Exploratorium
Apparently, I’ve been set up with an exploratory interview for Friday morning. My manager wants me to have career growth opportunities and my current area has a lot of tenured employees that make it harder for me to advance. I guess this is just to find out if I’d even be interested in changing positions… they don’t even know that I’m fully qualified for the position they’re trying to fill.
I’m a little hesitant — probably because I’ve carved out a very comfortable niche in my current work area. I like my coworkers and I believe I have their respect — I don’t like the idea of stepping into something completely different and knowing nobody. Not without a good reason for motivation. It was different when I was looking at moving across the country. It was different when I felt that I wasn’t appreciated for the work I did in my current job role. But things have been pretty good these last couple years and I don’t know that I want to jeopardize my current stable roll for the chance to further my career. The cost may be too great as far as I’m concerned.
But I have no qualms about doing this “exploratory” interview if it doesn’t obligate me to move forward. So we’ll see how it goes. Keep your eyes peeled for
