would you take a permanent goverment job or would you take a goverment 2 yr contract but better job?
better as in more enjoyable, better experience, tiny bit higher pay (< 2k)

If you are still young, job enjoyment is more important. If you have a family to take care (ie.. you are old), you then will look for security,.

agreed...

furthermore, will the contract lead to a permanent job? if it's a "better"job, is it a better outlook as well?

better as in i like it better, like the stuff i do, no one knows what will happen at the end of contract.

what about a third option - high pay

作者: ani 時間: 2009-12-18 22:54

i think i would take something i really enjoy...

i had a government job that i dind't really like, good hours, nice people, fairly good pay... but really boring.. but i thought it was a stable job b/c people that work there are there for years and years and years.. there was one lady that has been in the same position/seat for 13 years...

then next thing u know.. budget cuts ! and i was the newbie.. so i would be the first one to go!! i guess sometimes things are not as stable as it seems...

I would suggest in this case, take the 2 yr contract job and then work hard to upgrade yourself to a position that you can get a decent job that provide all the satisfactions you need.

Enjoyment ..

high pay or high security .. very "sun fu" and high pressure ga ...

May be I am just a easy going .. relax person .. and I am ok to be poor ... ^_^

in my case, higher pay is the contract job, not much difference, about 2k per year more,
in terms of relax/pressure, i would say contract is more relax, but to be honest both job aren't that much pressure,
not too worry about budget cuts, once i accept the permanent job, it is PERMANENT, budget cuts won't affect me, thats the only thing i like about the permanent job anyway, it is a call centre job, while with the contract one, i am an adjudicator, so experience/skill wise, the adjudicator contract position would better prepare me for the future lor

i had a permanent job too...
the union deleted positions with budget cuts..
if u r a senior, u bump the less senior ppl off their positions.. so people keeps bumping one another until the newbie is gone..

oh well, maybe i was just a small potato..

seems like u've made up ur mind!

$2K difference is almost negligible then.

job security for full time job + some side job.
