Me? A role model?
As it turns out, I GOT THE JOB!
While I"m not 100% clear on the job responsibilities, I am going to be helping other mentally ill people get off assistance and get back into the work force. You can read my story if you peruse my archives, and it proved a powerful story for my interviewers.
They were looking for someone with speaking experience, as I will be making presentations from time to time, and empathy for those who have mental illnesses. Just like my present job, this one requires that you have a mental illness. It looks like I have found a new career track, as I can't seem to get away from this. ;-)
Also, having my own laptop with wireless connectivity didn't hurt either.
I'm off to Atlanta next month for the training, exactly when I'll let you know when I liveblog from there.
More info as it becomes available.
