In my last post, I talked about how busy my last week was going to be. Well, this week is as busy if not busier. But it didn’t start off that busy for this week. But before I get into this week, let me give everybody a run down on last week happenings. As I mention in my last post, Monday, July 20, I had to go and pick up my medicine from Pike Street Clinic. Also, as I mention in last post, this was very huge for me because now I can get my diabetes medicine without have to pay for it. I was there for like three hours. Then I walked back up to the Cincinnati Public Library where I continue my research on homelessness. Then on Tuesday, July 21, I had to go to a WIA Program Orientation at One Stop. This program will help me pay for my training for a MCSE Certification if I qualify for the program. This WIA Program is a three step process. There are two Orientations that I have to attend and a one on one meeting with a Career Advisor. So, on Tuesday, July 21 and Thursday, July 23, I went to the two orientations. Plus, on Thursday, I went with Cathy to the Free Food Bank Store. That was a great adventure. Also, on Wednesday, July 22, I applied for AmeriCorps Vista program which was a great move for me because it is this move that has made this week a hot busy week for me. Also, I learned that my interview I had with Siemens IT Solution had their contract pulled from them meaning that job no longer exist.
So, what does this week have for me? Well, originally this was going to be a light week. As I only had one appointment this week and that was on Monday. But what I didn’t expect was that one appointment turned into this busy week.
A) Monday, July 27 – I had my one on one session with my Career Advisor from One Stop regarding my qualification into the WIA Program. But before I know if I have qualify there are numerous things I had to gather before our next meeting which is Friday, July 31. From this session, I learned more about how I to apply for AmeriCorps Vista. So, when I went to the library I ended up applying for eight Vista programs. By the time I got back to the house, I had a job interview set for Wednesday, July 29. So, here is what I have to gather for my Career Advisor:
1) Proof of Residence from Cathy here.
2) My birth certificate and social security card
3) Research and fill out a Q&A form about the program certification I want to attend.
4) Have to apply for financial aid.
5) Have to go back three months of my job searching and printout all my correspondence regarding the jobs I have applied for. This is going to take a few days.
B) Tuesday, July 28 – Mainly used this day to gather a lot of my information I need to gather for my Career Advisor, did my research for my certification, and started the printing out of my last three months of my job searching. Plus, had to help Cathy with her test that she had for her job interview she has also on Wednesday, July 29. (Good luck Cathy). As I was doing my stuff, I got a call for yet another job interview that will be on Thursday, July 30. Doing this post is my last thing for me to do on this computer for the night!
C) Wednesday, July 29 – I have a 3:00 pm interview at the Brighton Center for the Recover Northern Kentucky AmeriCorps Vista program. So, I hope the rain will stop by the time I get on the bus around 12:00 pm. Let’s pray that it will! Plus, I will be continuing working on the job searching printout for the last three months and probably start applying for financial aid as well.
D) Thursday, July 30 – I will know more on Wednesday when my interview for the Home Ownership Center of Greater Cincinnati Visa will be on this day. Plus, I will be putting finishing touches on my job searching project for the last three months and financial aid in preparation of my meeting with my Career Advisor on Friday.
E) Friday, July 31 – I have my meeting with my Career Advisor at 9:00 am. I have to present all my stuff that I have gather for her at this meeting. Then it will probably be like a week or so before I will know if I have qualified for the WIA Program.
As you see, what turned out to be a light week for me is turning out to be a very busy week. I’m not complaining but just glad to be doing something that is meaningful and productive. And there is still things I have to do like call the Ohio Food Stamp Office to figure out where my appointment letter is that was turned in over two weeks ago. This weekend will be a much needed rest when it gets here. Anyway, back to my busy week.
