Hey everyone, so finally had a few job interviews happen for me...I am excited about it because unemployment is nearing the six month end, believe less then a month away. However, received one job offer took the job. I didn't start training and week later offered another job. Now I took the job I was offered did a brief one day training session for the organization, but don't start until November Fourth. Now I have another job offer and possibly hopefully one in the wings of the job I want. So I have to turn down this other job I offered and take the other offer, but possibly leave for another job...not sure if my nonsense makes any sense.

I know dropping these organizations like this burn my chances of ever being hired again by them. I feel guilty doing it but know have to do what is in the best interest of myself. Curious on anyone's feedback on this situation or has been through similar scenario.

Wherever money is best you should go. Companies dont care about their employees and you don't owe them anything.

Is there a way you can ask about your scheduling so you can do something like part time at once place and part time at the other? I know that's not always possible, but you could always ask.

Are those two jobs full time positions with regular scheduling?

That sounds like something I might face but only in the best possible scenario.
