AIBU to consider cancelling interview for my dream job?

[TinselAngel]

I've got an interview on Wednesday for a temporary job which if I got it I would take as a secondment from my current employer. It would give me more experience in the field I want to develop into. I need to earn more money in the long term as I am a single parent and won't get money from my ex for ever.

It's around a 90 minute commute away in a large city, and it's full time. It would also involve regular travel further north than that. I currently work 20 mins from home in a low paid, but flexible, admin role. If I got it it would involve my 13 year old DD being a bit of a latch key kid for six months.

I split up with my partner over the weekend and can barely put one foot in front of the other right now. I'm pretty much on my knees with sadness. I'd have to do a presentation as well as an interview.

AIBU to consider cancelling an interview for the right job, but at completely the wrong time. Or would i just be using this as an excuse to stay in my comfort zone?

Good luck OP! You’ve got the power of Mumsnet behind you.

I'm at the Station, it's raining sideways, and the train will get in two hours before I need it to. So there will be plenty of time to have breakfast / mentally practice my presentation.

Good luck!

Good luck OP 🙂

Just caught up with this - you can do it, we’re all there with you, and have everything crossed!

Best of luck for today OP 💐

Good luck!

Yay good girl!
Go for it!!
Whatever the outcome you should be so proud of yourself for getting up and out and giving it your best shot

Good luck!!

It's so early /dark, an actual bat just flew past. I hate bats. 😬

Good luck! I’m excited for you

Good luck x

Bats are lucky, it's a good sign 😄
I'm sure you'll do great, we're all rooting for you.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Good luck OP. I'm sure bats are a lucky omen I may have just made that up

Good for you Op. You can totally get this!

Hahaha or maybe not!

Just heard the dawn chorus before I got on the train. So that was quite nice.

Good luck 🍀 stand tall and remember to breathe.
'She believed she could, so she did'

Good luck! You could even do some breathing/visualisation exercises on the train to relax.

Yay you are going! Good luck!!!

Let's hope my daughter manages to get herself to school!

Go for it. A 13yo will be fine (assuming no SEN issue).

This is your chance to move on for you and your child and for you to move into an area of work you will enjoy. Good luck with the interview.
