Living life as a college student can make you feel like you live in a perpetual fantasy realm and are not part of the "real world" at all. I've always felt that I would not be a "real" adult until I had my first, real job. Although I've worked full-time before, it was never at a place I would seriously consider for a career. I mean, "Sandwich Artist" and "Collections Agent" aren't exactly what I envisioned on my business cards.
Well, how does "Auditor Evaluator" sound? That's right, ladies and gentlemen, this college puppet has secured not just a job, but a career.
I received the job offer on February 1st, which was the end of a process that began in October and involved two oral exams, one written exam, and one on-site interview. I had my final interview with the Bureau of State Audits on January 27th, but had to temper my hopes with the knowledge that for each position they fill, they interview 30-40 candidates.
Well, a few hold-your-breath days later, I heard the great news. I will begin my real adult life on June 1, 2009, and will be working at this lovely building in Downtown Sacramento:
This is a fantastic opportunity, and I know that I will love the work. I'm so relieved and grateful to have secured a job well before graduation, especially in this economy. However, it is difficult to stay focused for the remaining weeks of the semester!
Michael and I are thrilled to be officially moving to California. Now if we can just get the state budget balanced...

Hey congrats on the job. John tells me that I've never invited you to my blog. And today when i tried I realized that I don't have an e-mail address for either of you so send me one and I'll send you and invite.
Good job, Sarah! What a lot of hard work.
I've never thought of you as the Pinocchio type. I mean NO ONE could ever pull your strings. If anything, you were always pulling our strings. Anyway, we are really proud of your accomplishments and are excited to have you moving closer to home!
