job offer

March 4th, 2009 at 06:30 pm

I think I have a job. I applied to a couple places on Sunday and was called in for an interview yesterday and they want to do a second interview tomorrow.

In this economy and job market I am grateful. I really am. But I'm not excited.

I don't like working for other people or big corporations. I dont like answering to people and making them money. I cant think of a single job that gets me excited unless it's some work-from-home or self-employment business.

But in this economy and this stage in life the smart thing to do is get a job. So it looks like I have one. As long as tomorrow goes well I might be on the payroll starting next week.

I don't know what the pay is. They start me on a probation trial for 2-3 months then will place me into a management training program.

I am lucky that I don't NEED any certain amount to live so I am flexible on the pay.

I am looking for a job that allows me to punch in, get the work done during my shift, then punch out and not have to worry about it. I hate "taking my work home with me". Since I prefer to "work to live" rather than "live to work", this trial period seems up my ally but if I move into management I might be getting into a situation that means more stress and more hours with that more pay option. So we'll see.

The good things are:
*I will meet people my own age or a bit younger.
*I have the opportunity to move up.
*It's about 10 min drive from my house.
*I am a little overqualified for it so I think I will get moved up quickly if I want to be moved up.

I'll play it by ear and see how it goes.

    Good luck! It sounds like a perfect situation. Get out and make some money so that when you start a family you can keep it or quit. And 10 mins. from the house is a great commute!

    no ebaying for a while. We have all our ebay products in storage while we get our life settled.

    Good Luck!

    It's funny because I don't equate working from home or self-employment as something I can't take home with me. IT absolutely drives me nuts. I'll take employment any day - where I can leave work at work and walk away whenever I Want. IT's just something I always observe with the "want to work at home/for self crowd." Or maybe I am just lucky to find all those things in a job. (I agree - I would never work for a giant corporation. Well, I did and it sucked - never again! Maybe working for a sole proprietor is very different in that regard - I have worked for a few in my lifestime).

    I do wish you look though! It's just a step on your journey to where you want to be, right?
