It was on fire when I laid down on 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.
