Would you take this job?

Poll - Total Votes: 9

Yes, I would take the job. It is at least a beginning to work and I can change later in a better job

No, I wouldn't work for so less money.

You can only vote on one answer.

Imagine, you are unemployed since a long time and then someone wants to employ you for a few hous in one month. You would earn 450 Dollar in this job, but because you get unemployment benefits you have to give back 350 Dollar from the salary so that there are only 100 Dollar remain what you actually would earn in your job.

Would you nevertheless take this job or would you reject to work for so less money?

I definitely would. The benefits we get out of jobs are not just money. You get skills too, something to write on your CV. Something to be able to talk about in an interview to land a better job.

@BittersweetPotato I agree 💯 % with you. Those are exactly my thoughts too.

@Loretta78 I have a brother who's been unemployed his ENTIRE life. I remember once he had a job opportunity that had to do with sales, he said he won't take it because he will only get paid commission if he gets results. I thought to myself, right there, this is exactly why you are always unemployed. Firstly, you assume you are gonna fail at getting results, so you are not even trying to succeed. Secondly, you are not realising the obvious thing, that a probability of getting paid, is better than zero probability of getting paid because you are at home doing nothing. And that EVEN if you get paid nothing, at least you can write on your cv that you worked and you will hundred percent learn a thing or two while on the job, meet new people etc.

I fucking hate his attitude.

@BittersweetPotato You are so right with everything you've said.

I have worked in my life already for lesser than 100 Dollars. But it was better for me to write in my CV that I am working in whatever for a job, that I have these and those skills....

This helped me to get the good job which I am having already since many years now.

I don't envy your brother how he handle the things with work. But I guess he's not the only person who thinks like that.

I am glad that you, his sister, thinks different. 💚
