Job Interviews

FYI the forum - I decided against using one A3 sheet but Iā€™ve managed to do the cover page of my presentation and Iā€™m onto the second slide now. Iā€™m going to do a table of contents and then have another 6 or so slides. I hope to make real progress tonight while watching Hull-Manchester United.

Different product those sliders. Donā€™t fall into the hole

Thatā€™s not a manhole.

You have to make or fashion the machine for it to be a beastā€¦ Started that book a while back, must go back to it

Youā€™d know you prowler

No offence, but that doesnā€™t make any sense. That just indicates an excessive willingness to get the word prowler into a sentence.

I was once asked in an interview would I mind working with people of different nationalities. I said sure but when you think about it weā€™re all racists. One of the interviewers said ā€œwhat do you mean!!!ā€ to which I replied ā€˜do you live in a semi detached house?ā€™ (Yes) ā€˜ā€¦so picture a family of travellers moving in next door to youā€¦ā€™

I was offered the job.

Thatā€™s exactly what a prowler would say

@Bandage I saw this beside the vending machine today and thought of you.

While weā€™re on the topic, a word about recruitment consultants.
And that word would be ā€œcuntsā€.
If there is a more useless species in this world I am yet to come across them. I realised early on that there was no point in engaging with these muppets and got rid of them all from Linkedin. One of them told me I wouldnā€™t have the qualifications or experience for the job I have been offered. Do yourself a favour if job hunting, go direct, do not use a recruitment consultant.

None of them are species lads. Well theyā€™re all species actually. Iā€™m not sure fitzy thought this one through. That infamous temper.

So hereā€™s my conundrum guys. Iā€™ve been offered the job I want, which is situated in a perfect location. The salary is a good bit less than I was previously on, but I see more long term upside and opportunity to earn big commission from software and cloud application sales along with the traditional hardware sales. Long term I think I will earn a lot more. But it doesnā€™t start until late Feb and I really donā€™t want to sit on my arse for three weeks doing nothing.
I have just taken a phone call from another company I interviewed with who have offered me a role with a substantial salary increase, in a location that is about 30 mins additional every day. Itā€™s in traditional print sales which I have been trying to get out of and in a shrinking market where the opportunity to earn commission is a lot harder. It starts immediately.
Both multinational companies with great career advancement opportunities.
What job do I take? Iā€™m leaning towards the first.

Dont be such a cock

Oh woe is me having to take 3 weeks off

For the record, I would like it noted that I am not a ā€œsalesmanā€, I am a Trusted Advisor.

Yeah, but i donā€™t get paid for that.
