So I keep my toe on indeed and other employment sites just to keep an eye on what is out there.
My current job is fine, decent salary. Although I'm beginning to feel like I'm way too stressed for what I earn and want to progress. In my field it's almost impossible without a degree so I started studying this year.
So, I came across a job that literally is ME all over. It wants certain experience that pulls my last two jobs together expertly and I fully believe that I'm capable of doing the job even though it's a jump outside of my comfort zone. I've got experience in what they are asking spanning around ten years.
There are no qualification requirements for the job that are listed on the Job Spec.
My questions is - it's offering double my current salary. Exactly double. Surely you can't leap from one job to another and then double your salary?? Is that too much of a jump? Am I too excited about the role that I've just missed something quite pivotal?
Has anyone ever applied for a job where the salary is twice your current earnings and got it? Or am I just setting myself up for disappointment??
I'm going to apply anyway, but I don't want to make myself look stupid! IF I'm successful (big big big IF) we are currently TTC so that will have to go on pause.
Any advice and experience please! I have to write a cover letter with my CV so how can I make that stand out from everyone else.
