I was made redundant a few weeks ago from the NHS. Was on a decent salary. Have applied for a number of NHS posts but am finding that whatever is about will inevitably result in a fairly large paycut, which I fully understand. I applied for one job which I have been shortlisted for (hurray) at a large local hospital. Part-time only and much lower grade so wages would be around a third of what I was on; also one year contract only. BUT if I was successful and got the post, it would get me into the hospital and perhaps able to move back up the ladder.
Couldnt do the original interview date as we are away on holiday, so they have just rung me to offer an alternative date which I accepted. Couldnt face telling them that I was actually away on this date too (its a spa break for me and best friend which was a present for us from DH). Did warn best friend that I might have to cancel break if interview arose. She works in education so it would be Christmas or next year when we could rearrange.
Soooooo should I cancel our night away and go for the rearranged interview (despite awful salary and 1 year contract only) or should I go back to them and say thanks but no thanks and hang on for (hopefully) something on better money/full time? I have another 5 or 6 applications in but its such a lottery even getting shortlisted.
Any thoughts really appreciated
