RABun Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I got an interview, after months of looking for a job!!! One downside is it's in Manchester which would mean renting a room there and coming home at weekends, but the pay is brilliant. The other thing is my work have finally agreed to give me a promotion it won't start until January, but finally after 3 years and one HNC i will finally progress from administration into Site Management!!! The pay probably won't match the offer from Manchester, but its at least on the career path i wanted. At 33 i'm finally on my way! Why do these things always happen at once! Not sure what to do now, shall i go to Manchester for the interview and see what happens or shall i just focus on my current situation?

I'd go to the interview if I were you, seems like you've got everything to gain and nothing to lose. What sort of site management will you be doing by the way?

Awesome, good luck with either but I'd try for the interview as you could use it as a bargaining chip to get more money out of your current company.

RABun Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Cheers peeps. I think i will go to the interview and weigh my options up in the event that i'm offered the job. Its a long shot anyway, so chances are i won't get it, but i wont have lost anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub-contractor management, H&S etc. Not far off the field I work in then. We work as a sub-contractor on a lot of water works. I hope you're going to be a nicer site manager than a lot of the ones I deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABun Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 FFS!! I now have another company want to see me for interview...this is getting silly. Its as a planner though which i don't really want to do so i think i'll skip it. I'm finding it really hard to say no the the recruitment guy though, after months of being practically ignored by agencies they are starting to get pushy again. Time to grow a pair Bun.

Sept is always the busiest period for hiring people, during the summer people (managers who ok it) are on holiday or looking after kids, and Nov-March comapnies have the winter holiday season and the new finical year and try to not hire so they can project into the estimated monies. Really not sure why I know this, as I don't work in recruitment or management. Thank god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
