SOOO...I think I got a job today :) I had an interview and was told later that I should be hearing from HR soon with an offer. It is for a Programs Coordinator position at the Hollings Cancer Center - Medical University of South Carolina (well know teaching hospital/school). I would be in charge of clinical studies for head and neck. So that means working with patients, drug companies, doctors, medical boards, and ethic boards. The pay isn't exactly what I thought it would be , but there is talk about it getting raised next year and there is always opportunity for upward mobility. But what I like most about the job is that I get to help people with cancer!!!!!! My mother passed away from leukemia three years ago and was part of a clinical study....unfortunately it didn't work for her, but I met several people that were successful....people that would've died without the clinical study. So I feel this job will give me the chance to work with cancer patients and help save lives. You guys are the first to know...I haven't even posted it on FB. I feel like God has given me this opportunity to help me (I always felt guilty I couldn't do more for my mother) get over my issues and to help other people. It is something I believe in so I know I will be successful. I don't really have a clinical background, but I have done research at a graduate level, plus I"m a quick learner and I have the experience of being on the other side as a family member...so I can empathize.
I"m a bit nervous and hope everything works out...I'm not hired yet...I will let you know more after I get an official offer. All these months and NOT even an interview....and I finally get an interview for a position I didn't think I was qualified for and boom..they want me. Everything happens for a reason.

Sometimes its not the amount of money a job offers, but the way it makes a person feel. You're such an inspiration in so many ways. Sending prayers up for you, my friend. May God bless you with an offer that is more than you were expecting and more than they originally planned. Miracles happen when we least expect them. Best of Luck.
