Hello,
I am just finishing a temporary employment contract and am about to start a five-month fixed term contract on Monday.
However I have just been offered an interview for a permanent position that I have had my eye on for some time, taking place this week.
I have decided to go to the interview. I am not sure if I have done the right thing though. If I am successful in this interview, and it all looks good and I accept, I will have to tell the employers I am due to start with next week that I will not be joining them after all.
I really do not want to do this. It has taken a while for them to get references from my current employer, they've been waiting a while to recruit someone and I don't want to mess them around. I have received a conditional offer from them, but not an unconditional one as yet.
On the other hand, I have been looking for permanent work for some years now and the post I am being interviewed for looks like too good an opportunity to pass up.
I know I am jumping the gun a bit as I don't know if I have got the job at this stage, but if I am successful, should I take it? Has anyone else been in this situation? Interested in perspectives of both employee and employer.
Thank you!
