It's hard to say without some more information. Would you be able to work both the jobs without them interfering with each other? You also have to ask yourself whether or not your willing to work a lot of hours. The money would be nice but you don't want to turn into a zombie.
 
I would go with one. Being a cook (if I'm corret - eh - 50/50 chance) is a very stressful job and to go from one to the other immediatly with no down time would be too hard. Of course if both jobs only require one or two days, then I say two. But I don't know the conditions so I voted NO.
 
I reckon try the 2nd one out aswell if your body can handle it and find out which job pays more and is more enjoyable/less stressful. 👍 You can't knock double the money these days, especially when people are finding it hard enough to get one job, let alone two. :)

You must be Gordon 🤬 Ramsay!! :p

Where's the new job?
What hours have you got for the current one and the new one?
What's your role in the current job and your role in the new one?
 
It depends on whether that extra time spent working is worth the money you'll get for it. I can only stand working tremendous hours for a short while, even though I'd be making big money.

Is the first job not full-time?
 
Go for the interview, find out more information about it (hours, pay, etc) and then compare the two. If you feel you can do both jobs, then try it for a bit, you can always quit. If one is better than the other, then you know which one to go with.

Just because you got an interview doesn't mean you got the job, and just because you like a job doesn't mean there isn't a better one out there. You're young and have bills to pay, you should be looking for something better at all times.
 
You didnt say if you are working full time (over 40 hours per week) or part time (under 40 hours per week). If you are only working part time and the jobs do not interfere with each other then work both. Its twice as much experience and twice the money. It also shows you are more responsible. Most companies that know you are working 2 jobs at the same time will do what they can to work around your schedule.
There have been times in my life I have worked 3 jobs at the same time to get by.
 
More info please :)

I have debated myself about finding a 2nd job and I've decided no. Currently I don't have a day off for at least 2 weeks, it would basically take what free time I have left.
 
well.. the frist job is two days a week, so it Monday and thurday so far.. I'm going to wait on thurday to see the new schedule.... So for todays interview at 3:00est, I'm thinking if I should tell him I already started a new job and like to try them both...

P.s Thank you guys so far...

I'd do just that - let them know right away that you can't work there on Monday and Thursday and see what they say.

My wife went in a month ago for an interview and told them that the reason she wanted the job was so she could do her homework at work, which they had no problem with provided she did her job first (obviously). Point being you never know what employers will be willing to work out with you unless you ask.
 
As has been previously stated here, it's all about the green baby. Whichever pays the most and can offer the most money, is the correct choice. All jobs are crap, so you might as well get paid!

Advantage of cheffing, is that it tends to be flexible.

You haven't lived, then.
 
Interview went well, got a second interview. I have to talk to the golf course chef first, but there shouldn't be any problems. One good thing about the golf course is that I get one free round a week. That's a $42 value!
 
So, you can't enjoy work and free time?

You'll spend half of your week working, so enjoy it and if you don't find something you do. The rush from doing something you like (and getting paid for doing so) is immense.
 
As someone who currently is working two radically different retail jobs, I guess it would come down to a few different questions:

1) Do you need the money?

2) How hard is the work?

3) Can you split your time up evenly, fairly, not just for your jobs... But also for yourself?


I'm putting in over 40 hours this week between Old Navy and DSW, and it won't be fun. It gets old quick, but if I'm going to pay for my things independently, I have to do it, week-in, week-out.
 
Totally agree with sureboss here. Find a job you like that makes you WANT to go to work, not a job you hate that you HAVE to go just so you can get $$$$. Sometimes you have to do the hate jobs while you find the like jobs just so you pay the bills but when you find a job with:

a) Satisfying work, meaning you actually make a difference by doing your job.
b) Have hard working but fun colleagues to work with so you don't do all the work
c) Get paid well to do the work required
d) You enjoy doing the work that's required

Then you don't knock it, grab the opportunity with both hands and RUN with it!! :D I'd personally love to go back into administration roles because it was easy/fun/enjoyable, and I made a difference to the bottom line at that company. 👍

If you still can't find work, there's always telemarketing, they'll hire anyone!! ;)

Exactly right.
You have to have your "own" time.I know people that do this,and they are suffering from job burnout in a very short matter of time.
 
Word. I'm already on the burnout train. I'm not sleeping well, and the stress between my jobs is getting to be killer. But, I needs teh moniez.
