I'll try to keep this brief and hope it makes sense! Have namechanged just in case it is recognisable.
I work for a local authority and I am on a temporary contract so have been looking for other jobs. Meanwhile, the LA has appointed a firm of consultants to work on a project which is a major focus of the work in my temp role.
I applied for a job that was advertised at the consultancy firm and have an interview at the end of the month. But before that, the LA is holding a project meeting. One of the consultants who will very likely be interviewing me will be there. If I got the job, I would be working on the project from the other side, as it were.
So is it a conflict of interest for me to attend the meeting? Should I pull out? I'm going to seek advice from a senior colleague tomorrow but it would be good to get opinions. I just assumed it would be OK for me to carry on as normal, but just all of a sudden thought, hang on, maybe this is not all right...!
