I have two jobs I must decide between by tomorrow morning. Both are similar in pay and benefits. One is a an Account Executive position with A major Wireless carrier the other is an Account executive with an office supply company? Which would you rather do? Just asking for different opinions, I know the ulimate decesion is mine!

I'm not going to give you a clear decisive answer here because I don't have all the information about these companies. But here are some of the things that I would ask myself.
First thing I would ask is whether you have more passion for office supply products or wireless services.
Second thing to consider is the clientele. Try imaging the kind of people who will be your clients, whether office managers of a dentist office or purchase manager of large technology company, who would you rather work with?
Finally consider what is next for you after this job. What type and size of company would you want to work for in the future? And what experience would be more valuable to that future company? For example, top tier financial institutions may not value mom&pop office supply experience as much as a top tier wireless firm.
Good luck with your decision.

You subliminally must prefer the Wireless due to the fact that U did not CAPITALIZE the e of Ur 2nd choice? As others suggest it is up to U w/the variety of options & difference of the 2!
Consider the Wireless would be around MUCH longer than an Office Supply Company! If U went for the Supply and business went under in a year or so, how easy might it be to get bace in to Wireless???
May you choice be guided from above...

Where are they located? How is the commute?
Do you get free wireless service? Free office supplies?
A discount?
Imagine having worked at each job in turn for 5 years. Are you glad? What are you ready to do then?
What was you impression of the people you met? I'm not asking a rational question (that was above) - this is totally animal. What does your gut say when you think about being in the one place for 8 hours? Then the other place? Can you feel a difference? I once avoided what would have been a disasterous job offer through using this method.
Good Luck whatever you do!

i guess it would depend on the hrs ,how long and if the pay is worth the hours,if your going to be happier at one,or because maybe a friend works there might make the day go faster or easier.would it take u away from what u know or move u father away from family and friend. their are to many ? to this answer to give the correct answer. account excutive sounds like a suit job with no fun but good money where office supply sounds fun meet new people and have a little fun on the side with the other workers

I would choose the later, namely the office supply company.........bec office supplies can be in fashion and change, but u will be working with the same people.......so u will gain moral support as well.
Technology is rapidly changing, and so will ur job and paycheck, depending on which stock kramer predicts as the best wireless company...........so do u wont a highturnover rate forurself, or stability.

They both sound good. I think the Wireless carrier job would be a fast pace and more headaches. The office supply would be more stable.

I hope I get to answer that question for myself someday. I would choose the Wireless carrier position, because it sounds more fun. I also suspect the wireless position will open more career doors for you.

Of the two, I would say that the Wireless carrier might have a more competitive and aggressive atmosphere to it. It's up to your personality as to which one's better for you.
Good luck

You must consider these following questions:
1).Is it course-related?
2).Am I comfortable?
3).How much is the salary?
4).Do I really know this job?
5).Will I be happy?
Because if you're not happy with the job it's useless.
If your answer is YES! go!
Opportunity only knocks once...so you must grab it!
