I received a note from the HR manager at my call center this afternoon. It stated that I have graduated from training and as of Monday I will be a salaried communicator.
Now this doesn't put me on the gravy train, but it is a hurdle. It's also more security than I have felt in the past 10-1/2 months. It also gives me a little breathing room. Instead of worrying about having a job next week, I can concentrate on improving my phone sales skills and getting weekly bonuses.
But for my family, it also means I qualify for hospitalization benefits.
No, I'm not in the same position financially I was in a year ago, but I do feel better about myself.
And besides, I wanted to have a job in broadcasting for years. Now I have a job where I'm wearing headphones, talking into a microphone. It's all good.

So good to read about the hospital benefits and security. I know how it feels. ((hugs))
More than once in the last few years something we stepped into turned out to be just that - a step. Not the full time job/place/deal we'd expected it to be, but a very significant step towards something bigger and better.
I still get the feeling you will be doing more broadcasting in the future, that this job is God's way of getting you some training and a pay package all in one! ;-)
...and I also needed reminding of those steps, since we've been standing in the dark with nowhere to step for about 18 months now. I forget that standing in Faith is as much an active exercise in doing as being busy. I tend to foeget why they say "patience is a virtue". LOL
