Which job would you pick?

Question

Okay, I've been offered the position I wanted which is a cust svc call center job. I've done this kind of work before and know what to expect.

I am also in the running for a supervisor's position at the local university.

I just received notification that I'm in the running for a clerk typist position with local government (civil service job).

My situation is:

A) this job has the highest pay; great dress code (I CAN WEAR JEANS TO WORK), has good benefits and its about 15 miles from home.

B) This job is to supervise clerical workers in a very busy, hectic office where my boss' boss would be my son's girlfriends mom. She and I are friends and she told me she wasn't sure she would recommend the job to a friend! BUT...it would be free college tuition for my 2 sons. BUT...they don't want to go to that college!! Its about $1/hr less than job A. And its 6 miles from home. State employee benefits.

C) job in a local government office in a bad section of the city about 19 miles away. Its about $2.50 an hr less than job A. It is a civil service job so I would get state benefits...

I would like Job A the best, I think. Job B is supervisory, again, and I've done that route. I don't want to worry about anyone else's behind but mine. If I make a mistake, chew me out but I don't want to take heat for slackers. Job C would be great benefits but the pay sucks and I hate that area of town...

Which would you choose?

Answer 1

if i were you, i'd deffinatly choose job A.

since u get good pay, nd u can b comfortable in clothes =P, and its close to your home, i think its perfect.

good luck in which ever you pick. =]

Answer 2

get job a

here are some other things to think about:

-which job do you get paid more?

-how many days can you work?

-summer vacation

-closest to home

thats all i can think of right now but if i come up with any other ones I'll write them down.

Answer 3

I would totally pick A. It has the best options for you. Plus I know how it is to dress up everyday! We can only wear jeans on friday! ha ha. Even though it is 15 miles from home it still the better choice. Mine is about 10 miles from home. Its not that bad.

B just sounds not that great. Even if youve had experience you can always learn something new! A dollar less isn't that much but still you would probably be in alot of stress about trying to get your work done. Even if you did take this job you would be worrying way too much about being late or doing something wrong and jeopardizing your 2 sons college intuition. Plus like you said, they don't even want to go to that college.

C just really isn't worth it. 19 miles and 2 dollars less. SO not worth it!

But like i said. choice a would definetly be worth it! Try it. even though you have had experience with B i think you should go with A because it just sounds way better and you can learn something new and have more experience in more things.

Answer 4

I would chose A. The most money and pretty close to your home

Answer 5

I would also agree with choice A, its more convenient for a variety of reasons. Its something new and will enable you to acquire new skills and techniques. Choice B wouldve been good if you're sons were going to that college AND if you haven't done that before. Since you have, go for A! Best of luck in whatever you choose though=)

Answer 6

A with B as a back up.  

Answer 7

Definitely job A.
