Nice one Gordy well done mate. I am sure I can speak for all and say we all felt it for you. Is it something that different, same etc?

[Stewart]

"good one Fella" sorry came over all Mike Brewer there.

[Big Gordy]

Okay folks you will need to help me out here......
I need to let them know this morning if I'm accepting the offer so they can get the ball rolling.........but....... two other agencies have scheduled me in for an interview today and another tomorrow....WTF..!!! The two other jobs are a bit further away and more of a pain to get to so I'm pretty sure I'd take the one I've been offered. Here's my dilema tho.....should I phone and cancel the interviews or go to them even when I know they won't be able to get back to me in time to change anything :argh: What's the chances of 3 interviews all in the same week....sheeeesh :rolleyes:

[Gismo]

If you are happy with the job offer then i would cancel the others, wastes your time and theirs

Edit: Unless the salary is way more :Whistle:

[Big Gordy]

More or less exactly the way I was thinking Alan :thumbs up:
Money was a wee bit more on both other jobs but it all kinda balanced out once the travelling was factored in:rolleyes: I've phoned the first one and cancelled it as it was at 10.30am in Dundee which means I would need to leave NOW:p

[RobSco]

Hi Gordon

Always the same, nothing available then three come along at the same time, if I were you I'd go with my Gut Instinct, Check the For and Against list, but if you were happy with your first offer and not much traveling involved, Go For It...

What ever you do decide at the end of the day it's your decision but will be hard one to work out what's best.

What ever you do...

Best of Luck... :thumbs up:

[GCA3N]

You call the other two and explain the situation. Tell them u have accepted the first offer and it wouldn't be fair now to go back on your word. Thank them for considering you and who knows what will happen In the future.

[Big Gordy]

Thanks guys:thumbs up: You've all just confirmed what my thoughts were:smilewinkgrin:
Start date looks like being 15th Nov:yes nod: and guess what came through the letterbox this morning........a duror citation for the 23rd Nov.......WTF is going on......they're all out to get me.....lol....I'm suddenly very popular :p

Edit.......should point out that the other 2 jobs were through agency's so its not to tough a phone call.

[Craig]

Stick with the one you've been offered and cancel the other two. That way if things don't work out with this co, the others will have more respect for you if you need to apply with them later. Honesty is the best policy ;)

If you don't want to do the citation Thingy then there are a few ways out of it.

Nice one. Just get yourself a criminal record and they won't bother you again. :lol:

Maybe this could be a thread topic actually. I have had 4 juror requests since I was 20 is that average, high or low. What u recon?

[Big Gordy]

I'm nearly 51 and this is the first citation I've ever had :p

[Scottie]
