Hmmm.Flights of illogic and how to deal with them.Ok I agree with the idea she has lots of insecurities at this point and things like this extended leave with a standing invite to come back,well that only magnifies these insecurities in her mnd.On the other hand such an arrangement at your former job tells a potential employer that you are employment worthy rather than a job drifter of which I am sure this employer has seen many in the employment process.Simply put Sir Russell,you were establishing credibility with this employer ,rather than sending her some sort of rejection message of any sort.
After all ,which is better, to secure employment at your new location or ultimately returning to your former place of employment?

I just drove 2,100 miles to be with morgan and left a well paying job where I was my own boss 99% of the time.

morgan decided that meant I was thinking of going back home instead of impressing the recruiter with the value my old employer placed on me.

How do I deal with such flights of illogic?
