jobs - update on help

[juldea]

The flight school called. Interview set up for NEXT Friday, the 23rd. I sound like a "promising candidate." ARGH at the week-and-a-half wait time!

Best of luck on both opportunities. If nothing else, consider the time at the shelter as a chance to evaluate if you would like to work there, or if its a get the *beep* out situation. More information is usually a good thing to have when it comes to job decisions. Hope things work out for you.

Call the shelter. Talk to the woman. Tell her what your aspirations are and that there's this job that would help your career aspirations. Tell her you'd be happy to come in and provide temporary assistance, but your heart would like to follow the flying career. Tell her you'd be there for probably a month at minimum (interview next Friday, they get back to you early the next week, you give two weeks notice, that's about a month) and that she should probably continue to look for a more permanent replacement. If she's uncomfortable with that arrangement, then you were honest, and you didn't screw them. If she's ok with it because they really need the help *now*, then it's a win win.

In general, I find blatant honesty to be shockingly appreciated in times like yours.
