On the Telephone. I had my interview with Camp Kennolyn last night over the phone. It went really well. The woman that does the interviewing is really nice and easy to talk to, and the questions were pretty generic. I tried to just be honest and be myself. They are looking at offering me a job in the camp store. It sounds really easy, I don't even eally deal with money...the kids all have accounts that the items are deducted from, I would just have to enter their names and the items they bought into a computer. I also would sort the mail as it came in for the kids. I think that part will be really neat since you know the kids will really anticipate their mail from home. The position, like the counselor positions, is a resident one, so I'll still live and eat at the camp. She said it may even pay a little more. I'll still get days off like everyone else too.
Another job that I might get is The Naturalist, since I'm a Microbiologist. When I have my second interview with the Camp Director he is supposed to talk to me more about that. I really hope that works out because it would actually give me some experiece that is more related to my job field, and would allow me to be outdoors more. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for that one.
As you may have already deduced...I've decided to take the CA job if it's offered to me. As Rob noted yesterday on my blog...since niether job is related to my career, I should pick the cooler one. If California doesn't work out, I will be content staying here and running the peach shed, but if I didn't take the opportunity in Cali and stayed here to work, I think I would always be haunted by what might have been. Who knows what opportunities and future friends might be awaiting in CA? And at the very least, I will definitely see some amazing sights!
**Rob, they told me the date that they wanted me to be there, and I thought I should make sure they're the same as yours since we plan to road trip out. They are June 12-September 4. Are those the dates you are planning on? I definitely want to travel together, I think that will make the experience so much more fun! Let me know...either leave a note or call me**

Bonjour Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhonda,
Actually, my dates are June 15th to August 19th.
I think I'm going to fly out there instead. I calculated how much is would cost to drive just one-way and it came to:
$200 - 4 days - ($50/night hotel)
$300 - on gas (3,000 miles at 30miles/gal at 3.00/gal)
$80 - $20/day food
$580/1 way
Flying is about $300/RT.
But if you do get the job out there,
we'll still have a great time together!!
and on our day off,
we can tour San Fran. :-)
Bonjour
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yeah, I was figuring that up the other day too. It would be much cheaper and easier to fly. Then the dates won't matter so much either, since they are different. I'm sure it will still be an amazing Summer if I do get the job.
I am definitely looking forward to seeing San Fran!
I am now waiting on the second interview.
