Answer to Prayer

For those of you that have not heard, my hard work at searching for a job has finally paid off! I have finally got a job working at Unum in Chattanooga (www.unum.com). Unum is one of the world's leading employee benefits provider. They are an insurance company that helps employees who become injured or sick. Thanks to Kelly Services (www.kellyservices.com) in Chattanooga, I was able to be employed with Unum. For those who think that I'll just be there temporarily, don't worry. Unum talked with me and said that more than likely, I will be hired full-time through Unum without Kelly Services after 90 days. I am very thrilled to get to work in something that I like to do! I will be a Medical Records Operator. Basically, I will contact Unum's medical clients and update, verify, and record new data in their Access database while maintaining the databases. I will start this posistion on August 6th at 8:00 a.m.! I'll work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and I'll get to work in my own little cubical on the third floor on the east building hahahaha. Oh, the dress is even casual!

Let me tell you about the physical place which is what struck me when I first saw it. It is A-MA-ZING! I said I'll be in the east building. They have two buildings: east and (yep) west buildings. They are across from each other. The east building is where most of the actual work, tasks, and assignments will be given and performed. While this building is really really beautiful looking on the inside, the west building is fantastic and could be considered the playground for Unum's employees. The west building has a really nice looking cafeteria inside where you can get your breakfast or lunch. They also have a Starbucks inside the main part of the cafeteria! I'll defenitely be getting some of that! There's a 100" (at least) screen in the cafeteria that you can watch while you eat. They leave it on CNN news which is o.k. I guess. They then have a gym in the lower floor for the Unum employees to go and workout in. Makes me want to go to work early! I just can't believe that there are really places to work that are like this.

When I had my interview with Brian and Adam, they provided an atmosphere that was really laid back and made it really easy to talk to them. They mentioned that with my degree in Computer Information Technology, I will probably even get to move up into their IT department one day in the future. That sounds good to me! I'm just so thankful that God provided me with such a wonderful place to work at. He's answered my prayer and then some! Thank you everyone for your support and prayers too! I'll try to keep you updated when I remember to blog again!
