As the title says really -
interviewed for my dream job last week, and was called last night saying I was an ideal candidate and that I was more than appoint-able, but there was someone else with a little more experience than me who scored the same as me who they had to offer the post to first - but he’s unsure if he wants it.
it’s a very niche role offering services at a regional level (south east based)
not only is it my dream job, in terms of the work I’d be undertaking. Ita a raise and would allow me to leave H, who has a bit of a temper and I’d love to be able to buy him out the house. The seniority would also mean Monday to Friday working, and weekends and bank holidays at home for DD, ability to take AL in school hols, and the ability to work a bit more flexibly to attend school events which I don’t currently have
it would absolutely change my life.
the chap has until Friday midday to make up his mind and they’ll get back to me at 1400 on Friday.

wibu to ask for any support or well wishes that would hopefully lead to the chap getting a better offer or realising this job isn’t for him!

thanks for listening to my ramble

ShipshapeShore · 23/09/2025 21:37

Oh yes I'm sending out vibes! I'm putting in an application for my dream job tomorrow. Sorry that you need it to be able to leave your H though, sounds tough.

AndSheDid · 23/09/2025 21:55

Sending the vibes to make him think he’s not interested..

GingerPaste · 23/09/2025 22:06

Good luck 😃

Purplecatshopaholic · 23/09/2025 22:10

Aww I really hope you get it. If it’s for you it won’t go by you, and all that. Fingers crossed - do let us know.

Marble10 · 23/09/2025 22:45

Ahh good luck. 🤞🏼 it seems to mean a lot more to you than just a job. Hoping it comes through for you.
I wasn’t first choice for my job, same thing really, no reason other than someone who had a bit more experience in the industry. They were very honest said nothing bad to say other than someone slightly more experienced. I was gutted as I really wanted it! That was 2 yrs ago now. I had a feeling… and on the Friday I got a call being offered it as other person had declined.

B1anche · 23/09/2025 22:50

Sending positive vibes. Good luck! 🍀

noideawhat · 23/09/2025 22:52

Taurielwasntinthebook · 23/09/2025 22:59

Good luck OP… sending good luck vibes aplenty…. Please send them right back to me too as I’m in a similar boat! And also been having the ‘you were perfect but someone just scored slightly higher’ feedback.
The right job is waiting for us!

TickyBooo · 23/09/2025 23:03

Fingers crossed for you

reversegear · 23/09/2025 23:29

Ohhh as a witch!! Apparently I’ve got you the job… also how rude to let him decide it should be the interviewer that decided…

Pineapplepie · 24/09/2025 14:59
