One of the (perhaps) more interesting questions from Monday was:
if we were to offer you both of the jobs, which would you prefer?
Nasty question of course. I can't really not say I don't want the one I'm in an interview for; on the other hand. Should I fail to get this post and have to start again in a couple of weeks, how do I defend it being my second choice?!
In the end I could only plump for honesty as I said "this one", mainly because I'm about to move into that subject area in my present post and would enjoy the stimulation of the change.
I didn't add that I wasn't that sure it would make much difference really. With job #1 they'd get the advantage of my freshness and enthusiasm; with job #2 they'd get the advantage of my 11 years here. Unfortunately, if I were in there shoes, I know which I'd pick.
