an interview
good morning my voxy neighbors.
i'm posting to tell you that i have an extremely promising job interview tomorrow at 11. a woman from a staffing agency called me about it and while i'm pretty over-qualified for it, the opportunities for advancement are there...big time. the salary is $2,500 less than my actual salary, but $4,000 more than what i'm making now that we have that awesome 20% pay cut until labor day.
i'd be an account manager and csr.
reasons why i'm going to the interview and why i'm going to take the job if offered (which i strongly believe it will be):
* the company is three times the size as the one i'm at now which leads me to believe that there is good job security.
* it was rated #13 in the country for being the best promotional products distributor to work for as voted on by their employees.
* i'll get paid pretty decently to do a relatively simple job.
* i'll get out of my current hell hole of a job.
* i don't actually think that my salary will go back to normal after labor day.
* i don't really think my current company will be around by the end of the year...if the company is, i don't necessarily think my job will be.
* it's closer to my house.
* i'll be working with someone i know from a previous job.
* i won't be miserable every day when i go to work, especially knowing that i'm getting paid respectively for what i'm doing. i'll take a pay cut, if my job duties decline as well. that makes sense to me.
reasons why i wouldn't take the job:
* there is a slight chance that my salary would return to normal.
* not really a reason why i wouldn't take the job, but a reason why it'll be hard to quit my current job: my immediate boss is not the problem, but he'll bear the brunt of me leaving and he'll be the one to suffer most. i dread resignation day...(i know i'm getting ahead of myself, but i'm seriously a shoe in for this position).
i like to make these types of lists. i'm a visual person, and clearly, taking the interview and the job would be the best decision. my horoscope yesterday said that there will be an offer coming along and a decision i make regarding this could actively effect my life, but taking the risk may be the best decision i ever make. there you have it.
