    so i've done a year of college and deferred that course and i put on my c.v that i'll be attending another course in the acedemic year. it was a general c.v and i handed it to most places. now, i got a call to have an interview for a factory that has 3 month contracts. i'm worried that i won't get the job (which is much needed tbh) because it will conflict with college. what should i say in the interview, am i nervous over nothing, will they work around my needs or what.

    Take the job and worry about the details regarding school when you know your schedule. You'll get a good 2 months out of your 3 month contract before it becomes an issue

    what im worried about is that i won't be given the job because they'll think i can't do both at once.

    So don't tell them about school

    Well if it's on your CV then they know about it, and they wouldn't have called you in for an interview if they weren't interested. think you're making this a bigger problem in your own mind than it actually is. Go to the interview, if you're offered the job, take it, and see how things pan out regarding school. If you need to leave the job then so be it, it's only a 3 month contract position
