I had to turn down an amazing opportunity!

I am so bummed about this. About a month ago I applied to a hospital for a clerk position. I interviewed about 2 weeks ago, and yesterday they called. I got the job! The problem is that they offered me the night shift and not the day shift....I had to turn it down:o It sucks that I was #2 (they had 2 positions available, one day and one night, I asked for the day)

I know it would have been an excellent opportunity, but with hubby starting work at 6:30 am, I just would not be home in time. (its a 2 hour commute)

So i'm just sitting here feeling like crap. Tonight I will go to my part time $7 per hour job at Rob McIntosh instead of heading out to a $16 per hour job in the setting I would prefer :o

ok...I'll stop whining now. I just needed to vent:)

What sjoe said!

Plus too factor in the cost of gas, the value of your time, and the maintenance factor for your car, probably be back to making 7$ an hour even though your paycheck reflects 16$.

Am sorry though you feel disappointed! Keep looking!

Best of Luck

Thanks for your thoughts everyone:) It was the right choice to make for us right now...and you are right, that commute would really hurt! lol

I have an interview next week with a volunteer agency, and I will start with that. I am so excited because I have so much to offer!

It may not be a $16 per hour job, but it will be an experience that will teach me so much more than I am imagining.

I'll keep you posted!

:) :)
