Playing phone tag with one of the companies that i applied to on monday.  The good thing is that it's tech support (which I like to do) for a company in Northampton (which means less driving).  The bad thing is that it's only for "half-time" work.  But right now I figure that any work would have to be better than no work and at least it would be a foot in the door.  I could always work another part-time job and keep looking for something full time. 

I'm wondering if I tell them that i'd prefer full-time or would like to work my way up to full-time.  I also wonder if I should let them know about my trip to CA around X-mas during the interview or should that wait until I get hired somewhere.

This whole thing is just too stressful!

edit at 3:20pm: I hadn't heard from the place, so I called back. I have an interview at 3:30pm on Monday! Hurray!

Work is work. And on your resume it's a good thing.

Tell them up front about the CA trip when you get hired. And say it's something you've been planning for months.

tell them upfront about the CA trip.

Definately tell then that you are looking to work up to full time. It shows dedication.

Most companies/interviewers will ask if you have anything planned coming up during the second interview. Some will even ask in the first. Be truthful when they ask. If they like you and the job is a good fit then they'll make it work, and usually they don't have a problem with it!
