A temp postion? Not quite the high flutin' position I though it was.
>Thanks, Bruce. The question was posed as when the process of hiring is going to start.

>There is another vague prospect with the decision is going to be made at the end of August or later.

>The position offered has lots of disadvantages because it's a temp position and it's somewhat a downside from the current status, which is also temporary.

>It has some pluses as the family may re-unite since the position is in a neighborhood state...

>>Hi Naomi,
>>
>>In my last career, I was a department manager and I made hiring decisions for my department.
>>
>>In the scenario you describe, if a prospective employee asked the question you are asking, my ADVISE always (no matter how qualified the applicant) was "take the current offer".
>>
>>As a hiring decision maker, I would NEVER lead an applicant to think I would have a job offer for them in the future. If a hiring decision is some time in the future, many things might happen.
>>
>>1. The project (or position) might not be filled (conditions change).
>>2. A more qualified applicant might apply.
>>3. The decision maker might move to a new job.
>>
>>Just my $.02
>>
>>Bruce
