What to do? Advice about this?

Hey guys, I have a seasonal job (40 hour week) that ends October 31st, well I missed all last week due to finals week (im a student), and tomorrow I have a test with a local PD, but that would mean I would miss 6 total days. The job ends soon but I really wanna get on the PD but NOT lose my job as I'll probably get fired for this, the PD scheduled this test just on Saturday. What should I do??What to do?

You only have two options:





Call the Police Department and see if they can reschedule the test. Many larger agencies all have multiple dates for testing over a short period of time. Smaller agencies may not and if you miss your short to test, you have to wait months before you have another chance.





Or you can take the gamble on your job.





I don't really know what to tell you. However, being fired from your job doesn't look good when you are trying to get a police job. They want someone dependable, not someone that has been fired from another job for not showing up. A good excuse may minimize the damage, but it won't completely erase the black eye.What to do?

The best advice I can give is to pick your priorities. Which job is more important to you? You might want to find out when the PD will have testing again and the next date may work out better for you. If you get hired on with the PD, will this interfere with your current schooling? It's really all about priorities.
The police department give tests throughout the year; your job can fire you and never give you the job back.





Make your choice based on how much you need the money. If the police department is a good prospect for you and you believe you have what it takes, dump the job and start the process because it is a long one. There are several steps to go through as you probably know and they take your concentration.





But only you can make the decision, all we can do is give you advice, not make your mind up. So, if you need the money now, keep your job; if you don't take the test. It will take approximately six months to get hired on police department as you might be aware.





Good luck with your decision and I hope I helped!





EDIT: better yet, tell your job how important the test is and maybe they will understand no matter how much time you take. It may sound crazy but if they really care about you they will understand.
