Hi,
Would be really grateful to hear what people think I should do. I'm a loss for future moves.
Job seeking this time hasn't been easy due to my job hopper of a CV, I'm sorry I've been frustrated and recognise I've made deeply terrible choices in the past and realise how bad my situation has been, when with a decade of hotel work on my CV at least, I still could not get an interview for a 3 month contract hotel job recently. I did get one job offer but it was miles away and morally I had done something wrong in my application which I just couldn't bring myself to confess, I felt I couldn't go through with it and learnt to be more up front going forward, but it has been putting employers off understandably.
My situation.
Picked up an immediate start job with a bit of a 'bad/wide boy company' had the interview end of working day yesterday and started this morning! I wish I could have gone along and said I hated it, but turns out it is quite an education, people seem so much friendly then the last unofficial/not recorded job I tried and phones ringing off the hook so, so busy. 😀Sadly (whilst a little outing but the folk at this company don't appear to be mumsnet readers!!) I was told at interview they are moving from Colchester to Clacton on Sea in the summer, which takes them a real distance away as Colchester isn't my home town to start with and I just can't see me managing this move further out on 18k. (I also wondered if there was scope for them to drop me as they change location. In the summer of 2022 would I have a better excuse to be job hunting rather then I had been in these times?)
This has also coincided with a local recruitment agency managing to secure me around a 3 week temporary assignment with a local company 10 mins drive away to start in a week's time, which I'd feel really bad for having to turn down when they got me work with no interview and pretty darn quick too.
I've also become aware the high-turnover company I'd left who I managed an ok and felt settled 3 months with and didn't leave badly, are back recruiting for July starts so I had wondered about trying to keep with either of the above opportunities and swallow my pride and ask if they would consider a re-application from me. (whilst the manager who originally recruited me has gone and risky I appreciate as I was not deemed to pass their probation but I'd felt so desperate I think I would swallow any pride) and wonder if either of the above could help in some way keeping going if they said I could return in July.
wwyd. (please) I don't know what to do for the best.
