Interview scheduled Next week
I received an exciting invitation to attend an in-person interview working for the State next week. I do have have some reservations about it though.
The interview will be a group interview. I despise group interviews, as I feel it does not pay the proper respect to the individual who makes efforts and pays for transportation to attend an interview. Group interviews also do not allow for the candidate to to ask questions in private that should not be heard by a room full of strangers. Group interviews also do not allow for the candidate to really stand out and be their best self. Another point: They are distracting.
Of course I will still attend the interview. If I am offered a position, there are pros and cons as well.
PRO: 1.Secure income, after the long training period, 2. I can apply for accommodations to work from home.
3.Securing a State Pension and State health benefits are also a plus.
4. It can be a good opportunity to lead into something else.
- It is better than sitting and not working.... I really need to work, I generally love working.
Cons:
1.The Biggest hurdle - there is a 6 week delay in receiving the first paycheck for NYS Jobs. Being unemployed and no savings left to survive on; I absolutely cannot keep a roof over my head or pay to get to training with NO income for 6 weeks.
- The job pays a considerable amount less than what I have made previously.
- No flexibility with my work schedule.
- The population I would be working with will be bad for my overall mental health.... but at least I would have state benefits to afford the psych appointments and what ever meds I'll need to put up with the stress.
If offered, I would have to take the risk of the job. Like, under NYSDOL UI regulations to remain in compliance of the UI Benefits I would have to accept the job.
