Possible job opportunity with Corning out of state but how can I convince my significant other to come along?
We’re not married or engaged but we’ve been living together for 2 years and things are good. He hasn’t found his calling yet so he’s basically been bouncing around the last 3 years trying to build a career in different industries. I have a career opportunity with Corning Manufacturing that I’ve been after for over a year now. I kept it a secret because I wasn’t sure if the job offer would be a reality but things are looking hopeful. I not good handling conflict but this is weighing down heavy on my mind and I need to find a way to approach him without making him think my career goals are more important than his. Any suggestions?
Well first u set him down and tell him your thoughts and ideas about this job and then ash him what he thinks about it and If he thinks it's the way u should go just come out and ask him if he would make the move with you
Could be a tough conversation depending on how serious your relationship is Linda. I wouldn't wait until last minute to bring it up.
I hear plenty of couples supporting the best possible career option in the relationship these days. I think it makes sense to relocate for a better job opportunity that will help family plans. Keyword is "Family". That might be the door hesitant to open but that's basically what your asking.
How did the interview go? Did you get the job yet?
Until you have an offer letter in writing, I wouldn't focus too much on thinking about approaching your boyfriend.
Focus on getting the job offer, that should be your #1 priority. Send a thank you letter after the interview. Keep in contact with the Hiring Manager and the person who interviewed you.
If you get the job, you might want to post on https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships since this seems to be more of an relationship question than a job question. They will have better advice for you the relationship aspect of your situation.
Talk about it right away, don't wait.
