GAAHHH!!!!!
Jun. 3rd, 2005 11:57 amJust when you thought it was safe to answer the phone, the job that wouldn’t die, returns from the grave… but in slightly different form. In essence, they’re now talking about offering me a 12 month contract, with the intention of making me permanent after 6 months or so.
Do I like this? Frankly, not really. The whole appeal of a permanent job is that it is permanent & thus frees up the finances to take on debt etc; temporary roles don’t have this advantage – but the job would still require me to invest heavily (ie buy a semi-decent car). So… I guess that it all depends on what they’re REALLY offering, and not some nebulous prospective job offer. Translation: I might be interested. If the Price is right…
What an emotional rollercoaster! What a farce! Do I want to work for these people? Can I tolerate the commute? Will it go permanent? And who is the mysterious hooded man? What is Lotus X?
Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of "STEVE JOB HUNT!!!"
