I Was Offered A Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO yeah I was offered a job at a VERY WELL KNOWN company in downtown boston that would pay $24/ hour for forty hours a week (50K a year, 8k more then I was making) but it is a temp-to-perm thing to make sure it is a good fit for me and a good fit for the company, if all goes well they will make me permenant and my salary then would be 55k-60k range...so I will be WORKING MY ASS off for the next 1-3 months...but it would be totally worth it since if I got hired my career growth and the path I could take would be UNBELIVABLE...so lets hope for the best...!

Deavan-I know you live in the Boston area, as do I. Do you mind me asking if you went through a temp agecny to get this job and if so which one? Also, what type of company will you be working for? I am looking for a new job, I am currently in non profit. Thanks!
