Hi,
Need some help here friends.I am confused this days as i cant decide asap which job i will accept or not.I have upcoming work to vietnam this november,of course singing again with my band in songgia resort hotel in haiphong vietnam but the hotel until now does not confirm it yet.Just last week i have received a job offer to abu dabhi also with a band but my participation will be more on dancing not singing.I can dance simple steps that fits the songs i am singing but i can not hardly dance as a dancer so i am confused which job i will accept.In vietnam i will be singing with a 4pc band in the hotel which is i feel and think i will fit me more while in abu dabhi i will dance more than singing.I want to accept which comes first as it is already a job and i dont want to loose chances but what if i accepted it then the vietnam hotel will confirm the work in november?What should i do?

If it was me, I would pick the job that I feel more comfortable with and know that I can do that job. Do something that you like to do and have more experience with. You said you can't dance that good as a dancer and they might figure that out and maybe just let you off. So I would pick the Vietnam job.
Now if you are really in need of money, then take the Abu Dabhi job. Just hopefully you can still do the Vietnam job if you do accept the Abu Dabhi job.

One thing for sure you can't make everyone happy. If you back out of course the band will be paralyzed for awhile, but I'm sure they will be able to find another dancer. It won't be the end of the world for them. You are a singer and not a dancer. You can't drop your dreams just cause you feel bad and don't want to paralyze their band. It'll be the same situation if you do take the dancing job and you can't do the singing job cause both jobs are being done at the same month. Better to let down a job that you aren't good at than a job that you are good at.

If you badly needed a job then go for it but you probably not gonna enjoy your work since you really not into dancing. And if you can wait for the other offer then wait for the confirmation but chances are 50/50. Either you pick the one comes first or not you are already risking it. You got the job but your not happy. And if you wait for Vietnam offer it's unsure. For me it is better to have the job that you really love to do cause in the end you feel like not working. You're earning while enjoying. How about that?

Get the job in Vietnam if everything is all set. Try to confirm arrangements and things like that. If you're not sure about dancing, then maybe you don't need to accept the offer. If and when everything about the job in Vietnam is okay, then go ahead. I've had a friend get an offer for Singapore, but there was no word about scheduling or living arrangements so he ended up not getting in to Singapore. So just to stay safe, make sure that everything about both jobs are stable and that all the details are ready. Even if it means having to take dance classes. Good luck!

It matters on the situation your in, If you really need a job due to you need cash badly and you're jobless then go from Abu dabi, but if you're not in a hurry then choose vietnam.
I have 2 advices for you:
1. Choose whatever your heart wants and be happy.
2. Pray to God for guidance leave the rest to him.

Hi there!
Hmm.. This is kinda hard. Well ask your self, can you do the job in abu dabhi? Can you really do the job "more of dancing than singing" according to what they expect? "coz they might be have a high expectation on you with in comes to dancing and you might find it difficult when you get there wherein there will no chance of turning back.
The way i see it you can find more jobs at all, what you should consider most is the right job to get into.

I've been there. Being compromised to choose an offer that my heart is not really longing for to accept but scared to lose the chance since there the other option is still pending for other confirmation that you still want to hear. But whatever decision you make, rest assured that it can't be in vain. Learning is a life-time cycle so you'll be at your best may it be in dancing or singing. Remember opportunities come and go and may never come back again.

If u are in need of money, choose the job that comes to u first because u can't afford to be choosy about it. Now that u have a confirmed option, I will say go for it. Don't wait til it's too late and u end up losing both. Much as u are not suited for the Abu dabi job, still it's something u are familiar with. Try it out and if u are able to handle it, u will have one more option in the future. If not, take it as a learning experience.

Which one do you love better? Singing or dancing? Then if money is not an issue this time then better take the one that you love doing since you won't feel that it is a job because it is something that you love. Pray that God will help you make the best choice; Career wise and otherwise. Hope this helps.

If I was in your shoes I would accept now the first work and I would decide for the work in the vietnam hotel if they would contact me!
I think that choose a work that you like is very important. It is difficult to live well if you don't like your work!

i would choose the job that im dedicated to, something that i will love doing and something im good at....cause i can do it in a best way rather than accepting something that im not sure off....
it's not about doing what you love it's about loving what you do
