You guys ROCK, thank you so far!! No news yet though! But, it is the holiday week here...

Had a working interview Thursday. It went really well I think (I actually hit the vein this time when they asked me to do a blood draw). Everyone seems so nice. It sounded promising when I left; she said she would take care of some things this weekend, give my references a call, and I should be hearing from her some time this next week.

The only part I'm worried about is a) they do film radiographs and I haven't developed film except one time in school; and b) How do I tell my current boss???? She won't take the news well and will claim I'm not doing well with communicating with her etc etc etc, why haven't I brought up any of these concerns before (which, truly, the main concern is pay). I won't accept the job offer right away, will ask for a day or two to think about it, tell my current boss and give her an opportunity to match their pay. If not, I will give her my two weeks and accept the job with the other clinic. Does this seem appropriate?

That seems perfectly acceptable, and hopefully you will be able to get the better job, and better pay.

You can easily explain it has been a while since you have done a radiograph, would they go over how they do it at their practice, and I am sure they'd be happy to teach you. Every place tends to have its own procedures anyway ...

No. It doesn't seem appropriate. I thought your 'issue' was about more than $$? I thought it was about $$, the distance, the fact you aren't appreciated/respected, and there is no growth for you there??? Why make it just about $$? If she wanted to increase your pay, she would have already done so, not under threat of you walking out the door, right?

I would - if the terms are right- accept the new job, and give two weeks notice. "How to move on to another job" was the title of this thread. She isn't your mother, your friend- she is your employer. You owe her what she owes you- courtesy and respect. Move on, already.
