It seems like all of a sudden I have been getting a wave of possible jobs and I really don't know how to handle it. In the past two weeks I have had the following:

Passed the Border Patrol test and now am starting the process of steps leading toward employment.

Back in October I took a 2 hour online written and multi choice test for the U.S. State Department Foreign Service Brach Special Agent Position. Found out that I passed it and have to go to Boston on June 1st for some tests and interviews.

Got a letter in the mail today saying I was being considered for a park ranger position at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

I have no idea how to go about making a choice. The first two can take months to go through the process and its not even guaranteed that I would get either position. The third would be a quicker process but I would rather have one of the first two positions. Plus I have a girl friend now and it would suck having to leave her behind. Sorry for the long and pointless post, I just needed to rant.

Anyone have experience with multiple jobs? How did you go about making a choice?
I'm going to play the "nothing is set in stone yet" card. I would go to the interviews and see what is what. Right now you passed a few exams. Still have to nail the interviews and fight through applicants anyway. Gamble on all three and see what happens. I'm going to guess that things will work itself out to 1 or 2 actual job offers.

Good luck!

*edit* PS: AGAIN, don't turn down any of these leads yet!!!
