pours Irish coffee I'm officially pursuing a full time position at the awesome research/teaching hospital I want to work at, as opposed to a part time or temporary position + grad school. I'm sending my cover letter to the people actually in charge of hiring decisions tomorrow, and that's after they've seen my resume and talked to my point of contact in hospital admin, who did my phone interview yesterday. The position is kind of a foot-in-the-door job, but I'll be using my education, volunteer experience and work experience to work in the field that I want, with room for promotion/growth and continued education. And it's full time. I'm pretty excited. They loved my resume, shout out to _refugee_, kleinbl00 and thenewgreen for their help with it. Now just comes the 'graduate school' bit.
