Advice please.

It’s a no-brainer. Go to the job fairs, worry about holidays when you have the job.

Choices, Choices….

Go to Benidorm now, perhaps miss out on getting a decent job, and then get upset that you can’t afford to go back there again…

or

Go to job fair now, find a decent job, and you’ll have the cash to go to Benidorm (or somewhere far better:) )many times in the future, and have the cash to enjoy the trips…

It’s your call, but I know which I think is the better choice to make. As others have said, true friends will respect your decision , not ridicule you for it. I think that says it all really.

Sod what anyone else thinks……if you think it is more important to find a job then surely that’s the right thing to do 🙂 🙂 🙂

Plenty of time for holidays after you get your future sorted out !!!!

Mate who are real mates wouldnt expect you to do anything else but go to the show!!!

If they dont…..

I think the smarter thing to do would be to go to the job fair. (If you think there is likely to be interesting/good jobs in your field). Either decision you make you will have regrets and there will be benefits. Like others have said, if they really are friends, they will understand if you go to the job fair. If they don’t understand, then they are really not friends, they just want someone to party with if they don’t understand. Maybe your friends could reschedule or maybe you could get together with your friends on a later date.

The short-term gratification would be to go on a trip with your friends. If you miss out on a career opportunity, your career might end up being flipping burgers. You probably won’t be able to afford to visit your friends very often if your career is something like flipping burgers, and you will not be able to afford to do as fun things with your friends, if your career is flipping burgers.

Generally a career is more important. I would rather take the time to find a job that I will like a little better (or hate the least), and a job that is more likely to be more ethically, financially and intellectually rewarding. A job can be very important to you financially and mentally. It really creates vacuum to have to take a job that you dislike just to survive. I would rather take the time to find a job that I will enjoy (or hate less) and a job that is more financially and intellectually rewarding.

In the future do you think you would have more fun with your friends at a YMCA or on a snow ski trip?

Even if you don’t find a job at the job fair, it can help you to learn what type of employers are out there and how to job hunt. Even if you don’t find a job at the job fair, what you learn there can likely benefit your career.

My father told me “a person that enjoys his job is a rich man”. He meant this on two levels. The first level is that you spend most of your life working, and that if you enjoy your work that will be a reward and itself. The second level is that people that enjoy their job tend to do a better job and tend to get better paid.

I see a lot of people out there thinking short-term and they try for the jobs that pay the most, you regardless of other factors. As result they often choose jobs they hate, and less rewarding intellectually, and sometimes immoral. Thusly they often perform poorly on the job, thusly there is little chance of advancement. Thusly many people that go for the short term financial rewards, often end up with less money in the long run. It is best not to walk down the immoral road because it can bother your conscience, and it could lead to a career in prison… if you get my drift.

I suspect your heart is telling you to spend the week on a holiday with your friends, but your mind should be telling you to better your career.

The better your career and the more honest and happy you are on the job, the more likely you are to have friends. People with a lot of money, often have no problem finding people that will act like friends. Real good friends will continue to like you even if you don’t have money or if you can’t get-together and party with them, if they’re real friends they will miss you if you can’t visit them but they will understand.

Goodbye UK hello Costa Blanca!

Thats not my opinion (althrough a tripe to Benidorm would be nice). I think you would show more maturity than your so called “mates” if you go to Job Fair. Maybe they dont care about jobs in future but you seem to.

Mind you I wouldnt go unless my chosen profession was represented at the job fair as would be pointless. If i “had” to go to Benidorm I would at least check who was there and then research with those organisations/companies before the event to ensure you are not missing anything which could prove useful to you.

I think the answer should have been made long ago, based on the question, WHO would want to go to benidorm anyway, boring though a job fair is, I know where my preference would layLOL.

Whens the next job’s fair?? its upto you buddy.. so what you thinks best….

There is only one very simple answer. Do whatever you feel is right, whatever that may be. 🙂

What’s more important to you, getting a job that you like/love and can happily remain in for years and years, or taking some stick from your ”friends” for missing out on ”snow ex pat filled old people loving Benidorm for a week?”

If you suspect that your friends are not going to respect the decision you make, then I wouldn’t consider them to be true friends. If you’re after work, then the job fairs are a must.
