After sending (and sending) my resume out last week- I finally get a "come for an interview call". There's just one itty bitty problem. The lady doesn't speak very good English. Is there a reason nothing is ever easy? I toss and turn Monday night wondering "should I cancel? Should I go?" I finally end up going to the interview on Tuesday. (Chuckle) I'm unemployed- its not like I have a lot to do.
Turns out its an OK place and an OK job. Pay is good. Close to home. The hours super suck. 9-6?? Who works 9- 6? What decade are we living in? And the job duties are borderline. Lady X says that she is interviewing all week and will short list on Friday. Then the CEO guy from their HO will call and have a 2nd interview.
Later that night as I settle onto the couch with the cat the phone rings - its the guy from their HO. WTF?? That was fast. He seems like a nice man. He mentioned that the company does have flex time, but it is up to the manager to OK it first. There's hope.
Fast forward to Friday. The call comes- its an offer!! Yippee!! I'm saved!! No more unemployed days!! Hurray!! But wait- Lady X is not open to flex time. The hours remain 9-6. Stupidly - I accepted. Now as the weekend passes I feel like I've made a mistake. The last thing I want is another 6 month suck ass job on my resume. So I have decided to call them Monday and decline. GASP!! Its like a starving person turning down a meal. But I know me and I know I would HATE those hours. I know I'd work there a month then have to start the search all over again. It hasn't been an easy decision to make. A new job should excite me and not fill me with dread. I doubt Lady X will change her mind when I call and decline her offer. I am 99% sure they'll move onto their 2nd choice. I'll keep you posted but don't hold your breath
