You do realize that if you take the job, you will still be eligible for UI benefits right? It'll basically push your benefits back until the assignment ends. If the job is a 3 month job, you continue to file weekly stating are working and how much you make. You won't get benefits for every week you receive full pay from the temp agency. Once you are off assignment then you go back to filing your claim regularly.
Why wouldn't you take it if it is offered to you after the interview?
Wow is all I can say. You, my friend, are unemployed... and you are actually debating whether or not to accept a job interview. Talk about a lack of urgency - it sounds like you are just too comfortable. I hope it does not come back and bite you. The longer you are unemployed, the less employable you become.
You are a fool if you don't take it.TAKE IT. Why don't you ask if they can go to $12.00/hr. They probably will meet in the middle at 11.50/hr. Then you will have more money to cover the transportation.
About the lunch. You have to eat lunch anyway...so it really should not be much more of an expense.
BESIDES...YOU CAN KEEP LOOKING AND GET A BETTER JOB SOON BECAUSE YOU WILL BE EMPLOYED and as you know, employers like to see that.
You said it doesn't seem like too bad of an offer. TAKE IT. TAKE IT. If you said it was an awful offer, then that would be another issue. But you said it is not a bad offer. TAKE IT.
I couldn't have said this better myself.
OP, take the job, look for another one and eat ramen noodles for lunch.

Because it wasn't a position I was interested in but did email her a list of positions that I would be interested in and will accept $11.00 an hour.
