Taken from a post elsewhere (annoyed at FIL right now so cant be bothered to right it again -_- )
Ok, its prob a bit early for me to be worrying about this, but I am...
I'm in the middle of a job application right now. Gotta pass some tests, an hours phone interview AND a normal interview before I find out if I've got the job or not, but I can't help stress over it. The job's an hours bus ride away, as I cant drive yet, which would mean getting up early to catch the 7:20 bus. If the job doesnt finish until after 5 i'd have to get the 6:15 bus back and get home after 7:30. That would mean a 12 hour day, followed up most likely by having to cook (DH can't cook anything healthy and FIL always does the same thing or something i dont like and way over cooks vegetables). I've never had a job before, so not only will it be a VERY tiring day, but could put some strain on my relationship with DH. Ok, so it sounds like a pretty weird job for me to go for with all that considered
BUT its THE ONLY accountancy job I can find that do on the job training. Everywhere else i'd have to do a course somewhere and start with them AFTER i'm part qualified -_- So this is a great opportunity for me. Once i've got qualified with this job i'd work up til the point that i dont owe them training fees then get a job back home. And once I learn to drive the trip will only be 20-30mins.
Thing is, i know from a friend's experience, that if I left the job early I'd have to pay them training fees. If my friend leaves before she's been there 2 years she'll have to pay them £2000
I really dont know if its worth the risk that i'll hate it
I have anxiety so it could make me worse. But its just such a great opportunity! If it is 9:30-5:30 i could prob ask them to change my hours to 9-5.
What do you think? Should i take it if i'm offered it?
