What Do I Do If I Get This Job?

[abbeylee90]

I got an interview tomorrow in a new shop opening which is meant to be on 9th. I need to give 2 weeks notice to selco so what do I say?

[abbeylee90]

Yes I took it yesterday.

[naomi24]

Well if you've changed your mind tell them right away.  They need to find reliable staff to work in their new shop.

[abbeylee90]

If I had another opportunity I would.

[naomi24]

If your not keen don't take it.  It's not a good start.

[abbeylee90]

This job I'm looking at I'd be so excited if I was given it but not going to bank on it.

I think that would be too much for you, abbey.  It carries quite a lot of responsibility - and I don't think you would cope that.

[abbeylee90]

There's not much info given apart from that.

[pastafreak]

They've given plenty of information. 

Amongst other things they require flexibility. That might mean being needed to work when you'd rather do a bottomless brunch. Your priority would have to be work.

Could you oversee "the dispatch of orders and coordinate van deliveries" or "Checking and putting away supplier deliveries, informing your line manager of any shortages or damaged stock"

Those are big responsibilities. 

 

[abbeylee90]

I'm just really indecisive now.

[newmodarmy]

What do your parents think?  Do you ever chat to them about things?   

[abbeylee90]

Not unless I'm sure which I'm not.

[abbeylee90]

Tomorrow is my last day I can hand in my notice.

[abbeylee90]

Pasta doesn't have to be that job as I haven't even been offered an interview for it. I'm just having a huge dilemma 

[scorpiojo]

But Warehouse jobs all involve lifting and carrying 

[abbeylee90]

I don't mind that or packing.

[DDIL]

But you have said previously that you would need help lifting 

[scorpiojo]

It's not a case of you not minding it, it's whether you can do it.

[Hazlinny]

Abbey, I am at a loss to understand you ....  just when we think you are finally getting a job with more hours, you suddenly start talking about a warehouse job - why?

[scorpiojo]

Possibly because it's a higher wage?

[newmodarmy]

You cannot earn enough at Selco based on  10 hours a week. You will never be able to save, pay your way and move out or afford holidays or a car.

The job you've been offered seems to be paying roughly 4 times  as much. It'll make a huge difference financially. You'll learn new skills and improve your chance of progressing your career. Take it while there is an offer. Give it 3 months to see if it's working out and save up as much as you can. Also pay back your mum some money and offer to pay a reasonable amount for 'keep'.

I wouldn't turn down this new job just in the hope you get the warehouse job. You may not get the warehouse job. You may be able to do it even if you get it.
