I Got The Job

[KP the nut]

I have a job interview tomorrow. It is only for 9 hours each week. I stand an excellent chance of being offered the post which is great but nothing is ever for certain.

I really need to work full time, basically we need the money :rolleyes:. I only need to work full time for the next 5 years and then H and I will be completely debt free. It is hard but we are getting there.

I have also sent an application for a full time post doing a job similar to my last. It is working in a field I am passionate about and in which I am one of the best. It tends to be interviews which screw me, I get so anxious and tongue tied I end up talking crap.

My slight dilema is, if I am offered this p/t post do I accept. I know I should accept but I'd then feel guilty about letting the organisation down. It is a charity and the one for which I work as a voluntary driver. I may not even get an interview for the f/t post. And any money is better than the unemployment benefit although in this case it would only be £10 more, but it would keep my skills up and get me out of the house.

I'd hate to mess them around but maybe I need to toughen up and do what is right for me. Accept the post if it is offered and look for another job either another p/t in which I could work both or a f/t job and resign from this.

Putting it in writing does seem to have it clearer in my mind.

Still feeling calm, not the panic I usually feel. Now I'm panicking that I am not panicking :confused:

Whatever you decide:

KP, you can do it.
You could always quit later if necessary but...
(you may find you really enjoy it :):tup:)

-Whatever you choose will be 'right'-

Damn and blast it all to hell. Why when I am trying to stay calm do I get badly triggered by 2 ambulances and an emergercy response vehicle racing up light and sirens blaring and then having them park up behind me. They are all I could see when I left the car, damn, damn, damn.

Breathe, I must breath, need to leave in 10 minutes. :sick:

Good luck, KP! My heart is with you!

OK interview finished. Relief. I answered the questions, but I am not good at bigging myself up. I think I said the right things but who knows. The job has also changed with more hours, this is not a problem as I need more hours, more hours = more money.

I'm not hopeful (but that is how I am) as they said there is a strong field of 10. I should know by the end of the week. At least I did it.

I am glad you got through it and will be waiting to hear the results. I truly wish you the best with it!:)

Hi KP

You got an interview which is great in itself. I will keep my fingers crossed that you are successful.

There is a lot of competition for jobs right now but there will be other opportunities if this doesn't come through. If you've been off work for a while, I can give you some tips on job applications/interview techniques if you want to pm me.

Hoping you find the right job for yourself.

Sorry I'm late KP. Very proud of you for going to the interview and keeping yourself calm before hand. If nothing the experience will be good for you. Wishing you every success.
