I just finished all the paperwork and am officially set to start my first day of training as a cook at an assisted living facility on Monday. While I'm grateful for the job, the hours are less than ideal and the schedule is quite inconsistent. However, I need to earn a paycheck. I recently interviewed for a housekeeping position at a hospital, and they only reached out to me after I completed my onboarding for the assisted living role. They said they would get back to me this week, and I feel optimistic about my chances based on the interview. The director mentioned that he still has a few more interviews to conduct, but I believe I made a good impression. I'm in a bit of a dilemma because I don't want to leave the assisted living place in a tough spot after just a few days of training, but I also don't want to miss out on a potentially better opportunity. I'm considering asking if I can delay my start date by a week to give myself some time to hear back from the hospital. I’m unsure how to approach this without burning bridges, especially since they have strict policies about calling out of shifts. Should I just go ahead and start training or reach out to them to see if a delayed start is possible?
