Interview - not sure I want the job but in a rut in my own.

I have an interview with a guy I used to work for. Just need to make sure I can work with this other guy. It is a promotion, salary (to be negotiated - but not moving for a small rise due to the amount of responsibility and travelling involved ie probably stateside at least twice a month). Building up a team from next to nothing in a new area for a company. So lots of pressure as they'll be expecting to start making money probably pretty soon after they start employing folk............ I am not too happy in my current role but it pays reasonably well, things are improving but still doing too much of the same thing and I'm not sure how far promotion is away (will sound this out if I get this job - I won't tell them I've been offered something else if I get it - but it'll give me the 'courage' to ask especially as someone the next level up has just handed in her resignation). The other thing is the flexibility - I have 3 children 5 (youngest 15 months) and under and i do 5 days in 4 - but I am bored and feel a bit stuck in a rut. But they are so good if kids are unwell etc and my current role is lifting the ban on external training. I just have a nagging doubt this new role is not right for me at this time though. My husband says I should just go and see what they're up to and they have given me another chance for interview despite the fact I had to cancel the other F2F I was due to have last week. I suppose nothing venture nothing gained... but why do I have these doubts?

Just FYI - I get on well with current head of dept but I also see how personally she is taking the resignations we are getting! In fact, she's being down right unprofessional and 'ignoring' those who have done so ... I'd have a 3 month notice period. Agh!

I'm with your husband - go to the interview.

Remember interviews are two-way things - what would make it a good move for you? You need to have some idea of that in your mind and then ask questions that can help clarify that.
