Good to think about thanks for the heads up on hiring managers. Also does this mean you get to collect unemployement for those 2 weeks your off?? I know here that wouldnt work which is why i am not taking any part time work even though i am "supposed" to be available for it.. as soon as i made 1/4 of what my weekly amount is they deny benefits for that week.. Which basically means you work part of a day and your screwed..

Honestly, I'm not sure about the math or the UI rules. I just know that the rate will earn me more in a week than UI pays me in a week and it'll put new skills on my resume. In the meanwhile, I'm still looking for full time work and won't hesitate to jump if the right thing comes my way.

That is a great opp. I've been trying to figure out new skill sets or way to add them to my resume through like volunteer work but I have been gettin responses that they dont take that too seroiusly on a resume if it wasn't paid work??

Congratulations on the part-time gig! And I concur on learning to trust your instincts in interviews like that ….
