I’ll know within the next two weeks. After finding out more, I’m not sure if I want the job. It’s either call center or “revenue recovery.” Not exactly how it sounded on paper. I’d get paid more and better hours, but my soul would slowly suffocate.

I need some way to find a job I can ride out until next summer. It would make things easy. Otherwise, I think I’ll have to stay where I am. I’m also kind of worried because by the next time I do a shift bid the company may have cut all the closing shifts. I wouldn’t mind having earlier hours, however I rely on the 10% shift differential to pay my rent/bills.

This job isn’t officially dead yet in my eyes, but I’ve got doubts and I think the interviewers had doubts.

Time to look some more.

The interview is in two weeks from yesterday or it might be two weeks from today. Wooo wooo!!!! I need to iron my shirt again.

At this rate, I could be working this job by August or September. At least that’s what I’m hoping. As I find out more, I’ll be sure to let you know.

I’ve got good news, but I’m ambivalent as to whether I should be excited about the possibilities. I’ve been invited to test for a job position with The City. It would be an administrative position with less emphasis on customer service and more emphasis on paperwork. Essentially, I’d be returning to the realm of paper jockey in an office. However, I’d easily be making a few thousand dollars more a year.

The oddest part about this is the timing. I’ve recently come to a point where I’m satisfied with my current position and willing to stay there. I’ve been thinking a lot about going to Japan in a year. Now, I’ve got one more factor to throw into the equation.

At this point I don’t know that I’ll get the job (still in testing), but the possibility itself complicates my plans. The money alone adds a lot of allure to it. Not because I’d stay there long term, but it would be helpful for paying off some debt before pursuing my other dreams.

I’m wavering.

Update: I’m testing for the job on Tuesday. I’ve got varied feelings about actually doing the job, but I’m excited and nervous about the opportunity. I’ll admit the money is quite tempting, but the money cannot be the only factor.

As a requirement for a refund for a certificate program I was reading about, the certification company requests the following:
• A copy of all 20 official rejection letters (for job applications).

This company knows what they’re doing. I know few men or women who would debase themselves enough to admit, “Yes, I got turned down for twenty different jobs worldwide. I am educated and intelligent, but still have nothing to offer the world. I want my $1000 back.”
