Starting a New Job
Ok after my restaurant job I started working at an OMRDD Called North Star Industries in Saranac Lake, NY. While I was there I have been doing assistant Social work duties And Day Treatment Aid Work... I have been working in this Industry for about 4 1/2 Months now I found that through my experience working with People with mental disabilities is something that I want to do. 3 months before I started working at North Star Industries, I applied to work at Sunmount DDSO here in Tupper Lake, Ny... Which is an Developmental Disabilities Service Office.. When I filed the Application they said it may take up to six months for them to contact me... That was too long so I had applied for North Star Industries in Saranac Lake which is a private Institution for mentally disabled people. 3 months after I have this Job I receive a letter in the mail stating for me to come in for an interview from Sunmount DDSO...(Sunmount DDSO is state Organized)...so I made an appointment, had the interview, took the civil service test, took my finger prints, then had a physical and got hired... The civil service test was long... I wouldn't say hard... or anything anyone would have to study for... if your atleast half way normal anyone would pass it. there are two parts to the test.. Phsyc test where there are only true or false questions and a physical fitness test where you have to perform certain tasks in a certain amount of time. So my last day at North Star Industries is on 4/25/07 . can't wait to start making more money I am going to be making double the amount I am making now... when I start on 4/26/07 for Sunmount I will be taking classes for 5 weeks then on the 6th week I will receive my first paycheck... they hold 2 paychecks back for some reason. Don't know why... I guess it's a state thing.. There was a fire drill at North Star today we had a little problem with one of the clients because as she was being lifted in electric hoyer EZ Lift... The drill went off... and the HAB CORD is asking me what I think she should do... because she wants to get the client out ASAP... I said well you only can do what you can do she has to be in her wheel chair when she is brought out in a fire drill... and she agreed. I will keep you posted on how things go within the next couple of days .
