Update On Mycareerskill

Sorry I've been AWOL, just have had a lot going on in the span of the last few months since I updated my blog. But I have a legit reason......I FINALLY GOT A JOB! And not just any shitty job, it's actually my first entry level career office job at the hospital, and I am loving it! Full time with benefits, and I have my own office I get to decorate with pictures of the hubby and fur babies. It feels amazing to be working again. I have money in my pocket, I finally am making payments on my student loan, and am putting away towards savings. God has finally answered my prayers.

Also, I finished the Mycareerskill program through Florida Gulf Coast University and received my certificate of completion in the mail, but have yet to study for the two certification exams. Honestly I don't think I learned as much through those online courses vs. volunteer time and the mass amount of experience I'm getting from my current job. Still, I'm not saying military spouses shouldn't take advantage of the courses offered, just make sure you are actively out there networking through volunteering/internships and your chances of finding a job will be better. Best of luck!
