Is it normal practice that salaries (not even a range) be listed on a job posting (online or in the newspaper)? Or is this a bad sign?
After almost 4 months being unemployed, opportunities seem to be coming out of the woodwork. There are consulting companies calling me, and I’m getting interviews from the resumes/cover letters I’ve sent in response to job postings.
One consulting company, who offered me a contract to start on Monday in a town about an hour away from where I live, called me back after I declined it due to the distance to tell me the manager *created* a position for me in a town 20 minutes away. Of course, that same week, I also have an interview for a full-time position and I’m awaiting a call back from another position for which I already interviewed.
How does one handle the influx when it arrives without missing out any opportunities? I asked the consulting company could they push my start date back a week due to my interview (I was honest with them, that’s the only way I know how to be), and they said they’d get back to me.
It’s nice to know that people are finally taking an interest in me and my skills, but I hope I make the right choice (and have the opportunity to even MAKE one).
Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
