first off I'm 18 and a student who's earning his AA by the fall. I WILL be leaving for spring classes in orlando (out of my area -- means leaving job).
I put in an application for these two companys, x and y, in early May of '05 because I wanted to work at these places and I figured I'd probably get one of them to respond. Well, company x responds first and I go interview with them. It goes well and I'm optimistic about the employment there because it's a nice place to work -- cushy job, using phones/computers. A few days later company y calls me and asks if I'd be interested in interviewing for a position. I'm 95% sure I have the job at company x lined up but I say "sure, I'll come in." Lemme give some specs:
company x - $8 an hour; mon-fri 5pm-10pm; modest benefits; cushy job (3/10 on a toughness scale)
company y - $14.10 an hour; sat-mon 6am-6pm -OR- 6pm-6am; slightly above average benefits; very physically demanding ( 8/10 on toughness scale )
I interviewed with company y twice now and a day after my 2nd interview company x calls me up to give me the job. I accept the position and intend to work there as of now. It's been 2 weeks since my last interview with company y and I've heard their calling to check on my references which means to me that their interested in hiring me. I start at company x July 11 so time's ticking....should I hold out for company y because of pay or should I go with company x because I've already agreed to a job there and everything?
