Mossyoak77 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Evening All Well just thought I'd share news I have been looking for new job for a while, old one is changing however without giving too much detail on here in case one of em comes on here lol its took quite a few yrs to get some major change sorted. Going to be trained on some new system in current one however money's not been mentioned . So whilst this has been going on looked around and got through to 2nd stage of interview at a place thats also involved in same sector / line of business. Had to take some competency assessments or online testing Got 2nd Interview this week bit further to travel however money's lot better, quite different place etc been speaking with ex coworker who works there helped me out with my 1st stage So bit of prep time again over next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Sounds like a potential good move (Without wanting to jinx anything). Just be wary of the travel, be real honest with yourself about the extra time/money incurred to get to work. I left my local sales job and went to work in London and the commute (1.5 hours each way if no issues) after a few years near on killed me, and my family life went drastically downhill. It can also be worth it, and a little extra travel for the right job is a good compromise just please ensure you think it through thoroughly. What is the new place to work like on hours for work and would you be expected to work late? Good luck, and ace that second interview. If they bring up money in to the conversation in the 2nd interview, I always suggest that as part of my career path I'd like to see that I am constantly going upward, and not sideways. That's my usual hint for a few extra K's to be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
