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.

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?

The only time I took work when I was unemployed was when it was under the table. I knew I would be looking for work in months to come, covering a pregnancy leave, in a line of work I never worked in for my sister's firm. So I collected EI benefits, past the limitation now for me to say it, and let me get me back on my feet. If I had said anything, I would have been cut off from employment benefits (sad term Canada has for unemployment), and my EI would have been given more time. So I gambled, they wouldn't find out, saved, and found work again?
