So, I am not in this for the long term. I am doing this as a means to an end while my kids are young, however I am enjoying it.
A great job opportunity has presented itself but the timing isn't right. I was contacted about a job opening from someone who works at a place I am interested in working at. They told me however that they need someone ASAP and this would mean that things would move quickly. I figured I would do daycare until Sept when my oldest is in kindergarten. How have other people handled new job opportunities like this? I would need to give notice to my families (currently I give one months notice but I am in the process of changing this to 2 weeks), find daycare for my own kids, buy a car etc etc.
I told the person that the timing wasn't right but I wonder if the timing will every be right? Daycare does not make it easy to attend a job interview or even move quickly as so many people are relying on me.
These jobs come by very infrequently so it is not like I can just plan to close next Sept and find this job easily.
Also, I am on an unpaid leave for a year from my current employer. I do not have the home daycare on my resume but I am wondering if finding employment before this leave is up is more beneficial to me as I am still "employed?"
What are people's thoughts on this? Thanks.
