I am graduating college in about 4 weeks!! I had a job interview a MONTH AGO. It's my own fault... I just wanted to do one thing at a time and not apply to a bunch of different places all at once.
I had my interview, and it sounded good. They said to me I'd find out exactly after the following week because the next week the person was going on vacation. So I got into contact with them at the beginning of the week they got back and they told me it depends on if they get a certain client whether or not they'd be able to pay me, and that they would tell me the next week, which is this week. And I heard from him yesterday. Said I'd start out ONE DAY A WEEK while I'm still in school supposedly and that they couldn't pay me as much as my last internship (this is NOT for an internship...)
He is driving me crazy, I am so stupid for not applying other places. He wants to pay me less than what my last internship was which would be low.
And wants to start me off at 1 day a week while I'm in school, which he brushed that past me at the very beginning, but I wonder, does he realize that after I give my 2 weeks notice at my current job it's going to leave me with 1-2 weeks of that?
Like I wonder if he'll pay me really low. And what if he doesn't give me full time hours when I'm out of school?
He's calling tonight because he wants to see some more of my work. More layout kinds of things which I do mostly logotypes and have told him that when all I had to show are logotypes, so it's a huge pain because tonight I have to bang out a few things to show him if tomorrow is even okay to see him.
If tomorrow isn't I probably won't meet with him again until Tuesday and Thursday is TG. I can only meet with him T/TH because it's my availability during the day because of work and school.
Like I feel as if I totally screwed myself over and have been DESPERATE when I don't need to be.
I don't think I should be paid less than my last internship was (again, this isn't for an internship) and just his personality, he's all over the place... I mean this whole process has taken a month-- so far.
I still have to talk with him and he said he'd contact me today, which means LATE so I'm stuck waiting. I call him first but he said he would be calling me for me to find out and now wants to see all kinds of other work that I have to create to be done for tomorrow if it's still okay.
Sorry if this was long, but am I being too picky? Would I be stupid if I change my mind about this place? It's tough also because I need to be full time to receive benefits and not be penalized come January. My current job I'd probably have to transfer because they don't have the hours, but they know I'm looking so they might not want to invest any more time in me.
I feel like I'm in trouble though.. I mean, is a month normal where they keep getting back to you? Is that too long? I just feel like I'm going through an awful lot of trouble just to find out if I actually have the job... which is really important.
Also, what if I'm hired and I hate it (hate it as in my fears are true about my impression of this guy/place)? Would it be horrible for me to leave a month later if I found another job? Is this normal to do when you're just starting out?
