FU career fair/interview

So, I got offered the job from the interview.

But I'm not going to take it.  Ultimately, it wouldn't be a good fit. And, as much as I want a job, taking a job that would be a terrible fit wouldn't do anyone favors I think.

However, I am going to parlay a lot of the advice that many of you gave me and keep looking.

So, thanks again ladies!  I definitely heard all your advice.  It's so awesome to be able to get advice & wisdom from SO MANY strong, successful and smart women.  Big Smile

Re: FU career fair/interview

  • Yeah for you on both accounts.  I always admire people who can look at something objectively and realize that something is not a good fit and not take it!  I am such a wimp!
  • congrats! on both receiving the offer and also making the choice to do what is best for you. a good fit is so, so important and if you are unhappy at work it trickles into everything else and that sucks. good luck with the search!

  • Congrats on both decisions! For the moment I'm a believer that taking a bad job takes you out of the running for a better job, so I hope that the better job comes along soon!

    Ditto cheeky! So glad the experience was good for you - you got practice, and encouragement that you'll rock your future employer's world! If you can think of a symbol for the confidence I hope you're feeling, keep it somewhere noticeable for your next opportunity.

  • Thanks everyone.  I'm pretty sure I would have ultimately been miserable in the position. I decided that just wasn't worth it for me.  i'm also pretty sure the hours would have made my husband miserable.

    So, I've decided my "job" for right now is going to be networking like crazy.  kastle will be coming to a GTG near you to practice amongst friendly faces!  I've already started casting out the net & got an opportunity from a former teacher.  It's a small free-lance type thing but it'll be good experience.
