More job hunt dullness

Finally got the second interview set up, but have ended up with a dilemma

A job, even if slightly sub-optimal (and which you had been at least OK with the idea of up until this new shiny thing cropped up), is better than no job.

If you get offered other job and take it, as long as you leave within the first month to go to shiny job then the company who hired you first won't have to pay the agent for you (or they'll get a replacement free, kind of thing) so it'll only have cost them their time. And that agency will probably still talk to you, eventually, since they're basically driven by greed and if they can pimp you out again they will.

And you haven't actually been offered anything yet anyway.

So, don't worry, take anything you're offered and don't fret too much about where you end up.

Thanks for the calm words of wisdom and advice. This is the first time that I've done this whole "interviewing for a job with a career attached" and I'm just not clear on what's considered OK and so on. I've always fallen into jobs before so this is a completely new experience

While I'm rambling, I don't remember if I mentioned this to you before or not. Time before last that I was looking for a job it was through agencies. I had three on the boil at the same time. On the same day, one decided they didn't want me (fine, I didn't want them either) and two others offered. Whatever else I might have thought about the job I did take, it did have the advantage that the company didn't go bust a few months later.

(I don't think there's any particular moral to that, just thought I'd throw it in anyway :-))
