[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is your industry and skill set right now? How do you feel about your ability to get a new job that's a good fit for you? If you feel good about your prospects and this isn't the job you want right now, and you're young with no financial liabilities, I'd turn it down.

If you are nervous about finding another job or you don't feel you have adequate savings to cover an extended time period unemployed, then you should at least consider taking it.

If you feel bad turning the job down because your old manager went out of his way to help you and you feel guilty, that's NOT a good reason to take the job. Turn it down, with your thanks and apologies. [/quote]

My contractor is calling me tomorrow with prospects, so other than me being a naturally very anxious person, I’m not totally concerned about finding something new. Luckily because I’m with my parents I probably have about $600 worth of a bills a month, and with unemployment that’s plenty to cover it. I have quite a bit of savings if push really comes to shove.[/quote]

Oh and my skillset, I feel really good about that and in my industry there’s always a need for people with my background.[/quote]
