NC for this!
I am in the final stages of interview for a job I really want- I don't want to count my chickens but it feels like it's within grasp.
My current job has a contracted 3 month notice period. New job knows this, but have suggested they would (obviously) prefer me sooner. I have never negotiated a shorter notice period before having always worked jobs with a 1 month notice period.
Does anyone have any advice? I am responsible for recruitment in my current role so am confident that with the procedures we have in place and the sort of job I do we'd be able to recruit fairly quickly. In an ideal world my work would let me go after 6 weeks, which I appreciate they're under no obligation to do.
Also- the last interview is tomorrow afternoon and I am on leave all next week, so it's very likely if I'm offered it then it'll be while I'm away. As I want to get the ball rolling on the above, would it be considered bad form to call my boss from my leave? I'm not going abroad but I will be away in the UK, but I don't want to waste a week if I don't have to.
Are there any tips for how I should approach all this??? Thanks in advance!
