Looks like it would have made sense to just start me on January 2nd but I feel very lucky to have this opportunity and will not ever talk down to anyone receiving UC benefits for more than a year because I know how tough it is to find jobs today. I was also lucky enough to get the same type of role which is Job Counselor with a minor role in Job Development which I am excited to learn more so I can take on that role in the future.
I'm real happy for you, TVSG! Congratulations!

Good. Keep paying attention to opportunities to transfer to a different department. That will increase your skill set and make you more employable should you choose to leave.

How long until you're vested in the retirement system?

We are all happy for you. May I ask? Isn't there a job hiring freeze? I assume this isn't a federal job?
