Her degree is in Biology, and last week she attended a Job Fair in Columbia.
The lady doing the *critical sorting* of applications, encouraged her, asking her to slightly alter her resume " like so" - - strongly adding to Aubrey the fact, "While I cannot choose the ones selected, I am the one who steers them to the top of the stack..:))"
The position is as a Criminalist with SLED for the state, right in Columbia where she lives. Very high starting salary, too.
Aubrey has been on her own since the day after her high school graduation, when "home" moved 75 miles away.
Her Dad in California has helped her with apartment rent/books, etc., but Aubrey has worked since she was 15 - often with 2 jobs, working her way through college.
Much of that was restaurant work, often being made Assistant Manager - always very responsible, and good with persons.
Her initial interest was to become a Pharmacist, but when she worked at a hospital as a Pharm Tech for nearly a year, it was enough to make her realize without real patient contact, it was boring and not at all challenging.
Adjusted her direction, and is almost reaching her goal.
She did not date a great deal during college, always working and highly selective, but in the past several months has been dating someone she's known since her teen years.
He is the older brother of a good (boy) friend in school - had a crush on him, but he of course wasn't interested then.
Different story now that she has blossomed, and is lovely and capable and well grounded! Very focused and versatile.
Oh, yes - she has been brainwashed by her grandparents and parents
to be a Christian, very conservative lady..:))
Excellent M. She has had a great teacher in her Grand mother..
Aubrey sounds lovely in every way. I shall look forward to hearing more of her and how this job opportunity works out.
And tell me now, you have two granddaughters and how many grandsons? (One, I remember, who was battling a tough infection a while back. I trust he is better?)
