh year passed away also, and there still continued to be peace in the land.
 5 And there were great and marvelous works wrought by the disciples of Jesus, insomuch that they did heal the sick, and raisethe dead, and cause the lame to walk, and the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear; and all manner of miracles did they work among the children of men; and in nothing did they work miracles save it were in the name of Jesus.
 6 And thus did the thirty and eighth year pass away, and also the thirty and ninth, and forty and first, and the forty and second, yea, even until forty and nine years had passed away, and also the fifty and first, and the fifty and second; yea, and even until fifty and nine years had passed away.
 7 And the Lord did prosper them exceedingly in the land; yea, insomuch that they did build cities again where there had been cities burned.
 8 Yea, even that great city Zarahemla did they cause to be built again.
 9 But there were many cities which had been sunk, and waters came up in the stead thereof; therefore these cities could not be renewed.
 10 And now, behold, it came to pass that the people of Nephi did wax strong, and did multiply exceedingly fast, and became an exceedingly fair and delightsome people.
 11 And they were married, and given in marriage, and were blessed according to the multitude of the promises which the Lord had made unto them.
 12 And they did not walk any more after the performances andordinances of the law of Moses; but they did walk after the commandments which they had received from their Lord and their God, continuing in fasting and prayer, and in meeting together oft both to pray and to hear the word of the Lord.
15 And it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people.
 16 And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner oflasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.
 17 There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God.
 18 And how blessed were they! For the Lord did bless them in all their doings; yea, even they were blessed and prospered until an hundred and ten years had passed away; and the first generation from Christ had passed away, and there was no contention in all the land.
