If You Have Two Job Offers, Which Will You Choose?

I'd choose whichever made me happier at that time in my life. Would I want the experience, the thrill, the ability to put it on my resume stuff of the Wall Street job? Or the warehouse, factory position? Both have their pros and cons. Me? I'd probably choose the thrill and excitement of the 3 month Wall Street job.

I think the answer to this question depends on a number of factors that are not readily apparent from your question. First, if you chose Number 2, how easy would it be for you to obtain new employment at the end of the 3 month contract period? Second, with respect to Number 1, what do you mean by "no work, no pay"? Does that mean that there is a chance that the company would not have any work for you to do during periods of your employment there so, while you would get the minimum hourly rate for the hours you actually work, there may be long periods of little or no work at all? Third, does either job have a better chance of helping you obtain a better job in the future? Sometimes it pays to start with a not-so-good job option if the job would get you valuable experience or help you make important contacts that might benefit you in the long run in your chosen career. Fourth, how much do you need the extra money from Number 2 for the three month period -- because it doesn't sound like Number 2 actually offers any benefits anyway other than the higher pay? I think you need to consider all of these points in evaluating your options. Good luck.

By sitting in a office idle my opinion is prefer the 3 months contract and earn knowledge and money as well perorm well in it so that there you might get some other jobs for this experience or like this contract might get expanded too..!!!

Hi Muelitz, I will go for the 2nd one..I am always a risk taker about job and when you will just perform your work at your very best, for sure they will keep you and will not let you go~!

I think should accept the number 2. Although the contract period is 3month is shorter but you have the chance to get the next contract (long time) if you work well and the boss admire your work,sometimes the salary and the enviroment is not important

It would depend on how easily I felt I could get work after the three months, is there any chance they will extend the contract of work or is it def just the one contract task? If you could get work within a week or two after for either another contract or full time work or even the other job then you would certainly be happier having earnt the extra money through the better job for the short period.

i prefer to have a job security and i want to have a steady income to fulfill my daily needs... i never want to be jobless as i don't like to be penniless and have no income... that's why i never like a contract job... so i think i will choose the first one which is actually my situations now... but i am happy... at least i can survive and i can enjoy many benefits from the company... take care and have a nice day...

i would pick the one that i really like. but i really like change and i like it often so no doubt i would pick the 3 month job...because i think i would really hate the first one!

latter, just because of its location.

To tell the truth ,both of the two are bad ,aren't they?So if i were the people to make a decision ,i will choose none of them .Hehe ,because i believe there must be better choice 1

Well, I'd go for the Job 2. Though it's only for 3 months, I can quote the experience and job in my resume; it would definitely enhance my opportunities when seeking another job!

I would go definitely with the contract employment of three months because maybe if you did well you would have it as a regular job. Times now are very hard so getting a job that means no work no pay is really not a good idea for me. Hope you get to decide which is better for you.

so, the job numeber 2 is sure only 3 months? there are non possabilities of continuation?

I would take the first job if no-work mean you don't have to do anything at all--like a security guard of warehouse, because I could bring other jobs to do on site like blogging sponsored post, which will compensate you with no-benefits.

Hi Muelitz guess if I was to be better paid Wall Street should be my choice but then I would weighs the pro's and cons up if Wall St was atravelling distance how much would it cost me to get to work so how much less will it be in my salary as to the one nearer to me that is just a walk away but less..knowing me I would go for the one nearer to me as that way travelling wouldn't get me back home late etc either your friend littleowl

i will choose the 2nd option and do my best on that and hope that they will extend the contract...of just do good at it and after the contract expire find another one..

Hi Muelitz, I definatley choose the No.2 a contracted employment for 3 months, it a good and highly skilled job ans when your contract cease you can go for another highly skill job, you won't be without a job. Tamara

i think ill be choosing the one with good benefits and good salary. position is next to me. its important also how's the company doing. the benefits and salary.

Well i will choose ofcourse with a contract employment for 3 months which is paying above minimum monthly salary and the location is like wall.I dont care about the location all i want is to have a job that will help me through daily needs..

I would rather work in the first job. Because although it has no benifits I could always go shop for some and then I know that I for sure would be secure in that job.
