Help?? What should I do.

[Emile]

I applied to an accelerated BSN program and today I got the email below. My problem is that they gave us such short notice (5 days) I will not be able to make interview in person because I really can't call out on my job. phone. They do give me the option of doing a phone interview but, I have an accent which gets worst when I'm nervous so I don't interview well over the phone. They also said "In person interviews are not mandatory, but strongly recommended" which gives me the impression that the people who actually go to the interview will have a better chance over those that don't. Should I take my chances with phone interview or should I call off my job and drive 4 hours to the interview? Thanks for your advice.

This is a perfect decision for 10-10-10.

How To Use 10-10-10

To use 10-10-10 for decision making, you can simply ask yourself 3 questions:

• Question 1. What are the consequences of my decision in 10 minutes?
  
• Question 2. What are the consequences of my decision in 10 months?
  
• Question 3. What are the consequences of my decision in 10 years?
  

Good luck!

After the interview (she was the last interview of the day) we saw this woman literally skipping across the street to her car (which she had parked across the street despite there being adequate parking right in front of the building).

Off topic, but I always park far away from other cars, even if I have to cross the street to do it. Too many jerks out there who have no qualms about dinging other people's doors. Although, I never skip to my car. I hope that never costs me a job!
