Should I apply?

[lorisparkle]

I have seen a job that I would like and I am not that happy in my current job. It is more money, closer to home and in a sector I love however there are a number of challenges

1.the job is advertised as fixed term (but my plan was to ask about this if I got an interview)

2.taking the job might cause a break in service so I would lose out if I was sick long term or was made redundant (again I was going to check this at interview)

1. I currently work 4 1/2 days (with 4 days in person and the 1/2 day at home (again I was going to ask about this at interview)

1. The start date is impossible (but again something I was going to ask about at interview!)

However I have now seen that the interview date is the day my DH is in hospital and on day 2 of a paid for driving course that I am completing with DS.

So should I still apply and see if I can do a different interview day (although the course is for 5 days) or should I just accept that there is too much against it and forget about it

It doesn't really sound like a good fit.

I'd still apply. If you don't try, you'll never know and there's nothing worse than that 'what if?' feeling.

Thanks. I keep swaying between the two viewpoints!

So I decided to apply but said I could not do the interview date and would prefer part time. I decided it would then be their decision to invite me to interview or not.

They have invited me - but on the day I said I can't do. I have replied saying I can't do that day and we will wait and see!!!!

Oh! It does sound like maybe they don't always read emails very thoroughly. Fingers crossed.

Apply

Good luck hope they can change the date!
