Is it worth taking up a $4.50/hr customer service job at a local coffee chain? The advantage of this job is time is flexible and is suitable for people like me who study FT and work PT. Salary would gradually increase but I see it would be around $5.00/hr. I'm offered the job and supposed to sign the letter of appointment on wednesday(today).
However, I've been called up for an interview from a local telco coy for part-time call-centre position (CSO) for this Friday and pay wise would be definately much higher. I'm more interested in this job cos' working venue is closer to my home. The only disadvantage is working hrs is not as flexible, 5 evenings per week.
Which should I choose?
Weigh among...
1. Balance for work and studies.. Time management wise.
2. Pay. How much you need? How much are you aiming for?
3. Venue. Consider factors like travel time (which might affect your studies time and schedule; make you tired if too long distance?), $ needed for travel.
4. Personal interest and how tiring (boring) the job might be? This on the long term might affect your studies?
5. Continue to find out for more part-time jobs if possible...
