Can I have some advice? I've asked my mentor and TES and they have given different responses. This is all hypothetical...
I have an interview tomorrow for a support tutor job. I do like the sound of it and the idea of having my own free time is nice. However, at some other point in the week (TBC) I have an interview at a lovely school that I haven't even applied for but got an interview based on recommendations. They are giving me a solo interview because I'll be on holiday for the actual interview date, so that's really nice of them.
If I got offered the support job tomorrow and accepted, then got offered the teaching job afterwards, what do I do? I am totally stuck. My mentor has said it is acceptable to back out of a support job because it's non-teaching so one months notice. I, however, would feel terrible doing this, and it's at an excellent college where I don't want to ruin my name. However, I don't feel that I can back out of this teaching interview because my mentor has basically set it up for me.
What do I do? TES tells me it is totally unacceptable to back out of any accepted job, regardless of if it's non-teaching, and I agree tbh, despite what my mentor says. I'd feel awful.
