So I thought I had a job...they asked me to do a one-week trial. I accepted faster than a footy player leaving a northern club.
Hours 8.15 to 5.30. I left at 2. As much as I want a job, I can't do micromanagement, being overly critical and just a bad vibe from the place (no one talked to each other unless it was work-related).
Now I feel like s**t. I mean, I doubt I would have gotten the job anyway and staying in a place that makes you anxious is bad, but I still feel guilty. I don't want to be a bludger!
Don't feel bad Kezz, you were following your gut instinct. The job wasn't right for you.
Long before sexual harrassment laws etc, at age 15 I went for a secretarial job in a small office, would've been just me and the boss. During the interview while doing a typing test, the boss had his hands around my shoulders leaning in really close, gave me the creeps. He told me I had the job. I said no thanks and left. My instinct kicked in that day, the guy was real slimey. Took me a while to get job but I ended up in another small office with really nice people.
You will find a job Kezz, one that you feel comfortable in. You don't have to love it or be best friends with the people but as long as you are at ease doing your job and the eviroment, is all that matters..
..keep looking luv, its just around the corner waiting for you, hang in there and trust your instinct
