I'm a very lucky girl and this is a dilema
F**K I now have 2 jobs. 2 Full time jobs. I obviously can't keep both, but which one do I keep? I have the job I never interviewed for and know little about but is superposed to be low stress and pretty easy with better long term pay (first 12 weeks is at a lower rate) but has what could be up to an hours travel, that may necessitate walking for the full hour on occasion.
Option 2 the job at Stantander bank answering questions regarding card services which is quite diverse, with calls from balance enquires to lost cards to complaints. This job is local (very good) but the training itself is not, also I've meet lots of people who hated working there. Also from the interview (which I did very well and came across as very professional) the role play part I found hard: maths, typing and speaking at the same time. I actually forgot to fill out most of the computer form and had to do it after the call which I pretty sure I wasn't supposed to do. This gives me issue because with a real live customer I'm going to have to work out calculations whiles talking and making notes and unlike the interview I cant make notes after because I'll be on the next call.
Job 2 has a better rate of pay than job 1 for the first 12 weekd but job 1 which starts just above mimum wage rises after week 12 to higher than job 1 rises. I'm going to try walking to job one's general area today and see if it really is an hours walk. My instincts tell me job 1 is the better fit, but job 2 makes me feel so much more comfortable because I know more about it and its walking distance. Also being offered a job without an interview is also unusual enough to make me feel uneasy. In short I think i'll cope better in job 1 but everything about it makes me feel uneasy. I don't think i'll cope with job 2 so easily, but I still feel much more at ease about it.
I'm hoping a walk to the area of job one and a bus back will help make my decision. Because travel time and ease is a big factor for me. I can cope with long journeys if they are easy but if its hard to find or requires lots of changes thats going to put my anxiety right up before I get to work.
And yes I do realise being offered two jobs for the second time this year, makes me a very lucky girl when other people struggle to get even one but I really could use your opinions on which one to take.
