Decisions, Decisions....

I got a call yesterday scheduling me for another job interview.

So on Monday I go for the one in Wenatchee. The following week I do the one in Pendleton. I'm still waiting to hear back for the one in Walla Walla.

Each of these jobs are COMPLETELY different. IF I get offered two or all of them, how will I pick?

There would of course be advantages and disadvantages with each position. There is no such thing as a one sided penny. I keep playing something like the hand game of rock/paper/scissors in my head trying to decide which factors trump what.

How much money do I need to make?
How willing would I be to move?
What matters more, long term security or more perks right now with less certainty for the future?
Would I rather be a leader responsible for a big budget and supervising people or a follower as part of an integrated team?
Do I want to work for a school or a governmental agency? What are the differences?
How can I tell from an interview which job would be the right match?

Decisions, decisons. I will pray a lot and hope to be guided by the spirit, to be granted some particle of discernment so I can get the clarity I need to make the right choice. (of course, that's presuming I am given a choice to make, since NONE of them have offered me a job yet.) The next few weeks should be interesting.

  2. The drama continues, eh? And so do the best wishes for the correct answer, whatever that may be.
