Temping

[Dolphin78]

I’m stuck in the job hunt cycle of my industry disappearing and no SLT roles. People move or are made redundant and they aren’t being replaced.
Have been searching for 6 months this now. Tried to pivot without success or am
deemed too senior. Recruiters chat as my cv is good but nothing suitable for me. Been a bumpy couple of years after redundancy a really good fixed term contract and 6 months in a role that I took in haste and hated it and failed probation (it was sales and they had unrealistic expectations so I was happy to go).
Decided to go for temping and have been offered 6 months @ 30k..
Its 25% of my previous salary…so will pay some bills.
Take it or wait?

Take it for now, you need the money, and look for something better in the meantime.

What's your industry?

I too would take it, because its easier to find another job when already working. You can continue looking or something within that company might come up too.

@KvotheTheBloodless media and entertainment ops in a niche area..
Thanks both I think I should take it. I’ve never not worked and it’s knocking my confidence.
My ego can’t quite get to grips with an hourly rate I was paid 20 years ago.
