Hi there all!<BR><BR>Just looking for abit of advice really. I currently work as a purchase ledger<BR>clerk for a large company, and basically ive had enough. I have gone through an agency and they have an interview lined up for me, it would be doing bank recs, tax returns and things like that. I would also be on alot more money, but i would have to quite abit of traveling. Just know whether i should bother or not, as it isnt really what i want to do. It would be completly different to what im doing, and the agency said that the job is near enough mine. What does any one else think i should do?<BR>

On the one hand it would give you more experience in other areas of finance, but if it's not really what you are looking for then i would say that it's pointless in taking the time to attend. It also sounds as though the travelling would be a bind too....

I would go to the interview even if it's just for the experience.<BR><BR>I was offered a job by an agency completely different to what I was doing at that time and it didn't appeal to me much. I went for the interview, found it sounded quite interesting and ended up getting the job. I'm glad I went as I've ended up in a job that I enjoy doing (even though I thought I wouldn't at first) and am sure it is what I'll continue to do.<BR><BR>I now work in insolvency and also travel on the odd occasion - mainly London but also client sites and find it adds variety to the job and is also good for meting new people.<BR><BR>There's no harm in attending and if it were me then I'd go.<BR><BR>Helen

Many thanks for your advice.<BR><BR>I also have another problem, because it is the dreaded month end this week there is no way my employer would let me have time off, so i could attend the interview, which means pulling a sickie! which i feel really uncomfortable about doing. as the company i work for are really strict on this. The company only have time this week to see me aswell. Im really confused as to what to do!<BR><BR>

I don't think that pulling a sickie would be appropriate.<BR>I think you are uncomfortable with such dishonesty as well which is to your credit.<BR><BR>Either make an honest approach and explain why you need to go in work time, or arrange a non-work time for the interview.<BR><BR>You might find your own boss gives you more respect if you tell him or her, and may even know a job coming up in the department.

<BR>Companies understand that you do have a job already - they should be willing to arrange a 6pm / 8am interview. If you have flexi time, that is also a bonus!
