[ Other - Careers & Employment ] Open Question : Two Job Opportunities, Which to Choose?
I handed out two resumes today at two different restaurants. One more family oriented 'X', and one very classy and upscale, 'Y.' Very different atmospheres. At 'X', I was asked to have a mini interview right as I handed in my resume. Things went very well as I fill there requirements quite nicely. The interviewer seemed quite enthusiastic and said she would call me in a few days. Then I handed my resume in with 'Y' and the manager and I got on quite well, laughing, and conversing easily. So its very likely that 'Y' will call me for an interview to work there as well. He had said that he is doing the schedule just now so people will be starting either next week or the week after.
The Problem.. I would absolutely LOVE to work at 'Y', its gorgeous inside and has an awesome atmosphere to it. My problem is that if 'X' calls me first and offers me the job a few days before 'Y' possibly does, how would I go about not burning my bridges with 'X'. I'm not the type of person to quit after they've spent time to train me. And there is always a possibility that 'Y' wont call. If I could just buy some time.. I just don't know how to? I had also told both employers that I could start right away. Help??
