Should i look for another job in this bad economy

Question

I have a great job at a accounting firm, i just graduated college and my job is about 40 miles away from my home. I took this job because i was fresh out of college and need experience. Now i feel that its time for me to make a decision, to find a job closer to home in this bad economy, or stick it out and save money and move closer to the job i already have. People are losing their jobs left and right and in july the reports were 51,000 layoffs this month, what should i do?

Answer 1

The obvious is answer is to look for a job closer to home before quitting your old job. Theres no harm in looking right? If you dont find something, stay put. If you do, well kudos to you. Time to move on to better things. Good luck to you!!! : ) : )

Answer 2

Hi,

If your company offers room for advancement and a great benefits package and you like it there, I would consider moving closer.

If you feel like you could find something better, I would look, but be VERY careful.

I have been working  a seasonal job for 3 years. I am now trying to get back in the workforce and it has been crazy.

Crazy is not the word.

I don't know if these interviewers have lost their minds or what, but I have had some wacky interviews. I keep my family and friends entertained with my stories. I don't know why this is happening, but it was not this way 4 or 5 years ago. Nowadays, they do not want to pay, the benefits are not very good, the companies seem stressed and some of them require 3+ interviews to get hired, which can take a couple of months.

So, depending on where you live, I would be careful. If you do get an interview, research the company and make sure it is the right fit, esp. if you are happy now.

Forty miles is rough to commute, but if you move closer, you won't be far from friends and family.

Good luck! :)

Answer 3

If it works, don't fix it!

However, I would not like that drive.

Better to drive and have then not drive and not have!
