Another interview! :)

And this one isn't selling office supplies. YAY!


It's at a place called Bebashi. (www.bebashi.org) Please check it out!

Bebashi is an organization that provides services to AIDS patients of color in low-income areas. Here are the responsibilities of the position:

-administrative + data entry (Careware- input data regarding clients)
-working with volunteers and students (internships practicums)
-some interaction with clients (applications + food bank)

Seems a decent mix of stuff, opportunities to build skills, and there's room to move up to case management.

Also:

It's full-time, 40 hours a week, 9-5. I'd work some events outside of normal hours, but that's with practically any non-profit job. Best part is that there are health benefits + dental + vision, long/short term disability, life insurance, and paid time off. The salary is around $27K, I believe. I think that's what it said on the listing and I gave my range to him as 24K to 31K and he said it was on above the lower end of that range.

They didn't get many responses to the ad; that improves MY chances. :) The reason he didn't get many responses is because he purposely didn't put the name of the organization in the listing because they're an AIDS organization and I suppose he didn't want to scare people off. I would have put the name in to weed people out because if you're scared of working with AIDS patients, then you're super lame and don't need to be there anyway. :/ I think I either traced the name from the email or emailed and asked so I could check out the web page.

So it sounds like a good job. I'm also hoping to hear back from some that I applied to at Drexel University in the psychology department. One is a Research Technician position working with a study involving anger management and truancy (I think?) in children- lord knows that's a HUGE problem here. I'm pissed at a potentially missed opportunity at...somewhere. Their stupid call-in supplemental question system never worked for me and no one ever returned my calls to the helpline! :( Guess it wasn't meant to be.

Anyway, the interview is Friday at 10AM.

Danke! I'm excited that the job has good benefits. Maybe I can finally afford that blood pressure medicine that I'm supposed to be on and haven't taken in a year. >_<

That sounds like a great job. I would love to work somewhere that would pay me to help people with HIV/AIDS (or teach people how to prevent it).

Yeah, I'm hoping that it doesn't turn out like the last interview where it sounded cool until I got there and realized it was lame. They seem legit, though. I should study up on HIV/AIDS, although I know a bizarre amount of information already for some reason. Still, a refresher can't hurt.
