Work...

Your chances of getting a better paying job are higher if you are already in a job

With this economy - not seeing daylight any time soon - I'll take it. Why? It's money in my pocket that I'll be able to use to pay the bills, save, whatever. But if you don't NEED the money - keep looking for a job that will make you happy. Sustainability is key! Good luck with the job hunt. In the mean time, happy mylotting. Maybe if you spend hours and hours on end here in mylot, you'll make enough to make it your full time job. Hehehehe....just kidding!

Uhm...I'm a part-timer and a bum for 1 month and 1 week and I'm desperate to have a stable work that I love. I think you should take a job that you like to do or that is suitable for you, so that you'll love what you are doing. If you take a job that you seem to have a dount, then you will not be happy and end up quitting. It's ok to wait as long as better opportunities are yet to come.(^_^)

Well, if it isn't worth the travel time and gas, It may not be worth it. And if it isn't something you want to do... Well that is tough. My husband has been laid off for almost 3 months now, and he is taking a job that is between 3-4 hours away, but he is making enough that he can probably rent a small apartment and stay there through the week. And also it is in the same field that he came out of. He says you have a better chance of getting a job if you have a job also, so I'm at a loss for what to tell you. Sorry:( I guess you will have to look at the cost of travel and your time and decide whether it is worth it in the end.

I am a computer support specialist. With over 15 years experience in computer repair, web design, and lite programming. I have spent the majority of the last 2 years unemployed. However, any job that came along...I accepted it....to include construction, mobile home repair, pizza delivery, door to door sales, flea market shop, and telemarketing...just to name a few. It's easier to get a job if you have one....and it's not good to think you are to good to accept work. I didn't make much money at those jobs, compared to the jobs I am qualified for. I did however, prove to people that I wasn't lazy.

If the job is yours take it for now as at the same time you can be looking for something better that comes your way,not just that you should feel lucky you can have a job no matter how bad it is as there are hardly no jobs.You could also hope the places shut down if is that bad.Look at it like you will at least have some money in you bank for those horrid bills.good luck

I understand how you feel.Your husband too has a valuable point there if its not going to get you enough money why bother on spending on your travel.I feel if you take up a job you will feel better mentally and your chances of meeting new people will b e more.When you meet up with people and start moving outside your home your chances of finding better opportunities are more.For the time being ts better you work on the present job that will again add some experience and you can add it on to your resume.Wish you all the very best.Get going.

In the mean time, I would take it... but also look for another job that I am interested. I dont care if I dont like it or not, the thing is money. Try to take it for now and still looking for the job that you like... then if you find one or not but you are really hate the current job then quit. I hope you find solution

It's really hard finding work nowadays. There are many jobless people waiting for opportunity. In my case i might be able to take the job even if I don't really like it because I got to pay some bills. So...I just have to bear it.

In thesee times in your place I would defenetly take this job offer because I'm also without a job for some months. At first I was looking for a job that I would like, some office job with high salary, but now I don't care what kind of job it will be, most important is that you make some money to pay the bills. When economy will start to recover you can change your current job anyway, it's only mater of time when it will happen.

For your sanity, I would certainly take the job. I was a stay at home mom for a long time before all my kids got old enough for school. It drove me nuts! I was really depressed. But with 4 kids it would not pay for me to work and pay for daycare. I just lost my job the week before last and would enjoy working from home for awhile. Just follow your heart.

There is no harm in trying. You have not yet started in that particular work. Some may don't like it at first, but when they started it, they found out that its their interest and stick to the same job. If not and if you really want to work instead of just staying at home well you can also do lots of things for you to like that job.find something interesting in that job, you may also post pictures of your family so that you will be inspired in doing that boring job, you may also make friends so that the motivation of your work is not only working to earn money but also because of the people that surrounds you at work. There are actually lots of ways, instead of just sitting at home and be bored.Its a good thing that your husband can support you but one important thing is also being productive through ourselves so that we will not find our lives boring. Have fun in everything you do. Good Luck!

i suggest you working outside,i ever had same condition as you,i had bothered my self daytime and bothered my hobby nighttime,both of us didn't happy at that period,terrible memory for me ,i didn't want to bring trouble to him ,so i have been working and find another blue sky which indeed waiting for me.

I would take the job if it was me.. A job is better then no job in my own opinion.

don't be too hard on your self. the more you hurry the more things may go wrong. there are lots of ways to earn money on line. it even pays much more than being an employee.

imajerseygirl! the point in question is: are you able to pay your current bills to avoid bad credit and collectors calling you day and night. that is what you should base your decisionon on as to weather you will accept any job that pays you a salary.the logical decision would be to accept a job paying position and in the process continue to look for a better job. this makes sense, so go for it and things will eventually work out in your favor.

Even if you don't want the job just take it for experience sake, stay in it for atleast a year, but even the year is up continue working while applying for other jobs. If you happen to get called and you're successfull after the interview make sure and always put aside gas money, even if you don't need gas right away you can still always put it in some savings and that same savings will one day come in" handy.If you don't want to work I think it's best that you start thinking about opening your own business.

I think I would take it if I were in your situation. Even I don't like it I wouldnt miss such an opportunity to work outside and get to know the real society outside. Maybe you can take the job while continuing to seek for something that you like. When some better choices come along, just seize it and get rid of this one.

i know how you feel. i have a litte child and i have to stay at home every single day.. all days starts the same and finish the same again.. i am tired from a routine and i hate that my husband is working, he makes money, and i am sitting at home and spend :D i know that my job is care about my child, husband and home.. but i like to work and have my own money.. spend where i want without the quastions =]

yeah i will grab it for the mean time. just to have cash in my pocket, thru it this is the way to your dream jos soon. this is the stepping stones as your great experiences in working. sometimes what we seek will not be the one to be given but after that u will get it.
