Is it a job you really want/need?

If yes, cancel the ski holiday or contact your insurer/travel agent about a change of date or cancellation. If no, go on holiday :wink:

Fly back for the interview, if the employer won't shunt your interview into the following week.

that's a terrible predicament.
I do agree that it depends how much you want the job, or, more importantly, how much you need it :shock:

A world class employer would accommodate your situation & reschedule the interview for you, if they wont you have to question what type of employer they are going to be.

^Probably one who won't have a shortage of suitable candidates applying for the job :wink:

I would contact them, and ask about rescheduling. If they say no, and you have to cancel, you can remind them at the interview, to what extreme lengths you are prepared to go, to work for them. You never know, there might be a skier interviewing, who would recognise your sacrifice.

It is all so complicated, I resigned from my previous job withour getting another one first. Financially at the moment I don't need to work until April (Which is when the new job would start). However we are relocating and if I sell my house and buy the one we're after then there's no rush to get a job for April. We have several viewings booked in for our house.

The other thing is that the interview is for my second choice school. The interviews for the school I really want are on the same days (shortisting hasn't taken place yet but it's the same authority, same person spec and same application form so I think I will be offered an interview)

I have spoken to the TO, they have been very helpful and said they would let me change the holiday and also said that there is no rush to make a decision yet.

I soooooo don't want to change my holiday. I'm praying that I'll get an offer on the house in the next week, then I can take more time applying for a jobs.

Eljay, can you do one of your 'hokey kokey...tra la la' dances for me please?! :lol:
