And then you’ve had a nagging doubt… Is this the right job for you? Yes you were sure about it 2 weeks ago when the recruiter first caught you at lunch on a bad day at work and it all sounded great but now… You’re just not sure.
What do you do?
Talk to friends and family? Talk to the recruitment consultant? Perhaps you are even lucky enough to talk to someone who has worked for the business previously. No doubt there is a lot of temptation to pull out.
But before you do here are a few thoughts.
An opportunity
There are plenty of occasions when individuals have been offered more money, different roles and permanent jobs (which no one knew about) on the basis of their performance at interview.
Is it really wise to pass up on a golden chance to meet a future employer because you’re not sure that the job/company is right for you?
Why guess?
At the moment you are thinking that the role is not right but you are still taking time to research the role and company and speak to all sorts of people about it.
Why not meet with the person that can actually answer your questions, see the whites of their eyes and judge for yourself?
You have been chosen.
If you have some doubts about being suitable for the role don’t forget that the interviewer wants to see you. They could have chosen others to interview but they chose you once they considered your CV, skills, qualifications and experience.
Saying YES to an interview does not mean saying YES to a job offer
Remember the interview is a 2 way process. You should be interviewing them as much as they are you and just by going to an interview you are not saying you will automatically accept the role on offer.
Once you have been for the interview you might change your mind but at least you wont be guessing. You will have some information with which to make your mind up.
Yes you don’t HAVE to go to the interview but if you can then surely you should. What have you got to lose? What is the worst thing that could happen?
Don’t think it’s not right. Don’t not be sure. Go and see and know.
