Also while I'm on the topic of being done with school, I've been thinking about jobs. I know I always have a dilemma with school and /or work. Right now I'm teaching Good Touch Bad Touch (GTBT) as my job and as my internship. I go into elementary schools in Cache Valley and teach kids about Sexual Abuse, Bullies, and Stranger Danger. It is fun and I really like it but it is basically part time and once June comes and school is out, I don't really have anything to do. BUT there is a job opening at my current place of employment for a Home Visitor/Parent Advocate. I would go into homes and give parents advice and information on parenting and all sorts of things. It is a part time position and would start after Thanksgiving. A few of the girls at work really want me to apply for it. Here is my dilemma though....
1. I'm not sure if I really want to go into someones home. Sometimes people can have nasty/scary homes.
2. I'm already obligated and have a responsibility to finish doing GTBT and giving my time to that, since I told them I would be around until June. Both jobs are P/T so I could possibly do both. I just don't want the GTBT supervisor to think I'm not dedicated to doing GTBT.
3. When June comes, it would be really nice to have a job. GTBT will basically be done so it would be nice to have a job already at the center where I don't have to go searching for something else.
If I want to do it, I have to turn my resume in by Nov. 15th. That gives me one week to decide.

I say turn in a resume and just see. A resume isn't a decision. If they offer you the job then you can decide.
Welcome to my world, times 160.
I agree. Fill out the resume, then if you're offered the job, explain the situation and see what they think.
I agree with Sharli, turn it in to see if they would even consider you but if it conflicts with GTBT then I wouldn't do it. Plus, in June all the students leave so I'm SURE you will be able to find a job quickly.
Go for it! GTBT can't think you aren't dedicated to your job just because you get another part time job. Plus going into those nasty/scary homes would just show how much you are really needed.
ps- I miss you.
I agree with what everyone else is saying.
I almost bet you could do them at the same time until June since they are both part-time. I think employers understand that people need full-time jobs so if GTBT finds out you need another part-time job I don't think it will be any reflection on your dedication but just needing more money/hours.
