Too many options!
 
I've been looking for a new job for ages now, and had a few months of no luck so applied to loads and loads of jobs in one hit.

I had a second interview today for one of them, which went quite well, just waiting to hear back. It's a job similar to the one I'm in now, but a lot closer to home and with a MASSIVE payrise. Job looks OK, possibly a bit dull but it's what I do now so know it will be OK and I'm capable of doing it without too much hassles.

I got back from the second interview, and had an email in my inbox from a job I applied for ages ago asking me to go in for an interview. It's a tiny little payrise, but again nice and local, and could potentially be an awesome job doing something I know I love (writing content for the website of a large national bookseller). I've agreed to go along to the interview next week.

Believe it or not, about 10 minutes ago I had a voicemail from someone who had previously offered me a job that I declined. The job looks interesting, but I'm not sure on the guy, the location (train only with really bad train times meaning I'd get home late)... it's a pretty good payrise (not as good as job 1, but better than job 2). But he wants to "rediscuss" things so I guess potentially there might be more money in it.

I'm not complaining, having good stuff on the cards is awesome... BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

go to all the interviews anyway.
see which ones you get accepted for and then work out which is best suited to you. its a good ting you have so many options. it means you have a better chance of doing the job that will make you most happy

Often this kind of thing sorts itself out!

Yea, I'm going to go to this other interview before making a decision... it's just my head's feeling a bit inundated with info, and fried!

Like having to make excuses.. if I get offered the job I interviewed for today, I'll have to "put off" answering them until I know if I've got this other job I'm interviewing for next week so I can make an informed decision etc etc

Argh! Like buses! :D I'm sure it'll work out, just a tad confused atm! :)

Well, I didn't get the job I had a second interview for, so although it's disappointing (was going to get a new car with that payrise!), it's sort of made life easier!

Going to really go for this copywriting job, as tbh I think it will be perfect for what I want to do. If I don't get it, I guess I have the previously declined job to fall back on...

Hmmm. "Meh" job with MASSIVE payrise (will be able to afford a brand new Alfa Mito Cloverleaf HNGH) but slightly shitty location and unsure on new boss.

Or really local, pretty much dream job with no real payrise. Hmm.

I know what I should do... but it would be so nice to pay off my debts then get a new car/holiday etc...
