You're giving job Bs dick to much control over the situation. Assuming they're as desperate for quality employees as most places around town, they'll fold almost every time.

Now if the job market were a little different right now or it was a hard to get job the approach migth be a wee bit different.

Just outta curiousity what industry were the jobs you were applying for in?
Im in Van, so the employers aren't desperate by any meens. The jobs are both sales related but in very different industries. I don't wanna say too much incase some of them read here.

For the one I really want, I have an "in" as my friend does the same job in CGY and recommended me to his boss.

So, hopefully I made the right choice and I will post an update after the interview.
