I applied for a librarian position at the Church History Library. It is a few blocks from my mother's house so it would be perfect AND I am pretty sure it pays a billion times better than Sutter Physician Services. It is a nice laid-back environment. Calls are not steady like they were at First Security Bank Collections or even at Overstock.com. I also did that mini-call center place at Eastman Sports warehouse in the International Center while I was a librarian sub. That's when it REALLY hit home how I don't like these type of jobs. The contrast between working as a substitute librarian and working customer service was too great.

I am excited they called me for an interview Friday. I first learned of it on the LDS Librarians Facebook page and a couple other people applied for it. Since it is only my second week of training there is no way I can miss a day or even a couple hours in a day. I submitted a request Monday to get off on Thursday the 14th. They approved my trip to St. George and the woman I spoke with from the church history library agreed to interview me on the phone Friday at 7am. I think I am much better in person BUUUT it may work to my advantage. People often assume I'm younger AND stupid when they see me in person. It is only when they actually take the time to get to know me better that they learn differently. The Children's outreach librarian position interview went really well. They told me the main weakness I had was no Children's librarian experience.

I like that Sutter Physician Services really cares about the patient and wants to help them. It is their first priority, even before collecting what is owed on the account. If a patient dies it is their policy to write off their charges. That is also awesome. Everyone I meet at Sutter loves their job and the company. THAT doesn't mean I'm going to love it ALTHOUGH with their work at home option it is PERFECT ESPECIALLY if I can do it part time. I'm not going there however UNTIL I prove myself AND that's certainly not happening in 6 mos - it is 3 months or NOTHING.

Denise talked briefly of training opportunities. There is a part time trainer now. That is very attractive to me. As the company expands as they kept saying they will that is an opportunity I want although it can't consume me or be my only source of income. I also need to leave some time to do real estate. I didn't get my license for nothing and I need to use it and get my required continuing education credits. Sutter is not the typical call center environment. I will enjoy working there EVEN if I'm not getting paid salary right now.
