I do not mind the input at all, in fact I really appreciate it. Thank you! Just to clarify, your work full time for the last 8 years, has it been in relation to social work or in the community in anyway?? If so, could you give me any suggestions on where to look? I am also filling out volunteer applications to keep my resume updated in case I do not get into the MSW program, my resume will continue to flourish when I apply next year. Other than that, I am applying for a whole bunch of other random positions. lol. Really just doing this as a back up to be safe, but deep down inside - of course - I am hoping to continue my studies for another two years
