Title: driving 40 minutes/day to a job that will slightly enhance your resume
Post by: anabolichalo on December 21, 2012, 07:49:21 AM
would be a pretty big fuel cost

OR get a worse job than your former nearby => good for fuel cost, bad for resume


was thinking maybe i do the better job for a while and then hopefully find another one after like 6-9months that is closer and is again better


like only move forward not backward, despite 40 minutes driving vs former job 20 minutes driving

basically, is 30 miles drive to get to work a bit excessive or bearable for 6 months to a year before finding something closer?

Holding a "better" job for 6-9 months isn't long enough. It won't be a feather in your resume's cap because employers will doubt your ability to hold a job, commit to a company, and stick it out. No one wants a quitter.. You'll need to hold that job for about two years. Unless this is a contract position and you're a management consultant.

well yes hold it as long as needed untill you can have a chance to do a similar or better one but closer to home

A 40 minute drive for me is fine, sitting in traffic for 40 minutes to drive 15 miles drove me bananas.
