    well i may be getting ahead of myself but ...
    missed a call late yesterday evening from a school i did an interview in earlier in the week ...
    can't call back now till monday ....
    i think i may have gotten that job
    great (you'd think)
    but its part-time and half of it is in a subject that is not my main subject so i'd be a page ahead of the students kinda thing ... i think they're really struggling to fill the position which is why its being offered to me even though i'm only qualified for one of the subjects on offer
    thing is ...
    i have my name in for another job which is full hrs till the end of the year and its in my main subject area and it'd be ideal.
    interviews aren't till next week though .....
    crap
    what do i do on monday? assuming of course the school was ringing to offer me the position, should i (could i?)
    - accept this and not even go for the other interview (seems silly to me)
    - decline and take my chances (only called for interview so again seems silly to me to turn down the job i may be offered)
    - accept the position on monday but tell the principal i've an interview later in the week for a different school ( how do i even go about doing this?)
    would really appreciate people's advice ... esp if your advising me to tell principal about other interview ... how do i go about it?
    thanks !

    Third option is best . Principal will understand . You have to go with the one that you'll get more work out of .

    If offered, then accept it. But explain the situation. Principals in general will understand.

    truth is always the best otherwise you get a name for wheeling and dealing and hence untrusted.
    Tell Principal the truth, they should understand

    Apologies for being off topic but the contradiction between the thread title and the op's username is making me smile.
