They asked me twice if I knew what the salary was. And it’s not a great salary so I’m guessing that’s why. Plus it’s a disability charity. You’d think they want to bridge the gap of what people earn that have disabilities. I came out feeling unsure. If I get through to second stage. Then I’m not sure I’ll go through it.

What kind of job is it? What will you be doing? I would just do it for a while if I liked it and then start applying elsewhere after a while

its in admin. I used to earn £16 an hour this will be paying £12 is it worth it? well I thought it would be a great step back into work but its a lot of work they’re asking me to do for that wage… they want me to do a presentation if I get through the interview.

Why a presentation? That’s a lot lower but it can be a stepping stone.

Salary is damn important but not the only aspect to consider.
Less commute time, work hours, flexibility (work from home, less strict schedule), other benefits (number of days off in a year, meal tickets, medical insurance), work environment (friendly colleagues, light workload), personal development (learning or practicing things that interest you) - all of these can be potential advantages you may want to consider.

It’s true @andrey it’s actually probably not that convenient for me. Luckily I have free travel

Minimum wage is better than no wage.

It is but I do feel my experience is worth more than £12

Probably the hourly rate. Is it net or gross income?
If gross, then how much after taxes?

I see. Well it’s your decision, but if you get to keep your disability AND have a job, no matter how poorly remunerated, I’d say go for it.
Besides, taking this job now doesn’t mean you must stop looking for better options.

Thats true. I haven’t heard back from them but if I do hear positive news then I will need time to think it though … I’ll get to keep the pip though.

Looks like I didn’t get it. Have not heard anything.
Don’t lose hope. I know the job market is tough at the moment and it’s easy to feel discouraged by it all. Keep your head up, a rejection is just a redirection!
