Yesterday I went for a job interview with a more established
college, it is for the position of a Maths lecturer...
At first, met up with the admin head during which she bombarded me
with lots and lots of questions, but all I managed to answer
smoothly...at the end she also said she quite pleased with my
performance...then she brought in the vice principal and both of
them listened to my mock lecture. After that they told me I can go
back liao, but have to come back on Sunday to meet the principal.
He also said that they are offering the position to me already, but
have to start on part time basis first before becoming a
full-timer, which is fine with me cos I still wan to continue
teaching in my workplace now until at least around June...but when
I asked about the pay then he like very reluctant to confirm with
me 
In
the end he mentioned it might be around a few hundreds more I
think...
After that the vice principal stopped me on my way out, then he
said the principal is back liao, so she wanted to see me. The
principal started to ask a lot of questions like how do I rate
myself when it comes to loyalty for a company? So I said I will be
very loyal to a company who treats me well, then she said sometimes
the management is too busy to treat you well all the time. And you
can't expect a pay increment everytime as a way for us to show
recognition towards your work. So I said recognition no need to
come in terms of pay increment all the time ma, can just tell me
that I did well, etc. But she said we are not so free to recognize
efforts all the time. So if I want to be with this company means I
need to endure many months of "non-recognition" before they will
finally take note of me On
top of that she also said I have a bad attitude but she still wans
me to go to another interview with her next Friday. This time need
to give another mock lecture again
So basically the problem is whether I shud go for the interview or
not? I list out the pros and cons of working in this place:
Pros:
More established institution
Pay might be higher (but not much)
Less hours of teaching (dunno how true is this)
Half day only on Saturday, and no night classes
Cons:
Super far away from my house (nearly double the distance to my
current workplace)
Workplace seems like a very rigid place, the kinda place where it
is very big and a lot of ppl, but everyone doesn't know one another
More pressure to perform well
Should I go back for the second interview?
Or just forget about this altogether and stick with my current
company in hope of a pay raise?
