Hey guys,
So yh idk what to call this thread but I have a bit of a predicament. I had an interview last week for a place called Ashford Castle and was called back for a second interview which is tomorrow morning. The HR Manager came to my college for the interviews but tomorrow I actually have to go up to the hotel.
This place is 5 star, one of the best hotels in Ireland and getting this job would be a fantastic experience and will probably put me ahead a year or two of everyone else in my course because of the prestige that comes with the hotel (according to my course leader).
My predicament is, I don't know if I actually want to go... The place is 4-5 hours away from where I currently live and I can't really imagine moving away from the whole summer. I went for the experience not thinking Iwas good enough and now my head is all over the place. One of my main concerns is the gf but obv she is saying to go but yh idk
What do ye think lol
P.S. To give some of you some idea of the prestige this hotel is in the Red Carnation group and they also own Hotel 41 in London which is raned #1 of 1062 hotels in London

Take it. I'm going to be thousands of miles away from 'home' over summer. Life's too short to miss great opportunities!

Yeah but you're used to it, you're always off in India doing amazing things!

If I had to decide right now I'd probably have a panic attack lmao! Originally Posted by conservative

Should ignore the course leader Originally Posted by Phil
It is what is right for you, not the college.

Go to the second interview and do as best you can! No point in worrying yourself now as you may not even get it (wow didn't mean that to be harsh). Give yourself the opportunity to make the decision and then decide when you have to.

Take it
experience is everything, and if you get a placement in one of the top hotels in the country and a reference from them that opens your career so much when you finish uni/college or they might even ask you to return when you finish.

Do it! You'll regret not doing it when you're older! You'll meet new people and gain fantastic experience, it's obviously a bit scary thinking going away for the first time but you'll love it when you're there, and if not there's nothing stopping you coming back early
