| Laid off fed here. My only Lu k in this job market so far has been landing a temporary seasonal job answering the phone for Williams Sonoma/pottery barn. It pays $15 an hour with no benefits. Would you take that or not even bother? A bi-weekly check will be under $1k after taxes. |

| I would take it if you need money. Sounds easy enough while you’re looking for more jobs. |

| A few years ago when I was looking to get back into the workforce after being a SAHM, I took a $8/hr remote job. I used it as a stepping stone to find something better. |

| That makes me want to buy from WS/Pottery Barn if they are hiring their support staff in this country for 15/hr, actually. |

| If you need the money, yes. You can always quit if you get something better. |

| That would be hard for me, but I'd probably do it. I think Trader Joe's pays more, but it's obviously not remote. |

| Restaurants are hiring and you can make $30 an hour easily. |

| You definitely should take it. Better than bleeding money. Keep looking and obviously don’t put the job on your resume. |

+1 Only OP knows their personal finances and how much they need the $. But no shame in taking a hourly job to tide you over, and remote work is attractive in many ways. |

Nonsense. Those jobs are actually difficult to get. They do not want to hire professional people in between jobs that will leave as soon as they get the chance. OP, take the job. |
