I'm interviewing for a job today, with shifts working out as either
10am-4pm
10am-10pm
12pm-4pm
12pm-10pm
4pm-10pm
The plan originally was to work three 4pm starts and then have 1 4pm finish on the day my child is booked into nursery. But my partner then had to find another job due to transport and he now won't be getting home until 5:30pm ish. All good we thought we'll just book her into nursery to cover the gap in between.
However this morning I've received a generic email sent to all parents that there is no more space in the room she's in from March onwards so no changes to bookings can be made.
Another option for this job would be to start at 10/12 and finish at 10pm twice a week (nursery day already booked and one day at the weekend) then work the other weekend evening after working at my other job that morning.
My issue with the long days would be I've worked here before, and know I'm not good at regularly doing these shifts when I'm not sleep deprived, so with looking after a baby when I'm not at work and being up late with her most nights I can't see myself actually being any good at my job. I was actually banned from working these long shifts for a long time because of how much I struggle.
My other worry is if my partner is out all day during the week, and I'm out all weekend, we won't see each other and we won't be able to do anything as a family.
My interview is midday today, should I just cancel because I can't see a way it will work? Or maybe someone can think of a way it can work?
