So, it’s often been said to me that ‘like attracts like’. What I mean by that is, the example I’m often given is that if a person meets someone and gets involved, all of a sudden all these other potential partners come out of the woodwork. In my case, I’m seemingly permanently single, so that’s not what I’m talking about here, that’s another blog in itself. What I’m referring to is the sudden appearance of other career options. Now that I’ve got a job, and it seems like a good place, a good fit, and I’m happy there.
Problem being: I’ve had yet another request for an interview for a position I’d applied to 7 or 8 months ago. A government position, so I knew it could take a long time before getting an interview.
Step two: Take a written test.
I’m not sure what the better option would be: take the test so I see what it’s like, or turn down the opportunity. I guess after my past experience with my old company, I really don’t ‘trust’ the security of the job I have. At least not yet. I think I need to prove to myself that it’s something that’s going to last — I know the company’s not going to close like the last one, but I guess until the training period’s over, I’m going to wonder and I hate to sever backup plans — I DON’T want to be job hunting again like before…
Need to think and consider potential career directions (etc) before I answer. At least if I decide to see what the test is like, I can write it on a Saturday.
