I just started Management Training with KFC... and last night came across a job I am super interested in.
Now, don't get me wrong - I LOVE my job at KFC. The unpredictability, the fast pace, working with a team, the bad mouthing teenagers... I do love it. I am a bit over the politics of the place and I am a bit unsure about managament at the moment. But I do like my job.
Now they have invested a bit in me by giving me the opportunity to train for management and that's great - so is it bad if I go off somewhere else now?
The job with ACM is admin - not something I have extensive experience with, but it's ACM!! (Aus. College of Midwives). Considering I want to be a midwife I can only imagine this being an amazing opportunity and partial stepping stone for me. Guaranteed hours, 12 month contract.
Whereas KFC have just ditched me back to 20hrs a week - with a non-working partner that is not enough to support us. Let alone the freeloaders.
So while part of me is so keen to go management training, considering where I want to head career wise it has me wondering if maybe I should just apply... Who knows i might not even got a phone call, let alone an interview etc.
Anyway... if I work in Canberra, DF is more likely to go back to work to - also more likely to be able to get childcare AND that means sooner move back to Melbourne...
I also thought I could keep my availability for KFC to weekends and still do the training too for some extra dosh.
Go for the ACM and see what happens. Cross any further bridges when you get there - but buggered if I'd do manangment training for 20 stinkin hours a week!
Do it CM! Apply for the job at ACM. You don't want to be asking yourself in 6 months time, "What if?!" If it's going to lead you to your ultimate dream and goal then go for it. Good luck! xox
From your post I can tell you are leaning towards the ACM. THis could be the stepping stone that you need to get in the door.
You will be great at whatever you decide to do and I know you are probably feeling a little guilt tha KFC were investing time into training you up but its a big company. THey will find someone else. Sure it won be Cookie Monster but oh well, you deserve to go for what you want. Lifes too short to feel like you owe someone.
