trickykittyI got my new job!
I start on Monday!
I'll be an accounting consultant with the SPS (Salaried Professional Services) wing of Accountemps, which is a Robert Half company, so that's who I'm technically working for. It means being able to go around to different companies learning new accounting systems, and I'm excited about their learning and tuition reimbursement program. I just might go for my CPA license after all.
My first contract is with an oil and gas company in downtown Fort Worth that could be anywhere from 2 -12 months long. The position I will be filling is Staff Accountant, and a 2nd consultant will join me in 2 weeks after her current contract finishes up. I'll be on the 21st floor of one of the high rises! This fact alone makes me squee.
It required 5 interviews with a total of 7 people, and there's still others for me to meet with eventually, but it only took a couple weeks in total. There was only one other job I interviewed for, but it's in an office with only 4 (soon to be 3) other people, and I'm a bit tired of small offices at the moment. I want to get out and be a bit more social.
Also, I'm picking up weekend and evening shifts working at Six Flags in their cash control office. I have to build back up my savings due to surgery, pinched nerve issues, car getting scraped, and other misc emergencies that the roommates have run into that I've been covering for them. I also have to spend a little extra on a few more professional outfits, since the last time I had to wear any sort of penguin suit to work was back when I was 18-19 and working in the administrative offices of the YMCA. I enjoy Six Flags, and this side job is fun (to me), inside for 95%-100% of the work shift, we HAVE to wear plain clothes so as not to be identified as employees since we're vault staff, and we even have our own restrooms and break room to discourage leaving our building too often. It's a tight knit little group of co-workers, most of whom are like me - older than your typical Six Flags employee and using this as a second job. So we tend to talk about our day jobs and families a lot.
I'm excited and actually looking forward to working this year at both places.
