Working Girl

I officially started my new Job at Critchfield Dental this week and I really enjoyed it. . This is actually the office that I just walked into and asked them if they happened to have any openings back in September, and they didn't for a hygienist, but they were in desperate need of a dental assistant for the next week. So I did some assisting for their Doctors for a week and from then on they have been calling me when ever they needed a temporary hygienist.  Then about a month ago they asked me If I would like to work there and of coarse I was excited because I love the Dentists and Staff and its less than a mile away from Midwestern in Glendale. It will be a consistent 2 days a week but some weeks will be 3 days, which is perfect.

I also will still be working at Wigwam Creek Dental out in Litchfield park a few days a month, mostly on Friday's or Saturdays. This office has such an upbeat staff that is hilarious and just makes a great experience for their patients.

The job hunting experience has been such an humbling experience for me, its hard to put yourself out there and try to convince people that you are the best for their job. I would always feel as I was applying to jobs that if they would just let me work for them for a day, they would see that they would want me.


It is another testimony to me that Heavenly Father works in his own time and what will be the best for us. Even though I don't like the starting a new job every day feeling of temping, I learned a lot from having to temp at a lot of different offices and made some great connections that way. It helped me to know what I would want in a job and employer and want I would not like. In addition, the tender mercies that came along with getting these two jobs have been pretty neat.
So I'm a little bit worn out from working this week, but also really excited to be a little bit more of a (consistent) working girl.
