| Post subject: | Change in Jobs? |
Since i was 18 years old i've worked in a small animal hospital as a veterinary technician. Now here it is nearly 10 years later and i find myself with a dilemma. I stumbled across an interesting sounding laboratory job (not an animal testing lab but a running animal bloodwork lab) and something told me i need to apply for it. Now i'm nervous. The interview is thursday at 11:30am and i'm worried, i've been so loyal to my vet hospital i'm afraid to leave, but if this place offers more money it might really help me in getting a house. Any suggestions to calm me down? |

You must have in your mind that you have a job and nothing to loose. You only can win the job, but not loosing the job (you allready have). That makes me always relaxed. Maybe a lousy tip for you, but it works for me. Go for it! And i hope for a good positive result for you. |

Why do you feel like you owe your loyalty to the place you work now? |

Thanks Dutchy Jack: Well i just have a bunch of clients that only come to see me because they love how i take care of their pets and that makes me feel good that people like and trust me that much. |

RG, You should do what's best for YOU, not your employer. I made a semi-forced job change at the end of last year/beginning of this year. It was totally worth it, but I thought long and hard about it and it stressed me out a lot. But as I look back on it, it was one of the best decisions I've made. |

Thanks guys, I'm suppose to hear from them on Monday. Its not like i don't have a good job now, i'm just looking for a bit more money so i can be comfortable when i decide to buy a house. I figure if its meant to be i'll have it, if not i just look when the opportunity arises. |

Well they decided to go with someone else, unfortunately the odds were against me since 65 people applied for 2 positions. Its ok at least i still have a good job, i'll just go back to my original plan of looking for an increase in pay (or a different job) when i finally buy a house. |

You did your best. You can take this experience with you to the next job interview. Good luck. |
