Hey everyone! I'm not really looking for advice, just some input and things to consider to help me make my decision.
I recently decided to start seasonal work and travel again. My plan was to begin this summer. However, I've just been offered the assistant manager position at the store. They would even fire the current manager if I wanted to run the store myself. I would be required to work two nights a week, but would still get to open three days a week, and of course I'd get a raise.
They know of my desire to travel and do seasonal work and are still offering me the position. I told them if I accept, it would only be for six months to a year. The offer still stands.
Doing this would give me the additional training I need to get better positions when I do venture out into the world... Most places I've looked at require supervisory or management experience for their positions.
It's kind of ironic because this morning I was telling myself I need to apply for assistant management positions instead of entry level jobs. Those are lower pay and there's no guarantee of private accommodations. I was thinking how nice it would be if I could find a place willing to train me. Not more than an hour later, the owner's daughter came in and offered me the position, haha.
Working at this store can be stressful. Most likely the manager will either quit or get fired in the next few weeks, if not sooner. I would then be either the acting manager or the manager for however long I stay. It's seldom fully staffed, which means overtime. But, it also means getting valuable experience which will help me in the long run. Seems like a no brainer... take the job and wait until Fall or Winter when I will be in a better position, financially and experience wise, to follow my dream of traveling around the United States. I could be a traveling supervisor or manager, lol.
Anywho, I will most likely take the job offer. Just want a little input and some things to consider. Thanks in advance!
