I have three workplace on my hand, one is a telephone interviewer, next is a charity office, and third is also work at a research company. These 3 places offer flexibility in time but in the first workplace,the supervisor make me very mad, always pushing me to the limit and the survey questionnaire is very long about an hour, second one I could not collect money from the public because nobody wants to donate and the third workplace is very far from my home, I need two times transport to reach there. It seems like I always end up in a bad job. I usually know how to make decision for other people, but when it comes to my case, I am at crossroads this time. Which job do you think I should take?

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, as you mentioned your supervisor gives a lot of troubles to you, it is really hard to work with this kind of person, be careful

That's a tough call, and I think only you can tell for youself which among the 3 is best for you. Try not to look at the bad side only; why not put all 3 side by side with the advantages of having that job. Then from there, you can weigh in your options well. Sometimes, the good part tends to overshadow the bad sides of a job. If still you're undecided, maybe because none of the 3 is the one you really like.
Congratulations, though. I know how tough the competition is out there in the job market. But you have 3 to choose from. You're lucky.

Part of your opinion is right. I don't quite like these 3 workplace, because they do not offer basic salary but only commission, makes me harder to survive, and if I were to select a fulltime job, it could be harder because I don't used to see people's face everyday.

We can't really tell you that. We can give our opinions but its' only that, opinions. We don't have to work the jobs, so we can't say for what we'd choose for you.
I can say I'd prefer a job where my boss wasn't breathing down my neck making me feel uncomfortable, nor would I be fit to ask people for money. The third job doesn't seem so bad but it's far away so I wouldn't take it either. I guess I'd probably have to take the second one if it was myself. However it's not.. so listen to your heart.

yeah I think you should not take your supervisor personally. I think you should not take a job far away from your place. If possible find a better job close to your house. you will save traveling time. You can continue this work but keep trying to find another which will give you job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is very essential because otherwise, stress and tension at work starts affecting your lifestyle and health and will end up in low self esteem. hope you will find a solution fast. have a good day.

If you don't know which of the jobs you would like to take, I think that it is always a good idea for you to imagine that you had taken each of the jobs and think about how happy you're going to be in those jobs. I would always suggest that you should take the job that you would enjoy rather than one that you just take because the money is a lot better, as you wouldn't be interested if you didn't like the job and then you would be unhappy in your work. But only you can make the decision, and you should stand by the decision that you eventually choose to make.

I would take only one job, the one you like best, for the time being. And see if you can cope with it. Meanwhile, you work online (I earn $100 a month working at several sites) and keep checking if there´s another work you like better. Remember that you have to take care about your health first.

just listen to your heart then decide instead of taking opinions from others .. if you enjoy a given work for the rest of the day , despite troublesome conveyance issue u must join because at the end you will be satisfied
