Offers

Man, that was weird. I just got a call from the place I had an interview last week to offer me the job. Now that in itself is not off I guess. Well, actually, going by my current form it is a bit on the odd side.

But what is odd, is what I said. It caught me completely odd guard and I think the whole call lasted about 20 seconds. What I said was I was waiting to hear back about another job interview and I’d call him back first thing tomorrow.

Now, I’m not actually waiting to hear about another job, but even if I was I wouldn’t have said this. Cause then if I were to accept this one then they’d assume I got knocked back for the other one. What I usually say if I want to think about it overnight. But I’m pretty sure I’m not going to accept it, and I guess that was blatantly obvious from the short call and no immediate answer.

I’m also thinking that I wasn’t top of their list since they said they’d get back to me at the start of the week, and it’s now most firmly the end of the week, so I guess the other person (people?) they offered it to have also turned it down.

Shame, as the guy who interviewed me was a nice bloke. And the company is a very high-profile lot (at least here in Scotchlandia) and it would be an interesting company to work for. However, the job itself doesn’t sound that interesting. Don’t think it’s the one for me.
