Either way, I don't really think it would be acting like a pushover if you need the job, but if he told you come in and is going to be like "surprise I'm not paying you" then that's a decent problem.


It's going to be hard for anyone to tell you over the internet if hes yanking your chain or actually does want to spend time making the decision to hire someone(you.) I'd say it all comes down to how bad you need a job.

He at first didn't tell me if he was paying me or not for my time tomorrow. I didnt' think at the time to ask because I assumed (never assume!! the first rule!) - I kinda just figured he would pay me for it, but I decided to call back and ask and he said. No, he will pay me if he decides after tomorrow to keep me on, which kinda makes me feel alittle annoyed, its only a days pay -

This goes both ways, but so far all I have experienced from this business owner is that his uncanny ability at indecision.

Appreciate your take too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]... I might need to run a few miles to get this off my chest before bed and before deciding if I bite the bullet and yet again compromise my dignity for the almighty dollar. I've got some savings so I could go for a few months while I continue looking, thats my other option -

The temp-agency I've been freelancing for has me in transition now for my next job and hasn't found anything for me in about a week, so its got me a little nervous too.

Consider it a site interview with the people you will be working with/for to see if it is a fit. You're leaving out the part where you get to see if you actually WANT to work there without having to make a commitment to him first.

It's one day. In this economy, some people would bite the bullet a lot harder than that just to have a job. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
