dilemma time regarding work... Currently in a job i am not enjoying anymore, i can't get enough hours and need to leave-easy enough it seems i know. Problem is i have been offered a fairly easy job which will bring in the pennies but i also have an interview friday for a good job that i am in with a good chance of getting. Next problem though the place i have the interview for hasn't opened yet so the job itself is a while off (christmas time). The job offer i have now isn't a long term prospect kind of job but it would do for a while till i found something in the future, however do i take this job knowing in a couple of months i may be leaving for something more worthwhile (providing i get it) or do i stick where i am stressed and not earning enough money until i know i have the other job and tyhe place is built-the choice seems simple but as stressed as i am i don't want to take another job only to let them down a couple of months down the line-or is life to short??

I'm gonna be blunt here * ahem * a job is but a job... we work cos we have to, not generally through love and devotion. Go for the job in question as a possible stop gap and then leave if the other job comes up at xmas.
Don't feel bad about it. It's totally your perogative to do this. Go for it!

Seriously, don't feel bad xx

i agree

[sulasmum]

I agree also, take the one and then leave for the one you really want

[esme]

That's unanimous then cos I agree too! Go for it and be richer and happier (hopefully) - good luck with all interviews!

[gwenoakes]

[sophie05]

update because i am feeling downright narky...what is really annoying is the company who i would've worked for whilst waiting for the answer from the pther people didn't want to wait for me anyway they wanted someone now! so that job is a no-go i now have to wait another 2-3 weeks before i know about this other job which then starts second week of october and as of tommorow i am officially un-employed as they can't afford to keep me anymore so spinelessly forced me out the job (long story) i have one weeks work lined up through an agency in a fortnight and that is it, the agencies say we will call when we get something so it's a waiting game again! I am mega broke and fed up to the gills i have applied for so many jobs over the last 6 weeks i have lost count how many and i have had only two replies one for an interview one was a job went internally so thanks but no thanks-thing is if you apply for a job that means you need one. It's alright for the people who recieve your details they have jobs they are earning money it is just so damned annoying that they can't even be bothered to contact you no matter what the outcome i am fast losing faith in people i am trying so hard and nobody is even giving me any opportunities, i worked my backside off for the company i am finishing with and this is how they repay me. ?I feel like i have doormat stamped across my forehead....

grrrrrr and i have to get up and work for them in the morning knowing it is my last day for the ungreatful sods (i suppose that's a good and bad thing), gonna go cuddle my cats and calm down-always does the trick and i have rehearsals tonight so i get to pretend to be someone else for a couple of hours-always a nice change!!!

hope you guys are having a better month!!!

oh no sorry to hear this. Something will come up. It's just everything has come at once. Be positive as one door closes another one opens and all that x

[karen]
