[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 318928, member: 12163"] While I was in the promotion pool I was encouraged to take the first job that was offered to me, no matter what it was. That advice was something that I strongly disagreed with and I made it known that I wouldn't accept a job that wasn't related to my degree just for the sake of accepting it. It just didn't make sense to me and my management team kept trying to convince me otherwise. I interviewed for a couple different positions and this question came up on every interview: "I need you to work at xyz facility which is over 50 miles away, starting tomorrow, can you do it?" My answer each time is no, I cannot. To me this is way more than a loyalty question, it's a "will you be my doormat" question. Yes I will work hard at this job, but no I will not be your doormat. Of course to the interviewer this translates to "ok, next candidate please" and the interview comes to an end. I never got promoted, thankfully, and I have moved on and am working happily for another company. [/QUOTE]
