Job Interviews

So I checked my email this morning and much to my delight I have 3 interview offers. Two of which I have confirmed time and dates and one of which I am waiting to hear back from. One interview is this Friday and one is on Monday. One of the interviewers wants me to bring in a transcript, so I likely won't get that job since I have 11 failed courses. But the other job never asked for a transcript, so hopefully I can avoid that with them.

The job I am most excited for didn't come from the UBC connect website, it came from a reply to a website submission I submitted about a week ago. The job is for Drive Basketball, and they are the premier youth basketball development league in the province. They handle all of the provincial teams. I am still not sure if it is volunteer or a paid job. In the email, the owner said that he was interested in me "working" for him, so there is a chance it might be a paid job. I would love doing the Drive Basketball job if it was volunteer, but you can only imagine  how excited I'd be if it was paid. Right now I'm just praying (i'm not really religious) that I get the job with them, and also that it is a paid position. If its not paid, i'd still be happy to volunteer with them.

I will post more in the coming days if I get more interviews/ updates on the interviews I have lined up.

Part-time Jop Applications

Since I've been doing well this semester, I thought it'd be a good idea to get a part time job. There are a lot of cool jobs on the UBC volunteer connect website. I applied to a bunch of those jobs. The only problem is that most of those jobs are 20 hours a week. This seems like it might be a bit too much for me. I would prefer about 10-12 hours a week. But I'm not even sure if I'll get an interview, considering I've only completed 1 year of classes and thus am in second year.

I think a lab job would be interesting. I have lab experience at St. Paul's Hospital. Although this was boring at times, I did enjoy going to the lab. There was one job that I am particularly gunning for. It was working with the UBC Men's basketball team. I would absolutely love working for the basketball team, as I am a huge fan of the UBC men's team. I am also a former high school basketball player myself, so hopefully they will view me favorably in the application.

If I could hear back from a 10 hour a week job, that would be ideal. I applied saturday night and I've already received one email saying that they are currently combing through applications. So I will post more if I get invited to some interviews.

Current Average

So I started this blog because I got inspired by (http://premedpostmom.blogspot.ca/). I absolutely love her blog and I'm really routing for her to get into medical school soon. She deserves it from how hard she works.

Anyways a little about me, I have attended 4 different post secondary institutions and failed a total of 11 half semester classes (or 33 credits if a degree is 120 credits). Yet I am still trying to get into medical school.

But now, for the first time (in a full courseload) I am getting good grades. I currently have a 96% average. It feels really good to know that my past failures won't hold back my future grades. I will however be limited in the med schools that I can apply to.
