But it just doesn?t sit right, she is constantly talking about changing my role and I find it all too unnerving and uncomfortable. Yes I accept that job roles changes and you do naturally take on other tasks along the way but let me do the job I applied for a little while at least. Apologies for the waffle, my question is I have an interview coming up how do I explain wanting to move after such a short space of time??
The post I have an interview is more hours but I really don?t want to cock it up!!!
