Here's my dilemma...I've been offered a job with the City of Edmonton. Though it's temporary, once you're "in" with the City, they usually try to help you stay "in". While it's probably more admin work than I'd like, I'd still be working very closely with a high up person in the corporate communications department. Because they know I've done the PR diploma, they'd probably be more likely to give me other things to work on. I think it would still be a great experience. The money is okay, not great, and let's face it, the headquarters aren't in the best neighbourhood (um Edmonton's downtown east...yikes!). And with G2, it would be permanent, good money, fun creative atmosphere, better location, more areas for advancement. But I won't know anything until next Wednesday and I have to tell the City my decision tomorrow morning. I am really unsure right now. I'm definitely way more excited for the G2 position but I'm not sure if it's enough to pass up a decent job with the City. I was so worried I'd be put in this position and sure enough, it's finally happened. I've been unemployed for 1 month and 2 days and I'm definitely ready to work again, but I am just so uncertain about where!

Crap...it's finally happened
So today I got two phone calls...one from the City and one from MacEwan for the event planner position (the one I was sure was a total crash-and-burn!). The City offered the job to me. I'm still incredibly excited about the G2 position so I called them to find out when they will be making their decision. I was told that I'd hear about the G2 job by next Wednesday. My follow-up phone call made a good impression but as soon as I got off the phone with the G2 woman, I started worrying.

Oh my! You do have a bit of a dilemma – but hey, at least you have some great options open to you! It's hard though when decisions have to be made on a deadline. Follow your gut I say. It sounds like G2 is where you want to be; although it definitely is a risk to turn down the latest offering. Good luck with your decision! Either way, it looks like you'll be back in the working world soon enough!
Don't worry about the crisp...just send me the recipe only if you have time...sounds like you've got a lot on your plate!
The 101 in 1001 is fun, although I haven't paid much attention to it lately! I wrote it myself, but actually borrowed the idea from another friend who has a blog. I just started it in a word doc, and copied and pasted into the layout section of my blog.
