Wow,I feel very excited today as I have 2 invitation to attend an interview with 2 different organizations. I am excited as it's been 2 years that I am out of work and couldn't wait to start back my job day at the office. One of the interview are from a 3 star hotel for the post of assistant sales manager while the other one is the invitation from a private college for a tutoring job. I was very happy as I am really looking for these 2 jobs, but now the problem is that both of the jobs are not in the same city. I have to go down to 350 km from my living city for the hotel job while the tutoring job is here. I really looking for the hotel job as the payment is much higher than the tutoring job, but the tutoring job is a good starting for a future of my career as a lecturer which I am looking for a job as a lecturer at our local university in future. My jobseeker agency said that if I am not sure to work with the company then I should not attend the interview session unless I am really looking to work with them. But I just can't let the chance just go like that without knowing the salary which I will get when I start to work with them. For this both job I am sure, I will get as for the assistant sales manager is similar to my previous job while for the tutoring job I also have experience teaching before.

Congratulations! It is nice to hear about people's dreams coming into fruition. Both sound like fantastic opportunities and while you may have trouble deciding you have the right to attend both interviews before you commit to anything. It is only fair. Employers get the opportunity to be very selective in their choice of employee and I think it is only fair the employer gets the same chance. It makes sense really because this way they are sure the employee has removed some of their reservations. May whatever happens be right for you, I'm sure it will.
