It gets boring at times but I don't mind. So now I received a second job offer they both pay the same amount on the second job I told them I'll start the 17. And it's accounts receivable and it's 4 miles away from home. Want I want to do is call in sick on the 17 and see how this job that's 4 miles away will be like. I have 20 experience in accounts receivable and I don't know what to do. I mean I am blessed that I finally got a job but k ow I have to decide which one. Does anyone has any ... Regarding benefits the first one which is 10 mil away offers blue cross blue shield for 113 every 2 weeks and u get 5 sick 5 vacation & 1 sick offer 6 months. The the following 6 months you get another 5 & 5 & 1.. That s nice The new one that's 4 miles away offers 6 hrs everyone towards vacation days 2 sick days and Edna health insurance but it's 30 per week. I don't know what to do .. Please help..

Hi Lisa Borma I think it's ok to take a day to go and check out the other job, but just know that when you're hired you will need to give your old position two weeks. Avoid burning those bridges! At the end of the day, you need to do what is best for your career and life. If the commute is shorter and offers better benefits then go for it! Just remember to be honest with your current job once you have reached that decision. Pay attention to things such as culture as well! Can you see yourself there? How would your co-workers be? When in doubt make a list of both jobs (positives and negatives) and see which comes out the longest! Good luck with your choice you will be just fine!

Hi Lisa Borma - you have a decision to make here. I would strongly advise against accepting the new job without giving your two weeks notice to your current employer. 1) it is professionally inappropriate to just leave a job without warning and 2) you are going to burn that bridge and connection you have there by doing so. You should never burn bridges like that, as you may need them for future references or for future job opportunities.

You need to decide which job is best for you, and what will pay your bills and be the best for you insurance-wise.
