impromptu phone interview, feeling like a liar.

Published

A former professor of mine posted on facebook about an opening at a pediatricians office part time in my area. I really want to get into peds so I called the office and left a message with the office manager.

She called me back and we did what seemed like an impromptu interview on the phone that I wasn't really expecting. I thought she would just schedule an interview and be done with it. I probably should have expected it, but it's too late for that. I currently have 3 jobs, one non nursing job I work 2 days a week, per diem at a hospital (I work here one shift, if that, a week), and a sub nurse for a school district.

She asked if I was working anywhere currently, and I told her about the non nursing job and the per diem job. I know I should have definitely told her about the school, but I didn't want her to think that I was a crazy job hoarder and that I would be difficult to schedule, thus resulting in her not hiring me. I told her if I were hired, I would quit my part time non-nursing job.

I'm meeting with her with her next week. Should I tell her about the sub nursing job or just let it go? Subbing is not going to interfere with the office job, they call me a day or 2 in advance asking if I can work, so I will know my schedule by then and know if I'm available. I feel bad that I pretty much lied to her but I feel like it's too late to try and fix it now, since I knowingly left out the sub job when she explicitly asked me.

The subbing at the school, even if it's infrequent, is relevant experience and should be listed on your resume.

I haven't listed it yet since I just started there less than a month ago. I don't like to add experience to my resume until I've been there for a little bit and have more of a grasp of my role. She didn't seem to mind that I have very little peds experience, but I feel bad that I didn't mention the subbing
