Default What Would You Do?

So heres the situation

you and a close friend have both been put forward for the same job, what would you do if you got the job and she didn't and vice versa would you go for the interview in the first place?

Yes if your friendship is strong then neither of you will resent the other getting the job or even not getting the job. Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition.

Dog eat dog world I'm afraid.

If its an everyday office job and the friend was jobless and desperate It would make me think.

But if its a great job which are few and far between then its a no brainer.

Only a girl would pose that question!!!!!!

Of course you go for the job & when you get it you utterly humiliate your friend at every opportunity...don't you???? ;o)


Or, better yet, you offer to pay for them at the pub/restaurant etc because you know they don't have much money!!!!


Or is that just me?

Depends how much you want the job in question.

Personally I'd go for it if its something that I really really really wanted to do. If it wasnt then I doubt I'd even apply for it in the first place.

As long as the other person knows you are applying to and you dont hide anything from each other about the situation then I cant see its going to do anyharm.
