I was employed as a temp in Claims processing; the permanent position was opened and advertised on the HCSC website; I applied and was interviewed; offer accepted for the permanent position in that department. The COBRA processor position came open a month later; they waived the normal 9 month rule and we were allowed to apply for that position. I was offered the job and I accepted. The culture of Diversity that HCSC employs is amazing, and I have been blessed to move up as quickly as I have. A word to those in temp positions: DON'T GIVE UP! Your time may come. The benefits are AMAZING!
