Starting Over...

Let 'em down easy...

Here's the letter I just sent to the vivarium supervisor. Do I sound wishy washy?
I feel really bad about it anyway.

Hi ________,

I applied for some clinical lab positions a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't expecting any call backs because I've always been told you need special certification. Well, they've been beating down my door for the last couple of days (voicemails begging me to call them at home in the evening if I can't get to it during the day, stuff like that). I interviewed with one lab today and liked what I saw. This isn't a grant funded position, otherwise I never would have considered it. It's also expected that I come in with no training in the field.

I've decided to give them 6 weeks to make an offer. That would put us about the third week of October. I don't expect you to hold a position for me. If you still have something open I'll just apply again. I really didn't know clinical labs were an option. I'd at least like to look into it some more. I really appreciate your help this last week, regardless of what happens.

Thanks Again,
Anna
