Something Positive

[KillerGremlin]

I rocked my exam to begin practice Intake/Life History interviews.

I basically had to memorize all the client confidentiality, suicide assessment, dangerousness risk assessment, and basic 101s of doing an intake interview. I'm actually pretty psyched because next semester I should be starting up my internship doing actual supervised work in the field.

I'm totally psyched for counseling...research...not so much. lol, but that's what all the university's want these days.

Oddly, my job didn't really do anything like that until a few months ago, we had to go to a training for it.

Though client confidentiality should be easy. Suicide assessments are difficult.

I also think that the danger scale is odd at times, but I think only because of the criteria. (Being a greater risk if been raped/sexual abused) and the likes.

Im about 8 weeks from graduating and I already have a company interested in me. As part of our program, we have to take a 6 week work practicum.
this company wasnt going to take a student at all initially, but after meeting with 2 employees and having a mini-interview they are willing to offer me a practicum there. As of this morning I hadnt accepted, because i was weighing my options from another company that was interested in me. When i arrived today, my program head told me that they had phoned him multiple times inquiring about me, and they had already gone to their union and gotten a special permission for me to be able to work there for 6 weeks. needless to say this is about more than just a practicum, and i accepted. This is a very well off company that has moved into a new automated, and green facility, and they have an excellent reputation. They have been around since 1928 and are in their 3rd generation of family ownership.

Here is there website incase any of you were curious.

So today was my first day of the practicum. My overall impressions are extremely positive, they have a brand new facility that is uber nice, and very impressive. Everyone i met is very nice and open.

But the main thing was their production operation which is very organized and streamlined. To top it off they have a printing press that is probably the most modern and advanced ive ever seen. They can print amazing quality at very high speeds (which is almost unheard of).

By the sounds of things, there is a good chance that this could lead into employment, which would be outstanding.
