Should I take this job or not?
Posted by admin under: Polls & Surveys .
I worked a temp position for a company for 10 1/2 months and then the company lost a contract& 200 temps were let go. I have been collecting unemployment since Mid-September & can collect until March, and my husband and I are fine on money until about May. It’s not fantastic money but we are good.
The company called me & told me they are bringing there 6 favs back for 8 weeks maybe more. The thing is is that it’s a MINIMUM of 50 hours a week with a great chance of having to work weekends.
I am having a hard time with this decision, it’s great money, but I am not sure what to do. The thing is is that I have a few medical problems (including chronic fatigue) and I tend to get burnt out. I am so afraid this many hours will kill me OR i am afraid the job duties are going to be extremely boring or repetitive, it’s nothing i’ve done before. This many hours will not allow me to interview for other positions during this time. I can collect unemployment again if i stay until they lay me off again, but if i quit or am fired i cannot collect again.
Please help?!? Should I take it? Or just stick with unemployment and trying to find something permanent?
Hoping for many answers!

hey, well you have to think this through. i would call them and tell them that is it possible to work less hours? you are very lucky you have a job to fall back on and unemployment.
