Conditionals

If someone offered me a job in USA, would I accept it?
I would like to work because I have a "pettit-job" and I don't mind where working, I might go if they had job for my husband and I, moreover the job might be situated in Washington State because I lived in Kansas for two years, therefore I enjoyed my stay but I prefer to know differents  parts of US. If I  hadn't   spent  two years there, I would not think in this way.
