Please any advice or opinions...
I have been job searching to go back to work after a year off.
I applied for a job advertised to be in my county and received a call back.
The interviewer talked to me a for a few minutes at which point she said I would need to travel at least once a week (this position is only a 2 day a week position) to XYZ hospital. I knew XYZ hospital was out of my area, and I do not mind the travel, so I said that would be fine.
I found out afterwards through my own google search that hospital XYZ is in the heart of the murder capital of the country...I thought it was further south, not in the city its in...
Now some of you will know which city I'm talking about, some won't, the point is, after some thought and google-ing the surrounding area and workers at that hospital...I do NOT want to go there. Am I being a baby? Maybe. I don't care. The point is I will not be traveling there.
The interview is scheduled for 9am Tuesday morning. I'm really upset because this is a great "get my foot in the door" position and I don't know why the office in our county wants to send me a hour away to this hospital when there are many more closer hospitals in our county.
I am torn about canceling, so I don't waste their time and going so they have a chance to meet me, but ultimately turning the job down, and of course not telling them that I knew I wasn't taking it before showing up. Then of course I still don't know the pay being offered. It might be really good...and would I be ok with going into one of the most dangerous cities in the country for it...???
I'm looking for the best decision career wise...if I don't go, there is no other reason for me to go in and at least market myself...
What should I do????
