Quick advice on job interview today?
marbogvht asked:
I’m going on an interview for a construction job that’s in my previous industry, and I would make a comfortable transition. The pay would be enough to get by, but the catch is I would probably have to use my own car, and tools, which I’ve never had to do before. I don’t think my insurance covers me for a work vehicle as I only have liability.

Second. I found out through my unemployment office yesterday that I probably qualify to go to school full time, and collect benefits. They said as long as Im full time I don’t have to look for work. I’m currently enrolled to go into Environmental Technology, as construction is in the toilet.
How should I approach this interview today. Can I afford to be critical, or negotiate high? Should I not roll the dice with my car insurance, or unemployment?
I’d go to school, and collect benefits. It sounds like this isn’t your dream job, so I’d go for further education instead. After earning your degree, you might get that dream job AND the pay that is better than “just getting by”.
No question at all! Go to college and switch careers and get into what you really want to do! Best of luck!
Well if you like the school idea and unemployment is enough to get by, then go ahead and be critical and negotiate high at the interview, what have you got to lose? Also are you willing to put your car through all that wear and tear without being compensated for it?
