Mrs' Job Interview

Mrs has a job interview next Monday, for the 'Children and Families' worker at a nearby Methodist church. It's basically doing what she does for fun at our church, only she would be paid.

The good:
  • It's just her kind of thing.
  • It's just at the end of our road.
  • the description says 'no driving required'.

The bad:

  • It might draw her away from our own church
  • It might conflict with duties at our church
  • It includes the Youth Worker role - not really her thing. She does babies and parents.
  • It might be one of those jobs where they already have someone in mind and have advertised externally only because they have to.
  • The church is less Evangelical than ours, with a greater emphasis on infant baptism which is generally regarded as 'not what God intended' at our Anglican church. Mrs would be the liaison for families on the baptism register - a hard role when she doesn't believe the theology behind it.
  • Childcare issues (but they are less with this job than others she has considered)

Anyway - she is in a good place - happy to take on the job, but faintly relieved if it doesn't come her way. So she is a winner either way.
