“The problem is that in today's economy, any job, even one that's less than ideal, is a scarce commodity.”
I come out with this line whenever I get the recurrently Why question during job interviews. Thanks to Kate Burns, who couldn’t have expressed it any better on her published article featured on Yahoo entitled “Why Job Hunters Should 'Settle' for a Less-Than-Dream Job”.
It was November 2010 when I came across this article, the same month I officially filed my resignation letter. My former imperious employer (I will now call XXX IT) required 60 calendar days notice, which made it nearly impossible to apply for a job within that 2-month period considering my schedule. Exam/interview appointments are normally arranged in the morning and since I was on graveyard, I could either grace potential employers with my zombie-ish presence or take a planned leave, which apparently is something that XXX IT did not allow when you’re a resignee. *surprise* Read: not stated in the contract.
