If you need a job and are presently unemployed then check the details and give it serious consideration. What do you have to lose ?

[wolf63]

If you take the job I hope that you like it. ,

Remember that no job is perfect and give yourself time to settle in.

Good luck.

If you are looking for a job and get offered one take it, you can easily quit if you get a better offer or dislike this too much. You stand a better chance of getting job offers in the future if you have been working rather than unemployed. Take it!

[Canary42]

Yes, take it. Then if doubts set in, you could reappraise your decision when the "make permanent" offer arises. If such offer doesn't occur then it's admittedly back to square one, but you've now got 12 weeks more experience on your CV. You can't lose really by going ahead because 12 weeks isn't very long to stick out if it doesn't satisfy you.

Abbey/ This job seems a tad different to the Receptionist posts you have applied for in the past - why don't you attend an evening Further Education class in Reception/Business Administration if there are any available in your area? At least you have a job at McDonalds for now.

[Neveracrossword]

I think Abbey mentioned, a week or two ago, that she preferred manual work.

[Hazlinny]

^^ She seems undecided as she certainly applied for several Receptionist jobs! A waste of time?

Old-Geezer,, abbeyleigh hasa job, MacDonalds I think, but is looking for something else.
Maybe try it out abbey but stay working at McDonalds on Saturdays or Sundays to keep your foot in the door incase the laundry job don't work out

// Maybe try it out abbey but stay working at McDonalds //

Is she not in danger of burning herself out?

[bobbinwales]

Burning herself out by working a few Saturdays on top of a Monday to Friday shifts? Not if it's only for a few weeks until she decides the new jobs for her. For several years I did a Saturday job on top of Mon to Friday main job to help with morgage
