Applying for 2nd jobs

Few weeks ago, I have written to my college and have asked the coordinator to help me to find a job.  Just yesterday, I got a reply and was asked to write to Hillsong organisation.  Basically, Hillsong runs a church services, but they also have medical center which focus on mental health.

I have submitted my application today, however, I noticed there may be some obstacles in either getting or doing the job.  First, the potential mentor only works weekdays during office hour. With my current job, it's impossible for me to do 1 or 2 day voluntarily work during this time.  On top of that, the professional counselor does not work on weekends.  The most, I can work after hours meaning from 5pm onwards for few hours with certain client.  I was expected to perform the 1 on 1 with the client and keep a diary of my client.

I only foresee challenges as I knew my current corporate role is very demanding of my time. I am expected to answer anytime when they need me even after hour.  Though I can reject, but it's just simply expected out from you.  Now, how can I balance the jobs not even considering my life.

One way out is to check my bank balance and check if I could survive without the corporate job for a year.  Focus on my study and voluntarily work, then only I will decide if I still want to go back to the corporate world.  It is a very tough decision but it all depends on how much and how long I could survives on my own.
