Positive Energy and Thoughts needed...

so i received funky news today from work. Apparently, the Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP) that i am under has been suspended. Good news is that i am grandfathered in so i still have a job (for now), bad news is that come February, the office here has to get creative if they want to hire me. But i know for a fact that their budget is not where they would like it to be, so it might not happen at all. Kinda had me worried for a little bit.
i started to browse through idealist.org, which is like a dreamers job bank, and came upon this position with the Vera Institute of Justice. I love this organization because of all the good and positive work they do for an assortment of communities across the US. The position is for a Program Associate for their Center on Immigration and Justice!!! I am sure they don't know this, but I am PERFECT for this position.
Vera's Center on Immigration Justice seeks a Program Associate to work primarily on two federally-funded projects that aim to improve police-immigrant relations through researching promising practices and trainings. Vera has a long history of collaboration with law enforcement to improve policing practices and service. Vera is widely acknowledged as one of a few national experts on police-immigrant relations. Its work positions it at the forefront of the policing field's growing interest in police-immigrant relations. The Program Associate will have a key role in currently funded projects, as well as in developing future projects.
Amazing right? All they need is someone with a JD like myself, and they are looking for someone who understands immigration law, criminal law, juvenile law and especially U-visas!!
So... i threw my name in the hat, because i believe i am worth their time and would be a valuable and enthusiastic asset for their organization. The hubbs has his dream job, now i want mine. This is where you come in. i am sending out all the energy in the world and into the universe so that it knows that i want this job badly! i need it badly! Can you please send me some of your good juju and positive energy so that this can maybe become a reality. i would surely appreciate it. ;)
Thanks all!
