    Job Advice!

    This long process took a couple of months. I was really excited about it all. Fast forward to May 1st when I interviewed. Went well. Didn't hear back from them till the 12th. Got the call, I was their second choice. I was pretty bummed out. Well lower than I ever have been about not getting a job.

    Today they call. The guy who had taken the job declined it today.
    They offer me the job.

    I had mentally moved on to another job offer.

    Now I don't know how to feel about being their second choice.
    I'm a big boy and been doing this a long time. Don't know what to do. I told them I would let them know by Friday. I better start praying about it!

      I wouldn't feel too bad about being the second choice. There is no telling why the other guy was the number 1 pick over you. Don't sell yourself short and let pride cloud your judgement. If it's a field/job you know you will excel at and enjoy take it. There is a lot to be said for being happy in your job. It sounds like you were really excited about the job opportunity so my thought is take it, don't worry about being the 2nd pick.

        If you want the job take it, if not, move on. First, second, third choice part is irrelevant.

          Who cares what choice you were. That's just an ego thing. If you want the job, accept it.

              If you feel the job is the right fit, dont let the circumstances of you getting the job get in the way.

              I'm surprised they even told you that you were the second choice.

                Take the job it's still something you want. Being the second choice doesn't mean you're not the 'best' person for the position.

                    If the job is a good fit for you, I wouldn't let being 2nd choice get in the way. Sounds like you may have been God's 1st choice for the job if it worked out for you after all.

                            Just remember, interviewing is very subjective. Meaning the person(s) interviewing you may not be the best interviewers. Take it if you want it.

                              Pray, decide, don't look back. Bon chance.
