Wow, ive posted alot today i just realized..... So, on to my issues.
Ever since hubby and I figured we would not be able to make a move to Florida this year, ive started applying for new jobs. I hate my current manager and my job duties have transformed my work into a place I just hate to show up to. So ive been applying.
Ive put in over 25 applications with different companies since the beginning of May. Of those 25, about 11 of them were internal company (ie hospital) transfer requests. You still have to interview and stuff for them like normal though. I only got a call back for 3 of them. During the interview for one position, i was told there were almost 100 applicants for one job. So, its not that I suck but there theres an overload in the market right now.
Im grateful to have a job while im job searching, but I still feel the need to break out of my current situation.
So of the 3 positions i interviewed for within my current hospital, I definitely did not receive 2 of the, (got the sorry emails just the other day). Im still waiting to hear back from the last one....the issue is I had one other interview: at the competition hospital across town.
Now this hospital took forever to offer me the job ,but it was clear from the interview that they really liked me. I finally get word that I am offered the job, but i still had my last interview to go to. So I ask them for a week to mull it over, they agree and I go to the other interview. That interview was odd, and for the life of me I just cant gauge how well I did.
I still havent heard from this last interview, but i did call the other hospital and "accept" the job offer. I say "accept" b/c if I do get the offer i am still waiting to hear from, I will rescind my acceptance of Other Hospitals offer. Not that im not grateful, but ive been at this hospital for almost 9 years and it be nice to stay. My friend said it was rude to "lie" to them...I dont feel Im lying but if I didnt accept the other hospitals offer then they wouldve moved on to the next person and i might have been SOL.
So here i am, in a job i hate, looking for one i can hate less....with a job offer from somewhere i dont want to go and hopefully waiting on an offer for a job in which that I have no idea what my chances are of actually getting. /sigh
