I'm a week late mentioning this, but I've finally managed to get another job...and a management job at that. Upside is, the stress is definitely lower. It's a lower end management position, so I don't have to do as much all at once. The crew there is very supportive, understanding, and patient with me as I learn the ropes. It's full time right up to 40 hours every week, so the pay is good for what it is. However, there are a couple downsides. The pay isn't as good as my last job, which was a bit of a tough pill to swallow. However, at the time, I was starting to feel desperation after going a solid two months without success getting hired anywhere else. To say I was ecstatic, upon handing the application to the store manager and her immediately showing me around the place and saying I was hired, is something of an understatement. The other small issue is I have to close with mostly teenagers, so I find myself having to babysit them and make sure they do their work. I've had my trainer warn me that you pretty much have to work around them in order to keep them in line. I'm not too keen on having to do babysitting duties on top of my own. I guess I'll see how it goes.
What kinda sucks is, now that I AM working again, NOW I start getting calls for interviews at other places I had previously applied for. One of them was for an initially part-time position for an overnight stocking job, but at a higher pay than my last job. And once it were to hit full-time, I'd be making more than my last job by a noticeable margin. But I find myself in a dilemma because I don't want to hurt my already stained reputation by just leaving the job I already took. I'd feel like I'd be stabbing them in the back after all the time they put into training me so thoroughly. I talked to a couple of my close friends to get their opinions on the matter and they say that the lower stress is ultimately better for me and that the pay isn't everything. I ultimately turned down the overnight stocker position and decided to remain where I'm at. Really hoping this works out for me.
