This job hunting malarky involves quite a bit of decision-making- which jobs to apply for being the most obvious, and then things like what to include on the form, who to choose as references etc etc. After all this, I wonder if I can include it as a skill on the next application?!
But a decision I never thought I'd be making was whether or not to take up the offer of an interview. I wonder (and might always do) whether I've made the right decision in turning this one down. For starters it was very last minute, and then it turned out to not really be what I'm looking for. In the space of a few hours I've gone through every emotion and state of decision about it, but all the time with an underlying sense of it not really being right. The job was a long way away somewhere I know no-one, wasn't very appropriate and it was going to take a lot to get to the interview. Adding the difficulties of getting there to whether or not I wanted the job at all meant I wasn't feeling particularly enthused.
But there's still this small voice inside me saying 'you say you want a job but you've just turned down the opportunity for one'. I don't know whether its the right thing or not, I just have to hope so. And keep going with the next form. I'll get there one day, I'm sure.
