The job that I applied for last week. They called back for a 2nd interview, but I turned the job down. It was a lot of traveling for my training (and I dont have the $$ to be wasting on gas right now anyways) and its not something that I can really see myself doing. I told my Grandma when I was talking to her that I really just don't want to rush into anything that I'm really unsure about. I want to find a job that I'm passionate about - or at least think I'd have a future in.
She agreed with me - and so did my Mom & Dad -at least they are supportive!

The perfect job is out there.... I know it is!
(I hope
)

I was stuck with a job I was unhappy with for 2 years - and I will not put myself in that position again!!

Good for you! What we suffer through in life makes us stronger. Now you're strong enough to know what you will and will not stand for!

Thats so very very true!! I'd rather be on unemployment and happy, rather than making a bit money and being totally unhappy and stuck in a job that I hate. Happiness is more important to me (as long as we can pay the bills
)

So about 2 minutes after I just last posted - the job I REALLY wanted to call me back just called and left a message!!
I have to call her back tomorrow - I guess things happen for a reason, don't they?

I'm glad that you turned it down...if you really weren't that into it, you wouldn't have been happy there.

I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I turned down 2 jobs before this one and so far so good.

Good luck with the company that called you tonight...you never know this could be your dream job!

Good for you, I'm sure it was a tough decision..Not many people listen to their heart like that.

Your right, you will find the perfect job

I usually don't listen to my gut - but I thought, ehh, why not
