[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 1523790, member: 9576"] Alright, so for the past year I've been working two part time jobs - one in retail and the other in a more "professional" environment. I anticipate my supervisor in the professional job will be leaving in the next 3-6 months, in which case I would hope to move up into her full time position. We have a competitor, so to speak, down the hallway from our office who has been struggling to fill a full time position in their office for the past year. I interviewed for this position last year, actually, but was not selected. The person who was selected ended up quitting just a few months after starting, and so their office has been vacant for nearly 6 months. They went through another round of interviews after she quit and both their #1 and #2 candidates ended up turning down the position for different reasons (one had found another position in the time it took them to complete the hiring process and the other decided it was simply too far of a commute). I was approached last week by this other company to see if I was still interested in the position. My first inclination was "no", but I didnt give an immediate answer. Now, I'm obviously interested simply because its a full time position and I would not have to work two part time jobs any more. My apprehensions are that the person who would supervise the position has a reputation for micro-managing. Also, the fact that a full time position may open in my current office in the next 3-6 months. I would prefer to work for my present employer if given a choice, but even when the full time position in my present employer opens, there's no certainty I'd get it (though I would be the obvious choice). I have no idea what the other position pays, and that's the main reason I responded that I was interested in discussing it further. The fact that I'm their number five or six choice, doesn't exactly endear me to them either. What do you folks think? [/QUOTE]
