 |
|
I just recently have moved from the uk to holland to live with my girlfriend.
Previously i worked as a sales assistant bordering on superviser in a department store, but i am very interested in computers.
Since i have been in holland and applied for two possitions i have now the choice of which to choose from.
They are both possitions within a call center-answering calls,tech support etc.
I just cannot choose between which company to go for!
Company 1.
A young,already succesful company based about 30 min away via public transport.
Only 500+ employees but renowned in the world for its satalite navigation products.
In this company i would be answering calls from the general public regarding theyre satalite navigation products.
Salary €1.850 pm
Company is offering a great opputunity since it is young and vastly expanding.
I am not sure what else this company has to offer with regards to health insurance discounts,travel costs etc.
Company 2.
A famous,worldwide established company within the it sector providing networks and workstation support to buisness clients throughout the world.
In this company i would be recieving support calls from certain companies or busines's.
One hour or longer journey via public transport,inc 2 changes.
300.000+ Employees
Salary €1.900 pm
A company promissing to invest in collegues development providing they reach targets within the job-also with an online university to take technical/social courses on the internet.
A 6% discount on health insurance.
Travel paid for.
----------
Bear in mind i would enjoy working more with computers than satalite navagation products,-although having no previous experience i am unsure which would be more enjoyable for me.
I am scared if i choose job 1 because its a young company but with a more publicaly known name that the actual job will be more boring and it will be harder for me to shine.
Although because it is a young company i may be able to go further.
Job 2 would be more focussed on computers and would offer a big name if i was to move further into the I.T Sector, but job 1 is more of a publicly renowned company and would maybe look better on my cv.
Please help me choose betweens these jobs as i have to decide soon! |

Are you kidding me? I'm the only one that voted and replied?
Well, I chose Company 1 because the jobs seem similar, but if you're moving there to be with your girlfriend that 1+ hour a day to and from work is going to get on your nerves. You'll be spending 2 or more hours a day in transit.
What was your end decision? |

| I'll choose the second job because you work in a large company and you have the opportunity to make a better carrer there than in the first company.I also believe that if you make some sacrifices like a longer journey to work etc these things will be "repaid" to you when you'll be promoted. |

I believe that you should vote guys in this poll this way we can help him choose a job between these 2,if he didn't choose one yet.
So guys I welcome you to vote in this poll,because there are more than 400 views for this topic but only 2 votes. |

Anyway, it is sad that this guy posted the message in September and he didn't get a single reply or vote until December! Most likely he has already made the decision. I just wish he would return to let us know which one he made.
Thanks mod for regulating the forum. |
