Pick My New Job

Hey, Your first job sounds good to me. 2.30 to 11 is a good timing. u will have tiem to rest and pursue any hobby u have. Iam not into jobs which has a lot os night shifts. And also 2 days holidays in a week is good. I dont have that luxury. Good luck and hope u get a lot of responses. Cheers, Tutul

I think for me it would be the Health Insurance Company. It sounds the least stressful. I imagine Customer Service for a bank would be horrendous and almost as bad The Life Insurance in so far as you would have to know ALL the ins and outs and be able to fob off the nasty types. The hours are horrible...all around mealtime which would be a busy time at your place...who will take your place?? Have you had your holiday yet?

If I HAD to pick it would be the last one. More time with the kids. But I have a better job for you. I read this earlier but couldn't respond and on our way into the city today, I fell asleep and dreamed up the perfect job for you. Get your hubs to take twelve pics of you in various poses appropriate to each month of the year. Run those photos down to your local photo composition kwiki mart and put together a calendar. Make a dozen copies and hustle them around to every Bank, Insurance Company and Fire Station in your area. Subcriptions for future years available on request.......................... Ok, ok, it was a bumpy drive to the city and my dreams got kind of weird.......LOL Just seemed like the perfect solution to keeping you available to your kids, get the hubs proactive and interested in your 'career' and making you not only rich, but famous! ROFL

I guess the last one sounds good. It provides a good array of hours. But full time makes me shudder. Do you need that? Full time I mean, nit me shuddering. I have no idea what quality assurance in the insurance industry is? As I regard insurance as rip off merchants is it employment where you bite silver dollars to check that they really are silver? LOL.

Having worked the horror that is customer service I would have to go with the QA one. I have nightmares about customer service.

I would take the quality assurance job...no question. My reason for saying this is job growth. I am not sure what the job growth potential is with the bank, but I think the insurance company would have a much better job growth. In addition to growth potential the hours seem better. I guess it all depends on you. Is salary a factor? Does one pay way more?

I think I'd either take the swing shifts (because then you have 2 weeks of evenings off) or the health care one (where you have consistent days off). Knowing which days you have off each week can really make it easier to make plans. The swing shift one is great because you have almost every evening off except that one week out of the month. For me, it's all about the time off and the ease of making plans outside of work :)

Quality assurance because I prefer that type of work...

Assuming that whatever training is involved for these positions is equal, I'd opt for the Quality Assurance one with the 3 week swing shift. That way for at least two of the three weeks you are home to do the 'bedtime routine'. That was always an important bonding time with my son, where we'd talk about the day, read a book, or whatever. There was always something special about sitting (or laying) together in a darkened room, all the activities of the day done, that opened up a lot of dialog.

I would take the bank job mainly for the reason of the time of the shifts. Im not a morning person and like to sleep in and stay up late so working till 11 or midnight would be fine for me cause Im up past those times anyways.

If I were to choose. I would choose customer service for a health care company. Because you have a fix schedule and the time is not so late in the evening so that you can still have fun at night go to bars and night out. And of course you're off during Sunday with this job so you can have more time for God.

I will definitely pick the 3rd option (Quality Assurance for a Life Insurance Co.) for the simple reason that you still have Saturdays and Sundays as day-off which is the regular day-off for the entire family. I don't see the swing shift as a problem since this falls on a regular day where most of my family are out of the house anyway. What's important to me is that I'll be with my family on my day-off.

Customer Service for a Bank sounds like it would be a better job than the other two. Working in health care and life insurance seems like you are going to catch a bunch of "Crap" from people. And plus they will be on hold longer at those jobs, so they will be in such a lovely mood.
