Ok, KinkyVixin's thread about the bad blind date got me thinking. Here is my situation:

I am currently looking for a job for when my current assignment ends. I am using both my own searching and two consulting companies that both know about each other. M consulting company got me the position that I am in now and are looking into (I am hoping) other ones for me including one I am really excited about.

T consulting company has been in contact with me through the entire assignment. T just emailed me yesterday about a job that interviews next week and starts after the first of the year. First description of the job is something that I DO not want and email T my concerns. He comes back with a different description and says that this is really what it is. I call him to get some more information, but something just isn't sitting right. I am thinking it is because the first description and the second are completely different from each other. He knows I am a little wary and I ask "If I go on the interview and decide afterwards that it isn't something I want, is that ok?" Basically he says it isn't a problem, but in that way that says that it is a problem and I feel guilty even thinking about it.

My gut says just say no, but my mind says it is a job, can't hurt. Then my mind says, but what if I get the job I really want, but I have interviewed and feel bad about saying no.

At this point, I am going to go with my gut and say no to the interview.

But I am curious, what would you do?

T's job is to make money for his company. If he can place you in a job, he succeeds. Doesn't matter if you like it or if it is what you wanted.

Go with the gut, here.

That's what my mom said. I didn't think of it until she said it because M never gave me that feeling. I mean, I said something that I was expecting advice for and there was nothing that made me feel like he gave a crap. M on the other hand has always been helpful and seem like it is not only about placing me, but placing me well.

I am glad I went with M for the first job!!

Thanks Els.

I would trust my gut. I've done the other in the past and it was just a waste of time and emotion.

Even if you don't take it, T gets points for sending an interviewee. Makes T look like he's working hard for the prospective employer, so he might send mismatched people (wasting your time and clean underwear) to keep up appearances. ;)

Sometimes ya gotta just say no.

The subconscious is an amazing thing. Your mind picks-up on subtle clues and innuendos that you cannot imagine, truly. This was my major in school and what I continued to study until this day.
"Your gut" is far more "actual" than what you imagine it to be... there is a reason for it. If the reason is strong & you have other realistic options, I say listen to it.

I am definately going to say no to the whole thing. Right now I am just trying to figure out how to phrase it without letting my temper get in the way.

The more I thought about it the more I didn't like it and the angrier I got.

Thanks guys, sometimes ya just need some other opinions that aren't your mother or a good friend. :notworthy
