Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Good morning Ladies. I need a little pep talk, reassurance, ideas, something... I have been a LLL Leader for 4 years and IBCLC for 2 years. I have a very small, sporadic private practice. I have not done much networking with doctors in the area yet and am not as busy as I would like to be. My plan has been that starting after the holidays I would really get working on getting more business. My husband works full time, and has a side business. We could really use additional income so I recently applied for a job, and have an interview this afternoon. The job is for a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor with WIC. I have very mixed feelings about this. It would be a steady income, and I would be helping mothers and babies. The position is full-time and I really don't want to work full time. Our kids are just 5 and 7 in half day kindergarten and 2nd grade. Also, it doesn't pay as much as I feel I am worth. Certification-wise, I am WAY overqualified for this position, and I am afraid I would have a hard time working within constraints of a peer counselor after my private practice experience. Part of me hoped that they wouldn't even call me because I am overqualified. Now, if the position were part time I would be jumping up and down. I would love to work with WIC. I have an interest in continuing education, possibly in nutrition and would be able to move up in the ranks. I am afraid my ambivalence will come through in the interview.
