Got me a job !
Well as the title says...........I've been offered a job
. They are keeping the job for me until Feb (when the kids go back to school).
BUT...........I feel bad because I'm going to apply for another post.
A post has been advertised in the area I worked in for the last 7 years and looks right up my street - its a new service and they won't need me to start until Feb time either.
I don't want to let them know incase they withdraw the offer, in any case I may not get the new job. I ought to be honest but my deviant nature gets the better of me
Guilt is a dreadful thing

Re: Got me a job !
Congratulations!
I'd wait until you've got a definate offer for the new job and then tell the other company you don't want it.
I'm sure they would be able to find someone by Feb.
Good luck,
Tracey
PS what's it doing?

Go for what you're interested in, but don't be afraid to have a change either. The challenge could be worth it.

Good luck anyway with whatever you decide.
