bellus quies's Journal: Wow, I'm floored.

The job in Portland that I interviewed for last Thursday called me up yesterday and offered to pay for me to come out there for a 2nd interview.

Though I do feel a bit guilty, because as things are, I'm leaning so I won't take the offer.

Excellent

That's a great position to be in -- they have to convince you, rather than you're trying to convince them.

If they're willing to do (e.g. pay :-) what it takes to change your mind, that would be a good thing, no?

True. Though I'm not sure how much incentive they can add to what I've seen of their retirement plan. I was hoping for some semblance of a pension with complete health care.

Go for it!

Worst case, it's a quick free vacation.

But seriously, when a company's interested in you and they want to convince you to take the job, there's nothing wrong with letting them try. Worst case it's not for you and you turn them down.

Let me know when you're coming out...

I can at least provide a home cooked meal, and depending on when you come over, some touring as well;-)

Perhaps. Though my sister's trying to convince me to have a hotel room party with her and the other rollergirls. I really have no idea what my schedule will be.

Let's be clear... I simply cannot compete with that;-) shoot me an e-mail when you know the dates and if I can do anything to make for a better visit I will happily do so.

Cool, thanks for the offer. I'll let you know if I have any questions.
