My resume and bio are now in the hands of our placement director, it is all a matter of time when I will start to interview. Every week Lynnw comes to class telling us about new perspective families wanting a nanny ASAP, or as the office likes to say "They wanted a nanny yesterday!" The school is our employment source with 90% placement. Even alumni come back after leaving a family looking for another.
Lynne gives us many characteristics of the children as well as the parents and what they are looking for in a nanny or a governess. ( A governess and nanny are the same thing, however a governess has some sort of college degree whether it be accounting, art, education, etc.) I have showed interest in a few Ohio families, as well as some in Virgina, New York, and the Carolina's. Nothing popping up in North Cal, sorry FAVORITES! However I am keeping a very open mind with where I may end up come 2012. But then again I have to if I want a job!
When we started working on our resume and bio it was probably the first week of school. It completely blindsided me only because I had no idea how fast this process was going to move. I consulted with many of my friends (via mass text to some lovely ladies) on what makes me, me. Shockingly enough they all said I was very social. (WHAT? ME SOCIAL?!? haha) I was very lucky to have a resume specialist come in and teach us about what perspective employers are looking for. When things were all said and done, I have to say mine looks pretty fabulous!
