To apply, or not to apply?

Our Director confirmed today that they will be creating a second Finance Manager post and I’m in two minds about whether I would want to apply or not.

It’s the next logical step for me and would be a boost to my CV. It’s more money, obviously. But I’m worried that it will be a case of the Director and the current Finance Manager dumping all the responsibilities they don’t want onto a new role and I’m not really fancying that.

Hopefully the advert, when it goes up, will have more detail but I’m willing to bet it won’t.

Hmmmm, what to do?

That’s a good idea. After sleeping on it, im gonna wait for the advert and then ask to speak to my boss about it before applying if anything needs clarifying. Although your point about what they tell you and reality not matching is one I have definitely been burned by before!

I know interviews at this level involve presentations and I don’t want to do all the research and prep for that only to find out at the interview that I wouldn’t want the job!
