Interviews

Yeah so I know that this is not on topic with what was suggested we write about this week but I soooo need to vent. I have been looking for a job for the past few weeks and finally got some responses and interviews lined up for this week. I had two on Thursday, one at 9 am and one at 11 am. Again, I had two today, Friday, and again they were for 9 am and 11 am. Growing up I was taught to ALWAYS show up early for interviews as it shows good work ethic and punctuality. So I was 15 minutes early for my 9 am interview on Thurday. I know I would wait, which was fine with me; at first. With out the 15 minutes, that I knew I would wait, they left me to sit there for an additional 45 minutes, without letting me know or informing me that the manager was running late. After that wonderful wait, I finially went back to the front desk worker and let her know that I was still waiting for my interview. She goes "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell her that you were waiting. She just started another interview so it will probably be another few minutes." I said "OK." All the while thinking, "you have got to be kidding me! Because of you she probably believes that I was either not showing up or just late, which will look back for me." So after waiting for another 5 minutes, I finially got my interview. This interview was not the greatest but as it was for part time front desk work, I wasn't too concerned. My second interview on Thursday went really great. Again I was early, but I was able to get in right away. After a really good face to face interview, I performed a hands on massage for the manager. After the massage, she commented that it was a really great massage. She then continued on to offer me the position. I told her that I would need to think about it as I have worked for this company for 4 years (although at a different location) and would like to look at my other options. The manager stated "I totally understand why you want to look at your other options. Why don't you let me know by Monday?" I agreed that I would let her know. My third interview was at a salon. In all my years as a massage therapist, I never wanted to work at a salon but, after arriving and looking around, I started to realise that it may not be too bad. Again, I was early for this interview as well however, as I was waiting, they had me fill out an application, instead of just sitting around. I filled out the application, turned it in and was immediately brought back for my interview. Again this interview went really well. Again, I was offered the position, and told him that I would like a day to think about it as I was offered another position and still had one more interview to go to. He said that he understood and that he was going to give me his home, cell and office number so that I could let him know as soon as I knew. My fourth interview was a complete and utter JOKE! Again I was early and again I knew that I would wait. This time I waited for 30 minutes before the receptionist came to me and said "Dr. Kyle is not coming in today. Would you like to reschedule?" I looked at her and said "You are kidding me right? You have me wait for 30 minutes to tell me that he isn't coming in today and you are asking me if I want to reschedule? He or you should have called and told me this morning before I wasted my time by coming out here for an interview that was not going to happen." I do not usually turn down interviews but I was honestly beyond PISSED OFF and as I already had two job offers, I let it roll off my back like rain off a duck's back. So now I am faced with the decision of what job to choose. Do I take the job that is going to pay me $15 per massage that I do with benefits (that aren't that great) after 90 days or do I take the job that will pay me $12 per hour (no matter what) with no benefits? Being as I have a two year old son and my fiance and I make employment decisions together, I am not sure. I have no idea which one would be better for us for the next year while I finish school. This is one decision that I am not sure about. I know that I am a little off of my topic of interviews but oh well, what can you do?
