I got a job offer!!!!!!!!
 

It's a sales job and I just got a voice mail that I got the job and human resources will be calling me on Monday to make an offer!!!! :D

I might be getting another job offer next week too for a local governement job!!!!!!! :eek:

What to do??? The sales job is harder (have to be on my feet a lot) but it's doing something I love.

If I get offered the other job it will pay a bit less (but they both have great benefits!) And that would be a desk job also doing something I enjoy!!?? :eek:

Holy moly, who'd a thought I'd have this sort of dilemma at 51 years old and with MS??? :D :eek:

:Dancing-Chilli::Dancing-Chilli::Dancing-Chilli::Dancing-Chilli:

All of my feverish job hunting and networking is paying off!!!!! :D

Congratulations! :You-Rock:

I'd say go with the one you love.



Or not... :D


You'll figure it out, I'm sure! Keep us posted! :hug:


ummm, want me to tend your cute kitty while you're gone to work? ;)

Congratulations!!!:D

Congratulations! Make a list of the pros and cons of each job and see where it takes you.

Many, many congratulations! Personally I'm all about the government jobs because of the great benefits. Let us know what you decide.

Nice going, Wizzer. The desk job may be better, longer term? :hug:

oooo ooooo ... here's your chance to bargain a bit ...

sit down and write out the pros and cons for each job ... and then when you talk to them on Monday - ask if you can give them an answer in a couple of days ... because you have another offer that you are considering ...

they may give you some extra $$$ ... OH, and remember your AMA requests ... even tho you may be on your feet alot ... still have the opportunity to have a stool and extra breaks ...

best to you, my friend!!

Congrats Wiz! :)

Whichever one you choose, you will do well, cause you're Wiz!

i wish i could offer advice. what a choice.
but...congratulations wiz. it's all just terrific.

you might consider job security as 1 point to consider.

They would both offer job security! The sales job is with a Fortune 100 company known to offer great benefits and to be especially good to employees. The manager even spoke about me going into management possibly later on, or going to work for corporate in the suburbs.

The local government job would likely stay the same because it's a small town but there would be salary increases, etc... over the years.

you're a smart cookie, Wiz-girl ... whichever you choose - I'll support you 100-gazillion percent!!

Think retirement benefits. Sales may have promotions but economy not great right now. If MS rears it's ugly head, which might be better for you? Pros and cons. MS means looking carefully at futures. (and you ain't no spring chicken anymore, know what I mean?)

Yay Wiz! All your hard work has paid off. You go!:hug:

WOW!!! Congrats :D Happy for you!
Linda

Let us know what you end up deciding...you'll know in your gut which one is best...:)

Congratulations! I love when nice things happen to nice people.:)

Good for you Wiz! :D. I'd look closely at the retirement and long term disability benefits if I had to decide. Of course, liking the job and the people are the most important things. I'm sure you'll pick the right one for you :).

Congratulations. I'm green with envy. I want a job too...
well done.

Congratulations!!! :D

I'd say go with option 1. My logic in this is you'll be doing something you love and if you're happy, this will hopefully mean less stress and therefore an ease in symptoms and better overall well being.

So happy for you!! :) :hug:

I "accepted" the sales job and the start date is January 4th. BUT, I have an interview on Monday for the accounting job so if they tell me I get that job and it looks better, I'll rescind my acceptance of the first job before the first day.

I feel so lucky to be in this position!!! :)

AWESOME!! you go, smarty-pants girl!!

I'm so glad you made up your mind.

I hate indecision




I think...




You go, girl! :hug:

What a great Christmas blessing!! Whatever you choose to do, I hope you enjoy your new job!!

Very nice, take care of business!

that's great wiz. congrats again.
it's so cool to have 2 offers.

best to you in the new yr.

Just seeing this now BUT, CONGRATS WIZ!!! You'll be a ''Wiz" at either job.

Keep us posted and yippeeeeee!

Well??? What'll it be?

Is tomorrow your BIG DAY??? :)

Ok they're still taking a very long time deciding (or letting me know) about the accounting job. I finally did some calling and emailing and I should know next week. They might actually be putting together some sort of other job from what I heard through the grapevine. :confused: They also need a billing clerk; and I was telling them I have some experience in seeking grants, technical writing and computer trouble shooting so they might want me for those reasons even if I didn't get the accounting job (which would be fine with me as long as it paid as well.)

But I'm going to be starting the sales job tomorrow because "a job in the hand is worth two in the bush" lol. If they make a better offer for the other job, I'll explain to the first employer and hopefully they'll understand. It's not like they don't have a lot of people who'd be willing to take my place anyway.

I'll be staying in the 'burbs for the training M-TH night because the weather is too nasty to commute when I'm trying to concentrate and learn a new job.

let us know how it pans out.
good luck tomorrow and in the new year.
