Originally posted by Pogle View PostOK, I've got a verbal offer of a contract down south - (subject to checks) starting on Monday. A
I've just been asked for an interview for another role rather closer to home, less money, but in a city centre, where i have friends with a spare room and at a push I could come home a couple of nights a week. B
I would prefer contract B
They cant interview me til next week.
How do I put off contract A to allow me to interview for contract B?
Should I just take contract A and put up with it?
Should I turn down A and hope I get B?
Contract A are still looking for more people and Contract B doesn't want to interview anyone else, so far.
Anyone else been in this situation and how badly can I stuff it up!!
Explain your relocation issues (make some up, Landlord messed up on flat etc..), make up some injury to delay a week, I've had this happen a few times in the past and usually managed to delay a week or two with child, pet, issues never been a problem.Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?Comment

Personally, I wouldn't put A off deliberately - if it happens naturally and B is a goer first, then great; if not, then take A and stop whinging about it.
As a complete alternative - get both and exercise your RoS (get someone a lot cheaper!) and make money out of both gigs at the same time.Comment

Sorry Pogs - I'd go with the one that offered the job as opposed to one that might offer you the job..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

take the offer, plus you wouldn't want to be putting on your friends for a long period of time by stopping with them.Comment
