[quote=Anonymous]Here's the deal- I'm leaving my current position because I won't be needed consistently for the hours I'm looking for. I went on an interview that's 12-5pm every day, guaranteed pay every week whether or not they need me, good pay, and the kids and, most importantly, the parents seem awesome. They have said they want me, and it's just dependent on my reference, which I'll be giving them tonight. My issue is, they asked if I was going on any other interviews and I told the truth and said, yes, just one this coming Saturday. They said they hope we'll have everything done so I won't need to go on this interview. So this is the thing: the other job is even more perfect schedule wise- 3 days a week from 8-6, and 2 days off. That would be amazing, the pay is $1/hour less than this one, but it's a few more hours a week and 2 of the 10 hrs each day would be overtime. It's more just having a better schedule though. I have no idea if it's guaranteed hours or anything like that, but I would definitely ask.

So I'm concerned what I should say to this family when (or I guess, if, since it's never a 100% sure thing) they call and offer the job before Saturday. I was thinking saying "I'm really excited about the opportunity to work with your kids, but I'd like some time to talk to my husband and make sure this is the best thing for me. Can I think about it and get back to you on Sunday?" And if they need an answer sooner...idk!

I REALLY like this family and it seems perfect other than schedule-wise. I like to volunteer on my time off from work, and it's much easier to do on 2 full days than just some time in the morning every day. If I get offered the other position, I guess I'll have to decide then, but my major concern is just what to tell the parents if they offer before I get to go on the interview (I would ask for an earlier interview, but the mom told me last weekend that she wasn't able to during the week)[/quote]
