so, on the topic: if you were suddenly unemployed, how long would you wait before you took a job that was just a job or temp to tide you over?

i will be unemployed friday. i will not get unemployement insurance.

i would still like 3-4 weeks off. but, i will be looking during that time, for sure. after two weeks, i will be calling temp agencies etc.

Responses:

in these times? probably would take the first job I can get, temp or whatnot, while trying to find a better long-term job -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 8, 08:12
a week (during which I wouldn't even get UI benefits, due to the imposed wait period) - znufrii Mar 8, 08:08
i have very little savings, so i would take whatever kept my family stable as soon as humanly possible. -- nm - TFox Mar 8, 08:08
I'd need to be looking for a job the moment I leave the old one. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 08:08 1
- when I was laid off from the dotcoms, I called recruiters from my desk the minute after I was laid off. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 08:09
