it's a job!


Recruiting season has FINALLY ended.
Talk about the longest but shortest 2 months ever.
Let me break it down for ya.

Jared applied to 9 different companies.
From those 9 companies he received
6 first round interviews.
From those 6 first round interviews, he received
4 second round interviews… in 4 different states.

Spokane Washington

Medford Oregon

Boise Idaho

Crete Nebraska.

And from those 4 second round interviews,
He received 2 (HOLLER!) job offers.
A job in Medford, Oregon
And a job in Boise, Idaho.
***
EDIT 11.30.12
make that 3 job offers... we just heard back from Crete Nebraska!
***
We were THRILLED.
But pretty stumped on which job to take.

Remember how I said jared wanted a job in public accounting?
Well, the job offer in Medford was his ideal job.
A Public Tax Accountant.
so i thought for sure Medford Oregon
was going to become our new home.
and then Boise Idaho threw in a very
unique offer working for a private company.

And so we needed to choose,
between 2 VERY different career paths.
The public route, like jared had always thought he would do,
or the private route.

It was a VERY difficult decision to make,
but after lots of prayers,
we knew the job in Boise, Idaho was
Jared’s.

*insert happy dance here*

I am SO EXCITED to be moving back to southern Idaho.
i grew up living and traveling all over the world,
And never in a million years would I have ever thought
that Idaho would become my home.

But truth is, i LOVE it here.
We are so very excited and feel so blessed to have
a job when so many don’t.

Now we just need to get jared through 1 more semester
of school, and then it’s off to BOISE IDAHO
at the end of may to *finally* start our adult career.

We can wait!

That is so awesome! We are desperately wanting to come back to southeast Idaho. I am so glad you guys have a job, it is such a relief! So I guess I shouldn't complain too much about living in Montana, we do have a good job :)
