What's the worst that could happen?

I woke up this morning to an email concerning a position I had applied for a little over a week ago. I had already done an interview and I was just waiting to hear back. The news? It was good. I will be flying across the country next week for a one-week trial. If the job is a good fit on both ends I'll stay, if it's not, i've got a return flight.

The job specifics make me both nervous, and excited about this upcoming trip. It's a 50/wk + position with potential for years of work. The job would require me to spend 25 weeks out of the year stationed out of a hotel thousands of miles away from my actual home, and the rest of the time I'd be living out of a suitcase on tour. Work is 7 days a week during the 25 week period, and of course tour is tour.. I'd always be on call. It's what I've always wanted, however I always get super nervous before I work a new gig.

I won't go into who this job is for, or what my actual role will be just yet, as my flight is still being booked and well .. things could always change. I am also a little cautious in reguards to this position because of a negative conversation I had with a friend about it. To make a long story short one of his friends had a bad experience working in a similar position with this person (but I have yet to hear her side of things, so I'm not certain about her involvement). So far everything on their end seems to be legit, I haven't had one red flag go up so I'm going into the job with an open mind, and with no expectations. What's the worst that could happen? I'll get to experience a new job, and meet some new people.

I will of course keep you updated with all of the news once I'm actually working the one-week trial. I hope that this is a wonderful job that will open doors for my career .. but if it's the opposite at least it'll be another chapter in my book, right?
