2 Offers & Waiting...
So I was offered the Event Planner position with MacEwan. And as much as I want to be an event planner and get event planning experience, the job was part time and required flexibility (as in, don't get another job) Hello, this is Alberta and there is no way I can live on a part time income. I'll get my event planning chance later, I know it.
After lots of thinking and lots of friend-input (over margaritas at Julio's on Whyte), I've decided to be cut-throat. I have accepted the City of Edmonton job today (just waiting to hear back about details). However, if I am offered the G2 job next Wednesday, I will quit the City job. As my friends (and even my dad, of all people!) said, the organization is looking out for what's best for the organization. So I have to look out for what's best for me. And if I feel that the G2 job is what's best, I have to take it. But not at the chance of being unemployed. That said, I still feel incredibly guilty about accepting a job knowing that I'd leave it if I got a better offer.
If I don't get the G2 job, I will keep looking. Ultimately, this City job is only 6 months. I just want to find a great job that I can stay at for a few years.
How come being a grown-up is so hard?
