Have a new job offer but conflicting with school? How to navigate this situation and get advice? #joboffer #schoolconflict #graduation #newjob #careeradvice
Background:
I have 2 semesters left before graduating with my BA. Just received a job offer that will boost my CV for grad school applications. However, my summer and fall classes are already set.
Conflict:
New job schedule (M-F, 8-5pm) clashes with a 10-week summer lab/lecture class (8-4:45pm, two days per week).
Dilemma:
Employer doesn’t know I’m a student, worried about requesting two days off per week for 10 weeks. Degree not required for the role but beneficial for CV. Concerned about losing the job if I make this request.
Advice Needed:
– How to approach the employer about needing time off for classes?
– Should I take the risk or find a compromise?
– Any similar experiences and advice on balancing work and school?
Let me know your thoughts and suggestions! Thank you in advance for your help! #workandschool #careerdevelopment #timemanagement
