I can't find your blog...can you send me the url?
also, I like the idea of being a HS college counselor. This totally didn't exist in my HS and would have been so helpful. Two guys from my masters program do this at smacy private schools in FL and love it. There's no upward mobility, but they make pretty good money and the hours are awesome.

ygm!
I have a family friends whos kids go to a fancy-smacy private school. She is good friend with the dean/headmaster (whatever they call her) Shes put in a good word for me b/c they are trying to create a position, however I am about 99% sure I need a masters to even apply to this school for even the lunch lady job. So we will see... just a dream...
I have a friend who owns a college advisory business here in Boston-- google Campus Bound. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a Masters degree.
Holy crap Crystal!!! Just read your blog... You've been through a whirlwind!!

ygm to your yahoo account!
Definitely bazaar. If it were me, I'd be extremely skeptical of the position and definitely not be afraid to keep asking questions. If they seem unorganized now, chances are they're just as unorganized in day-to-day tasks.
As far as you being "groomed" into a new position, I initially thought it was extremely flattering that they seem to recognize the work you are doing. That being said, I'm not thrilled at the prospect of more work and supervising underlings without being compensated. Is any of that negotiable? Is it worth it to stick it out, and be ahead in the long run?
Its weird they didn't know the salary. Very weird. The whole interview email thing is weird too. My school is EXTREMELY decentralized and I cannot imagine something like that happenning...
And I agree with Brit re the current position...

I am definitely very skeptical... I am going to have my questions ready. When I asked for an example of a typical day... it was a lot different than what was posted... ehhh, so we will see. Something is holding me back though and giving me a weird feeling about this prospect.
I don't know what to think about my current position. I haven't had a raise in the 3 years I have been, (standard right now with the economy and every other univ employee) but still some kind of incentive would be nice, or at least, "hey we are working on a reclassification of your position" instead we got "we hope to get an assistant position in here...." I don't know... also do I want the school I graduated from and first professional job to be the only thing on my resume 10 years from now?
a lot to think about...
ygm, too!
#1 that potentional job seems way sketchy. I would go on the interview for the experience. You can never have too much, right? If they still seem sketchy after the face to face interview you can either tell them no thank you, or if they want you to go to their main campus for an interview and they are paying for it, maybe it will be worth it? I know you enjoy traveling.
But if they are this disorganized with just the interview process I can't image things are better day-to-day. So keep that in mind.
As far as your other job goes, that really sucks they aren't giving you a raise. I say continue to look for another job and if you get moved up at your old job before finding something else then great. Maybe a new role will shed some light on the job and you may enjoy it more. Who knows.
Keep your options open. Continue looking, applying, and interviewing if you're not happy at your current job. Let them move you up if they are willing. It will look good to potential employers to see the upwards trend.
howwww did I miss this personal blog??
URL please
I hope this... but ehhh, you never know. I could be a lame duck for years, my boss isn't exactly known for fighting for things unless it directly benefits him (flex sched, working from home proposals, etc.) A lot to put into consideration... oh and I would now have a ~35 mile (traffic) commute every day compared to my 5 mile commute now so a potential move would have to in the future for both dh and I's jobs.
