I was recently laid off, 2 weeks ago, filed for ei. Theres a job opportunity for a 3-6 month contract job for an afternoon shift 5pm-3am. When I applied they told me this. Do you think I should stick with EI and find something better and take the job if offered. I'm gonna call an advisor about a second career option also. I'm not really financially strapped either.
employment question
- Thread starter pokergod
- Start date
If you're looking for regular employment, I'd take it. Employers generally test people out on contract before hiring them on for longer. If you're a good worker, chances are they'll want to keep you.
Now is not a good time to be unemployed. If you have a bit of cash saved, hang onto it!
I suggest you take the job.
My son-in-law is an experienced Class A truck driver. he recently moved to Sudbury (to follow his heart, foolish boy) and he has applied for 21 jobs in the area and has not had a call back yet.
Jobs are scarce and its gonna get worse....
Just my opinion...

To the op: will you be a regular full time employee with all benefits and an employee number and the employer will make all the deductions off your paycheque or a "contract" worker where you submit an invoice and you'd be responsible for all deductions?
If it's the latter, don't take it because once the contract is up, you won't be eligible for EI. If its the former, take the job......
