What should I do?? Help! Two job offers. DTV or Ha*o?

[jasjas]

I got hired through We*t for the H*lo project. I have already started training and love it so far! Very easy and no stress. I have heard that it is hard to get hours though. Not sure how true that is about the hours but if I knew I could get at least 30 hrs I would keep it.

Today I was offered a job from Converg*s for the DTV program. I know it will be more complicated and stressful but the pay is a little better plus benefits. If it is to hard I'm afraid I wouldn't even make it through training.

Converg*s said I would have to resign from W*st because it was a conflict of interest.

Have any of you worked DTV program? How hard is it?

What should I do?

Help please!!

Thanks,
Jasjas

I don't work for either, but reading through your post, you presented some very big Pros and Cons


Cons

-may be hard to get hours (We*t for the H*lo project)
-assuming no benefits (We*t for the H*lo project)?
-more stressful (Converg*s for the DTV program)

Pros

-better pay (Converg*s for the DTV program)
-benefits (Converg*s for the DTV program)
-love the work (We*t for the H*lo project)


Loving a job is always a huge plus. But what if you can't get the hours you need at We*t for the H*lo project?

The better pay is a big plus for Converg*s for the DTV program and benefits (health insurance?) is a huge, huge plus.

It may be a tough decision, but the better pay and benefits seem to be the two biggest Pros (in my opinion).

Good luck with your decision.

Is there no way you could do both? Some companies, especially those with regularly scheduled training, will defer training to a later class if asked. Could you not complete one, begin working to find out if it is for you, then begin training for the other?

If not, you have to research the companies you have received offers from and ask yourself all the questions that you feel matter. In the past I have used a few standard questions:

What type of work will you be doing? Are you able to physically and emotionally deal with that type of work? This is not an insult or insinuating someone is not capable of doing a job, but if the work is something you know will wear you down physically, drain you emotionally, or something you refuse to do or dislike doing, you won't be happy. Do you want or need benefits? Which one will fulfill more of your needs with the least amount of stress? If you love the line you have, but there are very few hours, will the lack of income hurt you? If you do not like one of the lines, but the money is better and the hours are guaranteed, can you actually stand doing the work?

There are not right or wrong answers. Just be honest and do what is best for you.

That is a tough decision but what is that old saying a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, or it is always greener on the other side. Anyway, good luck on picking the right job.

Missed the conflict of interest statement.

Non-compete clauses can affect your work options now and in the future, so that is also something to bear in mind while making a decision.

Yay! They Conver*ys told me I can do both! Thanks so much for all the responses everyone!

H*lo is the easiest thing you'll ever do! Grats! I loved that line when I was still with W.
