keep your fingers crossed for me as I had to ask if it was OK to take 3 weeks off this summer for an already (mostly) planned vacation.
This is the kicker. The job, in my eyes, is perfect. It's a Part-time, temporary (6 months) position that was newly created and is being tailored around my strengths (new position). It's a 'out and about town' job and working from home for 20 hours a week. Pay is pretty abysmal, but this job is a foot in the door kind of thing. It will update my resume, giving me current employment without having to hide the fact that I will be looking for something else in the near future. It's a win-win.
However, my husband says, "Well, let's hope the summer vacation isn't a deal killer." He wants it to work out for me, but he thinks I should not take it if I can't go on vacation with the family this summer.
I'm asking for it, as what can it hurt to ask? But if they say, "Sorry - no" then I need to talk this over with my husband. I've applied to several professional jobs in my field (university administration) and have gotten NOWHERE as I've been out of the workforce (mostly) for the last 8 years while staying home with the kids. I worked in a nontechnical world, so jumping right back in is just not possible - period. That, I don't think my husband gets. Well, I think he gets it, but doesn't get that I need to do the grunt work (again) to build up my skills and show what I can do.
So, fingers crossed for me that it all works out so that I don't have to make any difficult decisions, OK?
Job would be working for our community association in the communications department working on taking photos writing blips for social media sites about events the CA is doing. Pretty much perfect for me.
