starting with the company on monday
and now interviewing with the same
organization for a different position
what do i
do and you know what it is it's the
difference between working for a local
affiliate
and the national company
it's the same company but one's local
and one's at headquarters
so instead of getting passed over by
national
they're still interviewing and they
really prefer working for national
so
they've been offered a position
but now that they have to interview with
the national company
so what do they do
now
unless this is a franchise
and let's say it's mcdonald's local and
mcdonald's corporate
and
i've no reason to think it is but i'm
just using an example if this is a
franchise operation you're working for a
local franchisee
no issue whatsoever you don't have to
raise the subject
but let's say it's a bank
just for the sake of argument and you're
working at a branch versus working at
headquarters it's different
so what i would say is with your
interview coming up
um
you know i would first try and
accelerate this thing and simply say you
know i've got another offer
and i've accepted it from your
organization working at the branch level
working at the local affiliate
but i really prefer working in corporate
so i want to continue interviewing and
not get closed off but i want to give
you the courtesy of letting you know
now they may say we have to let the
local affiliate know
and that brings up another problem for
you
whether or not you're prepared to lose
the job locally
to get to have the chance to get the job
at headquarters
talk it through with them
do not hesitate to do that especially
since you're talking about starting the
following monday uh
you know lay the cards open and let and
listen to what they have to say
and then make your choice because for
now you know there's a risk a
consequence
and if you pretend
that you don't have this other offer
they're going to find that anyway
because you're in the database you're in
the hr system you know they have you
started on monday they've got you know
paperwork for onboarding already
completed for you so
deal the cards openly and let them know
what's going on
