Posting here for traffic. Please be kind, I’m already down.
It is my dream job, going back to the level I was pre children (it has taken me 12,years of junior jobs to get here after taking time off after maternity leave. It is a managing position for plenty of scope for process optimisation (my strength) BUT I need to have knowledge of certain legislations I don’t know about. They must know I don’t have it as not mentioned in CV or application questions. I am required to do an hour presentation during interview of a topic that will be given to me on arrival.
Cons: My health is not good, I have been going through assessments for cancer for 3 months and although I had some positive news yesterday. I feel drained and not in the frame of mind to be able to concentrate properly. My stress levels are so high I have developed eczema, I don’t feel strong to take in such a big challenge.
I have a job that I love, that is also VERY stressful but I have done it for a few years and it has become too easy. I’m getting a bit bored and in need of a new scene.
New job would pay 20% more BUT, if I don’t do it well I may find myself unemployed in 6 months at the end of the probation period.
I am a divorced mum with single care of my son, no family around, just me and the amazing sprout who is a good teen but who I need to send to uni in a couple of years... on my own.
Would you go to the interview?
