Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I need some advice, anons. Right now I'm waiting to start a job in a little over a month, but until then I'm still broke and in desperate need of employment. I've been trying to find something part-time to tide me over, but so far I've only had one callback for a callcentre job I really don't want to keep. This job also wants me to do a training program that will take about a month to complete. By the time the training is over, I'll only have a week or so before I start job #1.

I've never done a training program like this before. Do you normally get some kind of pay during it? Or any kind of compensation? They said the last week of the training is on the phones, so would at least that part pay me? I'm desperate for money, but if I'm going to spend a solid month training for a job I won't keep and only get a week's pay out of it, I feel like I could better use that time sending out more resumes. But jobs are really scare here, so if I turn this one down there's also a chance I won't find anything. Is the risk worth it?

I don't know where you are but my call centre job they paid me for the training but I work for a government department in a country with strict labour laws. You could always look into it and ask, if they say no then don't bother

Most places should pay you during training. Ask if you want to be sure -- why would we know?

that's typically something they mention when they tell you about it, tbh. paid training. if they didn't mention that when talking about the training, you should find a way to ask them.

Actually, they mentioned that the training costs would actually be taken out of my first paycheck now that I think about it, so... I'm not sure if that means I'd be paid during it or not.

It just seems like a huge waste to stay for the training and then quit right after, even if I do get paid.

op, if you're in the US, most legitimate jobs will pay you during training

hate to say it, but it sounds like they're going to charge you for training, which sounds really scammy
