I'm being made redundant in the coming weeks and I've been circulating my CV. I've been very fortunate that I've already had 2 interviews.
Job No.1: Great place to work, clean and neat, I would excel here and be happy. The salary is a good chunk less than what I am earning now but meals are covered and also free gym membership (for a really nice gym). I find out tomorrow if I have gotten the job or not - it sounded really positive but I know there are heaps of people who applied.
Job No.2: Has a good name for itself, seems badly run at the moment, is undeniably dirty and horrifically organised inside, I could shape things up alright over time but I worry about whether or not I'll be happy there. The salary is the same as what I am on now and more than the one above. They have already implied that I have the job in the bag and are now asking when can I start.
So now I am stuck in a place I honestly never thought I would be. I really want Job No. 1 (even with the salary drop) but I am starting to think that I didn't get it (I think this is because I really want it).
I obviously need to wait until tomorrow to find out if I have Job No. 1. But if I don't get it, should I accept Job No. 2 with all my doubts, just for the sake of having a job?? What would you do??
