Hmmm....I now have two second interviews coming...
-
Hi All, Regulars will know of employment trouble, I now have two second interviews coming. I feel that while I could do both jobs one is beyond the 'Here Be Monsters' sign very close to the middle of know where, the other is much closer to life but does work in an area which I don't really know (but the employers seem to want to train me!). Any suggestions, Help? Glenn

Two-second interviews ? Like *starts counting* one ... two ... done ? You should be more confident in yourself, I am sure you can last at least five minutes. ;P

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Hope springs eternal, never really been in this situation before :)

Think of the advantages: Middle of nowhere: light traffic means easy commute (except for one week in winter when the snow is deep). You don't have to live next door to your workplace! Area you don't know: provided it's something interesting to you, and they are willing to train (and give you time to get good at it) that's not a problem either - learning is good! :laugh: Approach both with confidence, and an open mind - try to get them both and you can make a decision then. Assume you don't want one of them and what happens if you don't get the other? As you have seen, it's a lot easier to get a job if you already have one... :laugh: Good luck!

Stammer. That should stretch it out to 6 or 8 seconds, easy.

Given a choice, I would take the second offer because learning new things ( and also getting paid) will expand my skillset which will help me in future search

Which was pretty much what I was thinking.

I second OG on this. Do not rule out one of them before interview! You can get both, visit both places and see how you feel about before saying your last word...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V) תפסיק לספר לה' כמה הצרות שלך גדולות, תספר לצרות שלך כמה ה' גדול!

A sparrow's nadger short of f'all! :laugh: I had a second interview yesterday, hopefully I'll get called back later today. This company has FOUR [count 'em] interviews with HR, Project Management, Development / Technical and finally with the MD to discuss the wonga. So I'm either half way in or rising for the fall. [edit] ... and an online technical test for C# and Java. That'll be fun; fun like catching your hand in a closing door.

You don't know Pomps, he can confuse people without looking at them!

I have fallen foul of those things many times. The best I have done was sorting out a C test that suddenly ask you a question on Dephi. Best O' Luck though:thumbsup:

Too late, done it since my last post. 30 questions, allow 45-60 minutes, finished inside 30. Aty a guesstimate I scored 80% +/- 19.36%
Could have been worse: you could have scored 19.36% +/- 80% Good luck - I know what it's like being unemployed, and nobody makes it easy to get back into work...particularly if you are any good and have the record / previous wages to prove it. :sigh:

:doh: One should think it's worse to be bad and have the record / previous wages to prove it
