I decided to put this as separate thread ( so it won´t get mixed with my BF´s).
Since last year I´d been looking for a new job ( I´ve got one, but I´m not so very happy with the changes over last year and how the business is conducted).
I apply for position that I feel will suit me. I did some interviews last year, got offer, but for other reasons finally the deal went off.
Last month I found great position announced, I apply and next day I got call for interview, it went well, they were speaking about position even more high up in the company than I first applied for, and I had my second interview yesterday. And everything is just a mess!
(oh they are really keen here about titles ..so companies are full of directors, subdirectors, first CEOs and second CEOs )..I met second CEO ( women- I specify because it´s not very common here).
We had a nice chat, but she literally nock me out by telling me that job I firstly applied for is filled (internal promotion) and they are offering me other position ( because of my track record bla bla bla)..
to be Marketing Director...
and the only thing sounding in my head was: why the hell you didn´t pick the phone and call me? They changed the interview 3 times ( called me 3 hours before to move it one hour)...!!!!!!
I finally managed to focus and started to ask questions, and "sell" myself for the other position, but deep in my heart( now when all info got in) I know, that I´m not going to accept it even if I got the offer.
I´m experienced in my field, speak 5 languages, have multicultural experience as well, but I´m Eng...and introvert, no selling experience and no desire to acquire one, I know the market, but I cannot see myself on the road all the time trying to sell ! In Spain, much of the busineses are conducted over the lunch/dinner, lots of hours off the home..
//The job I applied for were just perfect match ( involved to boss over 5 people, technical issues, testing new software, preparing courses, giving speaches at universities/workshops etc.) //
Well, on one hand I have desire to find a new job ( new challenges), because in actual company I cann´t see any future ( I´d love to go up, but it´s difficult, there are only two steps above me and so well covered by two guys that are busting their butts to suck up to the boss..and I´m definitely not going to do that..and if I want a raise I have to find a new place to work, because there are no money this year, next year or year after jejeje --big boss word last time we spoke about the salary).
So, finally the subCEO wants me to meet the CEO ( I really hope he is the last one) next week... there are two more candidates, but she assured me yesterday that I have definitely big potential.
I don´t know whether to go ( and at least to know the CEO) or just call off whole thing and withdraw my application.
Suprisingly I´m not sad (maybe little bit angry because they don´t give a shit about my time and change things without any notice), but the worsest right now is to not knowing when next suitable job will appear, and how long time I have to stand the current job. Thank god for the BF, my friends and you jgirls !
