This is more of a solicitation for job advice than a rant. Well, I have been enduring a commute of an hour each way to my job as a librarian at a community college for 5 years. I also want out for a number of other reasons I don't want to go into here. Suffice it to say I feel a bit over my head but think this other job would be simpler.
So, there is an opening at a public library 1/2 an hour from my current location (each way) and within walking distance of a house my mother owns and is currently renting to a couple. Mom and I could easily move in there when their lease is up. The pay is a bit less but the lack of commute would pay for that and it would be 35 hrs a week instead of 40, which makes the lesser pay even more not so less.
My questions are:
1. Should I apply?
2. Should I tell my boss if I apply or wait until/if they interview me?
