Unemployed, should I take a job that doesn’t advance my career?
I got laid off after 4½ years with my former employer. I am having a hard time getting interviews during this pandemic. I probably completed 60–70 applications within two months and only three calls for interviews which I didn’t get.
I started to become desperate so I applied to entry level positions. At this point I’m feeling sad because I have my MBA and 5 years experience aiming for HR Generalists because they make more and it’s like a step up.
I got a call back for an entry level position. I think it may make the same as my most recent position and a benefit is that I would work from home-huge plus. I still have 3 months of severance left. I just feel crappy not advancing in my career and being stagnant.
Also, the lay off came at the worst time. My fiancé and I bought a bread route business from my cousin (she’s buying a bigger one). It required a hefty deposit, my fiancé quit his job to manage this and eventually we will hire someone. So right now we are relying on one income if I don’t find anything in the next 3–4 months…oh and we don’t have insurance now.
