I am in a fixed term job with a year remaining. I don't want to leave my employers in the shit. However, I have seen an advert for a permanent job, same pay that is close to home and I would stand a very good chance of getting. The interview date is right in the middle of 3 days of training which is very important to me (I paid a lot of money for it) and requires 8 weeks notice to change penalty free. We are much, much less than 8 weeks away from this date.
My original plan was to a. hope that something will come out of this temp job (no promises there though) and b. try to get a job in a different area near the end of the fixed term. (I have had an interview for a job in a different area and they said I smashed the interview, but was truly beaten by others with far more experience. These jobs don't come up too often as there aren't too many of them in my area or a commutable area.)
My options are now I suppose to a) let the job opportunity pass, you never know what else will happen in a year. b) try to beg half a day out of the training to travel to the interview and try to attend the half day another time. Loooong shot.
Someone tell me what to do.
