I haven't yet told my husband that I'm applying for a position that MAY involve meeting people at the hospital or police station. It may not come to that - when I did my phone interview, this was one of the positions we discussed, and the coordinator did seem to think that I'd be suited for it, and there's a need, but during the interview, based on what she finds out, and what I find out about security and the job details, I may end up in another position.

I do know that my husband will NOT want me working in some capacity that's dangerous. So I'm going to go interview first, get the facts, and make up my mind about how I feel about the risks (if there are any) before I tell him about the specifics. I respect his input and I won't do something that he's definitely opposed to - but I also don't want him forming an opinion about the position before I know more about it.

I recently applied for a position as a rape/family violence counselor at a local women's shelter. It's a volunteer position, but does require some in depth screening and training.

I would be on call to meet with women when they show up in the ER or at the police station reporting an act of violence against them. I would be a community liaison to intercede for them before they retreat emotionally and begin to lose perspective of their situation and their options.

I just sent in my application and am waiting for them to do a background check on me. If I pass this (which I should!) then I'll be interviewed - and I am sure that I will do fine in the interview - so I'm waiting eagerly for the call.

I've done some of this sort of work before, but never at this level - this close to the event. I'm a little nervous about it but the chance to make such a huge difference in someone's life at such a critical junction is very interesting to me.

I really hope I get the job.

Has anyone here done anything like that in the past, or had any sort of experience with that sort of work or situation? If you have any insight, I'd love to hear from you.
No. But I would like to wish you good luck. Good luck .

My main anxiety, though, was not knowing what to say. That turned out not to be a very big problem when I figured out how to just listen until they were talked out, then offer sympathy and / or affirmation.
What can you say,its tough,for some of them just having someone listening is a step in the right direction.
