I'd like to at least try this second one out but I don't want to cancel the first one in case I end up not getting the second one and then having that what if in my head

I could try to see if tomorrow's can be rescheduled for a later day next week so I have my preferred one first I suppose

If it was me I'd probably do both and not reschedule anything, but if I got offered the job for the first one before having the second one... it depends, do you know when you'd actually start? Because you could always accept it, but then back out of it if you get offered the one you'd prefer afterwards. It's an inconvenience to them obviously but you have to put yourself first when job hunting and finding the right thing for you imo.

No idea on start dates yet but I'd imagine quite soon. And yeah the more I think about it the less I like the idea of rescheduling, I have some other things to get done afterwards tomorrow too so it's just convenient while I'm already out and about

I just hope I'd actually have a chance to go to the second one if I did get an offer and it wouldn't be a case of "Okay you start on Monday" but that's not likely

They're both brilliant opportunities for me though so I should be glad I've got two chances

Yeah that would be the only problem really if you had to start monday, but it's probably unlikely... and you could always pull a sickie on your first day

I've actually realised tomorrow's isn't really much less convenient after all (and Monday's is for a Christmas job, the first might be permanent but I'd have to double check tomorrow) so dilemma solved, if I'm successful with these assessments I'll just go for the first one that gives me an offer
