ugh, why can't job hunting be easier....my vent.

I thought finally getting job offers would be a huge relief, but it's brought more stress over which one to choose  Tongue Tied....seems like a lot is opening up in he HR field, but most seems to be temp or temp-to-perm, meaning I have to really plan out a game plan....

i just turned down an immediate recruiting offer (temp) b/c i have another offer for more $ & more of the job type (HR generalist + recruiting) that I really want, downside - the latter pos doesn't start until mid may...

Did i make the right choice??  I don't know....had to go with my gut on this one...

Let's just hope to heck that i don't get a big ol' "told you so" from mr. h. 

Arghh....i hope i don't kick myself for the decision. 

To top that off, I have another company that's a direct hire but they seem to be dragging their feet on when they want to hire.....I can't just lolly gag around & wait..... sorry, just a little frustrated here....

  • Ugh, I'm sorry you're frustrated. It does sound like you made the best decision possible though, mid-May is only two weeks away and it sounds like a better choice overall.

  • I think you did! Mid-May is only a 2 weeks away.

    Congrats!

  • thanks guys Big Smile....i think so too.  My h is just kinda ribbing on me with...."beggars shouldn't be choosers" deal, since the first one was "immediate".

    I think he thinks i'm stalling for not taking that one, but it really was not my first choice...I talked to them b/c i'm not turning down any interviews in this market. I guess I just have to stick to my guns and be happy with my choice.

  • It's not like you just turned down a job and had no other option. You are just choosing a different one. Mid-May is practically tomorrow!

  • I think its great that you have different positions to choose from. You dont want to go through all of this just to have to find another job in a little while. Mid May will be here in no time!

  • I agree you did and Mid May honestly is what 2 weeks away?  It's not like they said July.

    Now the other one that you really like that are dragging honestly why don't you tell them that you were offered this position but you really would prefer to work for them?

    It worked for me once

  • aw man this is when one of those crystal balls would really come in handy... in the absence of that, i would say your gut is the next best thing and you really can't go wrong with following it. keep us posted!
    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
  • yes, Eden ~ a crystal ball would really be a huge help right now! 

    Thanks for your feedback ladies, and I actually did let them know I had 2 other offers on the table, and the recruiter i'm working with was "on it"  and was pushing a little for some feedback, but the company doesn't seem like they know exactly what they want....they know they need to fill the position yesterday, but they almost seem too busy to commit almost....I know weird, but that pos will be pure recruiting too (and from talking to the hr dir, it sounds a little stressful). 

    I have a little time to commit to the mid-may job, so we'll see if the other place produces soon...otherwise I'm happy to take the job that my gut is telling me to go with.  I loved the people, commute, office space & it's in my price range....  sounds like a no brainer when I write it all out!
