I need YOUR advice. Yes, YOU!?

Question

Okay, after 3 weeks of applying for a part-time job everywhere, I finally got hired at Universal Studios Hollywood as a food cart vendor--minimum wage ($8 an hour), under the hot sun, but hey, the location's fun.

Tomorrow's the orientation and I was all ready for it but... this morning someone called from an independent company responding to my job application. The salary is much better; the location is air-conditioned in an office-setting. But the problem is the job interview is on the same day as the second day of training at Universal Studios. And it's mandatory to go to training.

So should I stick with mediocrity and accept the job at Universal Studios OR should I risk going for something better, but I don't know if I'm going to be hired or not at the other job?

Answer 1

If the potential company is truly interested in you, they should be willing and able to interview you at a different time or date. The company should be impressed with your personal integrity and loyalty because that would be the type of person they want to hire. Stick to your guns and continue the training. If the new job is meant to happen, it will. If they can't accomodate your schedule to interview they obviously aren't the kind of company you want to work for... air conditioned or not. If you can't have the best of everything, make the best of everything that you have. Explain your situation to the new place and let them decide if you are the responsible kind of employee they are looking for. You are the kind of person that I would want on my team.
