What to do? Any help and advice appreciated

[Nacx]

I have applied for a job in a call centre, i have previously worked there, passed first stage and just need to go for interview next week, but the thing is having previously worked there albeit some time ago im already having second thoughts, as last time it really affected my mental health and the only reason i have applied again is because i need a job after been out of work for some time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I seem to think there will be a better opportunity just around the corner but in reality its the first interview i have been given out of about 20 jobs that i have applied for.

Just bumping this thread for you, @Nacx - hopefully there'll be someone along soon with some advice and support.

This is a tricky one! Can you look at it as a stop gap to see you through financially whilst you look for something more rewarding in the meantime?

If it effected your mental health too severely then it’s probably not worth it, have you engaged with your friends and family to see if they know anyone that’s hiring? So many jobs come through word of mouth, I applied for loads of positions and had few responses, then got offered a job by a friend I used to work with without even needing to formally interview! Don’t give up x

Hi thankyou for bumping it for me @soniamumsnet.

Hi @Dobbyhasnomaster thankyou for your reply it's much appreciated. Yes ive asked friends and family and no one knows of any open positions at the moment.

That was the idea to see it as a stop gap, but honestly i dont think i would even last 3 months, after speaking to a few people it seems the mentality of the place still hasn't changed, so with that in mind i have decided to not bother with continuing my application, and hope and pray that something better comes along soon.
