It's better (IMO) to look for a new job while you are still working. So wait and see if something better pops up.

i totally agree....

I third that!

Claudeth keeps saying she needs a job...for what

Well, sometimes a job is not only about money..... doing something you like and feeling useful and/or independent is very good for your self-esteem and it helps you in a lot of other aspects other than just financially.

It may take a few weeks to get settled into your new job, I know it did with me anyway. I would definately start looking for another job though as even if you do start to enjoy it, the company are having a laugh by paying you minimum wage with your age and experience!

Minimum wage in Idaho is $5.15/hr, and she's making $7.41.

To the OP: It's a good feeling to finally be hired somewhere after waiting for a while, and I'm glad you've been able to find something. I'd keep applying for other jobs, though. There's nothing wrong with looking for something better while you're working there. I mean: every employer can usually understand leaving for something that is a better fit money and/or lifestyle wise. Most of my employers have been supportive and enthusiastic (though expressing sorrow for losing me) for me when I've given notice that I'd received a better job offer.

I tell myself that every day and every day I end up not working on my resume because I'm "too busy" (which I'm not, as my post count here can tell).

On Monday of this week, I started a new job with the Boise State Library. It has been an easy week - orientation, meetings and a bit of work to start with.

After me complaining about not having a job and finally getting one, now I'm not so sure about this job. I know I should not be complaining. The people have been wonderful, no problem there. I'm find though there is a lot of responsibility and tons of work that comes with the job at $7.41 an hour. There is no future raises. I was told they just got a raise not long ago and it had been quite a while since the previous raise as in years. I also have about a 40 minute commute to Boise every morning (due to traffic- normally this is a 20 minute drive) and an hour's commute back home again. No free parking. I'm beginning to wonder if this is worth it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of hard work nor having to do tons of work. I'm 47 years old and just want to find a job that I'll be happy with for the rest of my life.

Do you think I might feel a bit better about things once I've gone through job shadowing?

maybe you can work this job and apply for another job. every job is strange the first

month. you dont know anyone and you dont know what your boundries are. give it one month

mean while check out other options. I know when I first started my job here. many years ago.

I thought I would not make the cut. soon that faded in time.
