so i just got back from a job interview and im eughhh
basically, i’ve been looking for a new job because my current job is only 2 days a week and they refuse to increase my hours which means i’m starting to really struggle financially. i’ve told them this but they don’t seem to care and i literally can’t keep living off 2 days a week, i’ve eaten into all my savings and it’s getting to the point where i’m going to have to start asking people for money if it keeps going on like this.
so, i had opportunity come up because i know someone and i had an interview with them today. at first, i didn’t think it was something i would actually be interested in taking at all because i thought it was going to be something to do with sales and basically having to be super social with the public all the time. turns out, it’s basically a receptionist job of welcoming people, telling them to take a seat and getting them tea or coffee and also answering the phones. which is like, half of what i do already (greeting people and answering phones). sooooo it’s something i could do and have the skills for.
BUT the hours are pretty insane, 40 hours a week and having to work 1 or 2 saturdays a week plus the occasional sunday though that’s supposed to be pretty rare. going from 18 hours a week over 2 days to 40 hours over 5 days + extra would be a lot for me. and like, it’s not something i want to do but it’s something i can do for the moment whilst i look for something else i actually do want to do and be earning pretty good money in the meanwhile.
so. yeah. i haven’t been offered the job, i’ll find out tomorrow if i have or not. so all this worrying could be over nothing if they don’t even offer me it. but i have a pretty strong feeling they will, so i need to prepared and know what my answer is.
the logical thing is to say yes. it’s a full-time job, which is what i’ve been looking for, as opposed to being stuck at a 2-day a week job which barely covers my monthly costs. so it would be stupid not to, i guess. it’s just not what i want to do and i’m worried it’s going to drain me so much
