I work for the VA in the pharmacy call center and I have a BS in Psychology. I went to school with the intention of going into substance abuse counseling but unfortunately getting a CSAC is a bit of a catch 22. I need hours of practice with supervision to get the license but I can’t find a job doing it without the license.

I need ideas on anything I can learn or get certified in during the down time. I have generally around 5 minutes between each call and our time is tracked so I know at the end of each day I’m averaging about 3 hours of downtime.

I worked for a county government previously and that was the case. 1 year as probationary then 5 years for pension so it was really 6 for pension if you were unlucky and got in one of those positions.

That was Tuesday morning. I’m still waiting.

This is for an offer from the VA.

Why are people so slow?
