A little background: while 8 months pregnant I lost my job for my first and only mistake. I was inline for promotion and everything, so my coworkers (and immediate supervisor) thinks it had to do with my pregnancy since I never even had so much as a verbal warning. It really killed my confidence in my ability to do my job (I am a substance abuse counselor). My former supervisor and coworkers all have offered to be references as well.

So yesterday I decided to start applying for part time positions at 3pm because the longer I'm out of work the harder it will be for me to want to go back. My partner can absolutely afford for me to be a SAHM, but agrees it would be good for my sanity if I just do something. By 9am this morning 2 of the 7 jobs have scheduled interviews.

It seems silly but my confidence just got a huge boost, I kept feeling like no one would hire me....

I keep forgetting my experience and job history speak for itself and my last job was a toxic place (their turn over was insane to the point at my 6 month mark there... I was the second most senior counselor)
