Would it be dumb to get a seasonal job in something not related to what I majored in? I graduated over a year ago and haven't had luck landing a job. My aunt suggested coolworks.com, and there's some basic jobs like front desk receptionist or serving jobs in really cool places. I think it might be a cool way to earn a little money while getting to see more of the U.S., but it also kind of feels like a waste of my degree...

I’d say putting any job on your resume is better than extending the gap of unemployment… you can easily explain that away in an interview and work on your soft skills like communication, crisis management, etc.

No. Especially if you need the money or just want something to do with your time. It is not a scarlet A sewed on your chest.

Hi ,

Can any one know how much FIS offer for Team Lead position

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
