Home Sweet Home

T-ass and I made it safely home last night. After a 10 days away from home it was a good feeling to sleep in my own bed. I think that I am still tired and will likely need a couple more days to fully recover from the trip.

My time in Edmonton was lazy yet enjoyable. I stayed with my friends A&K in their new home, and had some good quality girl time with Andrea.

My interview went quite well in Edmonton. The job seems like a good fit for me. A combination of training, development, and management. Although it will be similar to the job that I held at Fed Co-op, it appears to be a lot more proactive and progressive. The company definitely seemed to have its shit together. As part of the next stage of the interview process I am to prepare some learning materials for a small area of their business. I guess this will along them an opportuntiy to look at the work I am capable of. They have given me some topical information that I need to transform into learning. This involves a small presentation of the information and methods that will ensure the comprehension and retention of the information. Also, I need to create a 'job aid.' Some sort of quick reference material that an employee can access when asked questions or clarifications from customers. I have been able to put together a brief powerpoint presentation outlining the information, however I have hit a wall in trying to formulate some sort of FUN activity to ensure the group will retain the information. I think I could use some more relevant or background information. That might help.

As for my job search, it has pretty much stalled with me focusing on these interviews. However I really shouldn't let that stop me. I think I need a day to get back into the swing of things around the house. Working on this presentation and doing laundry seems to be my limit today. I didn't even really enjoy the hour I put into WoW this morning. That was a little surprising.
