So to make a long story short, I start a new job very soon, it's a job that I haven't applied for but have simply been offered it through various contacts, and it is only a 6 month contract.
Supposedly, the manager who hired me has received my resume and cover letter, we've spoken over the phone too, along with my soon-to-be direct in line managers. Everyone seems on board with things, it's more of a technical role than I'm used to (I'm trade based and now going into an office supporting field staff + other activities), I was told the pay would be good, everything is sweet.
Well I got an official letter of offer yesterday, completed all the necessary paperwork online and sent it off, then got super surprised at the larger than expected pay (no complaints, but it did send off alarm bells). I decided to look at the position description, got overwhelmed by the specifics of the task descriptions and such (which is normal for me, hence not looking at it beforehand), and then found out that the position requires a base licence (which I hold) and a university degree (which I am currently studying but only 1/4 through).
Now my first thoughts are “just pretend you didn't see it because no one brought it up before now and surely someone would have said something if it were an issue”. Is this something I should be doing? Are there any alternative thoughts on how I should proceed with this? Is this even an issue, or is my somewhat silly ADHD brain overthinking things again and I really need not worry about this?
This is a company that I would love to continue working for and will potentially have the opportunity to continue working for when it comes closer to the end of the contract, so I obviously don't want to ruin it straight off the bat. I also have full intentions of throwing everything I have at this job, and I'm confident enough in my abilities with my trade knowledge that I think I'd be able to do the job well (if I ignore all the technical jargon in the position description lol).
Any advice?
(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post!)
