Cruising Along
So, someone made a comment that I find the most interesting jobs. That really made me think, wow, how lucky am I? Between the whole movie set teaching gig and my new job, I never want to do anything else! So let me tell you about my new job.
Three close friends and I decided to take a cruise over our Winter Break from school, and I got to exploring around on the cruise sites. Took a look at job postings, and saw Youth Counselor, where they wanted people who had backgrounds in Education or Recreation. I had done summer camps, Boys & Girls Club, I teach catechism, substitute, etc etc and thought wow I'm perfect for this job, ESPECIALLY because I LOVE traveling. Seriously love travel...
So I applied to all these major cruise lines, and a few weeks ago got a response from Carnival Cruise Lines (basically freaked out from excitement.) They wanted to interview me, so I flew down to Miami - where the weather was MUCH better than cold Michigan - it was snowing when I was driving home from the airport at midnight... but I digress...
So the interview went SO well, and a couple days ago I got the official letter in the mail saying that I had been approved for employment and would be a Circle C Director. eeee!
You might be wondering what Circle C is? Well Carnival has tons of activities and events for kids and teenagers. Camp Carnival is for 2-11 year olds, Circle C is for 12-14 year olds, and Club O2 is for 15-17 year olds. How perfect for me to be in the Circle C position, since I have been subbing almost the past two years at the same middle school, and absolutely LOVE some of the kids... which actually makes me a little sad thinking that I will miss them. But hey, I'm going to be cruising the Caribbean (or Hawaii or Europe) so I can't complain. I told everybody I'd mail them coconuts. :)
So yes, this is my new job. Just have to get my Medical Evaluation and stuff like that done, and who knows when I start!!
