So this is the first time that this has happened to me. I have, in my pocket, a chance of two jobs. Actually, one has career potential, and the other is a step towards having, Mon. - Fri. & Weekend's off, hours. The pay is adequate, but I don't foresee fulltime status anytime soon. The other "career oriented" place comes in the shape of a second interview. I've never had one of these before so I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I was warned that if I got a call back, I would be meeting with the head-honchoes. It's a fulltime position with benefits, but it's out of town and the comute would suck eggs. I'm supposed to give my two weeks notice tomorrow for the parttime job. My interview for the fulltime job is Thursday. Should I let the parttime job people know that there may be no need to hire me or should I play coy? I don't want to start a position where, if things go well during my interview, I'll just have to leave two weeks after I start. Talk about a self-esteem boost. I have two places that actually are interested in me. I have my doubts about things, though. I'm anxious about things, as well. Which would be the most prestigious? Which would bring me more money? Which, if failed, would cost me a lot? Which, if suceeding, would bring me more? I'm scared, not about the jobs, although I am kind of aprehensive, but about the change. I don't know if it's for the better or for the worst. I can't see the future and that is scary. Most people would say this is a weakness, but I see it as cautionary. There is always the possibility for failure and as long as you can see this, you can steer away from it. I like knowing everything about where I'm getting my self into. It's not all exciting and different. At least, it shouldn't be all about excitment. I'll be expected to be grown-up (if the interview goes well). I'll be given a tremendous burden to carry without remorse, expecting me to be mature about it. Can I be this person? Can I be what needs to be in order to get things done? Things happen for a reason. My time at St. Thomas was supposed to teach me to teach. I was focused on teaching. Neither position is a teaching position. They are something other. What happens. I guess we'll see!
