Should I Go To The Interview Tomorrow?

[abbeyleigh]

This job I applied for the same as my current job closer to home has offered me to come in tomorrow around 9.30am or 1pm but I've emailed to ask if 8.30 or 5.45 but I'm in 8.45 till 5.45 if not how should I ask my boss if I can go early or start late if I want to go.

You have only just started your present job, don't you like it? If a was your employer I would not be too happy if you asked for time off already.

[abbeyleigh]

It's not that I don't like it just this closer to home and better hours.

[MargoTester]

Doing what? Does it have better opportunities than where you are now

[THECORBYLOON]

You've not long started this job and you want to give your boss very short notice you want to come in late or go early?

If you can be flexible with your lunch breaks, and really want to go to that other place, would it not be better to take it so you can get there for one o'clock even if it meant getting a taxi there and back?

Abbey/There's a Gaelic word "bourach" and that's what you are getting into right now - a mess/shambles. There's no saying that this job you are applying for will be more to your liking than your present one ... if indeed you are offered the post. I think you once said you were in your early thirties - time to make your own decisions?

What will you wear?

[abbeyleigh]

Margotester same as what I'm doing now.

[Bazile]

Oh Gosh - no - why did you have to bring that up, Tilly ?:-)

[MargoTester]

Thing is Abbey, if you go to the interview and get the job do you think your present employer would give you a good reference?

[elliemay1]

I honestly don't see how you could ask your current employer for time off to go for an interview when you've only just started there! As said previously, stay where you are

[evadora]

If you keep job hopping then your CV is not going to look very good! Employers want people they can rely on (at least to some extent). If I was interviewing you with a CV showing lots of short time employment I don't think I would chance employing you.

How long does it take you to travel to your current job using 2 buses, and is this one 20 minutes walking or travelling up the road?

[abbeyleigh]

That's right

[naomi24]

What’s the job?

[abbeyleigh]

Dental receptionist

[THECORBYLOON]

If you get a full driving licence, will you be buying a car?

[abbeyleigh]

Yes

[naomi24]

Isn’t that what you’re doing now?
