Interview... Hmmm

[sb2178]

So, anybody got any advice about what to do post interview if you find yourself somewhat uncertain about whether you would want the job?

The problem is that while there are other job prospects, this one is a) the closest; subject matter I would be really enthused about; c) a great learning experience.

On the other hand, they aren't hiring until August; are not friendly to flex time (I like the option in terms of being able to take classes during the day... we're talking a predictable once a week taking a long late lunch. Not oh, I need to work really random hours.); and both underpay and expect 50+ hour work weeks.

So, what I need to decide is whether to send a thank you note saying thank you but I'm no longer interested or to send one claiming to still be really interested in the position.

Thought? Experiences?

Did they offer you the job yet? If not, send one saying you're interested. Decide when they send you an offer.

I always like to keep my options open, especially in a bad economy.

The wisest choice, but I really think that I'm not interested. Economy sconomy. A lack of flexibility as well as no answer about how they deal with allergies in the workplace indicates that it is not the place for me. If it were a small organization, that wouldn't be a problem, but they're pretty big. They should know.

I'll go work for my dad if necessary, and fill the vocational need via extracurriculars. (He does keep saying he needs another person.)
