I went to the police station to renew my driver's license last February 20.
On the way, I saw a want ad on bulletin boards seeking licenced caregivers or caregiver trainees. The ad was posted by the group company where I had earned my care giver trainee licence two years ago.
The ad was impressive to me so I called one of their offices in my neigborhood and asked if they were also looking for licenced caregivers or trainees. They said yes, and asked if I was interested in having a job interview. I didn't know if I could do well in that position but I was curious about it so I asked them to set up an interview with me as soon as possible.
I went to the interview the following week, and talked about the job in details. I was very happy when I was informed that I was hired the very next day. I was also told that I needed to submit two pictures, my blood test result, and my residential document for the employment.
Therefore, I went to a studio to have my picture taken, a hospital for the blood test, and a city office for my residential certification. It took me a whole week to prepare all of them.
The next week I called the office and I had a meeting for my new job. I told them I can work at individual elderly houses within a range of 15-minute bike ride from my place. I would like to work no longer than 4 hours a day. Then, they provided me some work assignment.
I started working for them on March 13.
Today, March 20, is the day after a month has passed since I found the ad. I am planning to go to the police station today to pick up my renewed driver's licence.
My daily schedule has begun changing. Hopefully, I am expecting more jobs in a few weeks.
It seems challenging, but I think working for elderly people who need daily help would be something very valuable.
For example, one of my male patients who lives alone has a problem with his right hand. He has some troubles in cooking, folding his clothes, and cleaning his apartment. He asks us many things because we only pay him a visit one hour thrice a week.
I would like to offer some of my spare time for daily work for elderly people in my neighborhood through working.
I'm a 50-year-old housewife living in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, Western part of Japan. I'm on my menopausal stage, and I am prone to having serious diseases. I quit my work in 2014, and I have been relaxing at home these days. I want to polish my English skills by writing this blog.
Recent Updates
I quit RareJob lessons at the end of August, 2016. It was my 3rd anniversary of taking lessons. I thought it was enough because I am getting older and I don't expect any job opportunity with English related. We don't have any foreign neigbors in the countryside.
I have already uploaded many pictures up to now. I feel it takes me quite a lot of time to upload another pictures, so I started writing another diary.
