If you take a job because you have been unemployed for a month and you need money. This is the first job that comes along. However it is extremely boring. If you start getting people calling you for interviews 3 weeks after you get the job, should you quit the job and take a chance on the interviews? (you can't take time off for the interviews)

If you can afford the risk, then go ahead and quit.♥ I'm in a boring job right now and would love to quit but I can't afford to not have a job at any moment♥

Well this is tricky because if you need the money then I would stay. I wouldn't necessarily quit a job to go just on an interview, but Yes take a chance on trying to go to these interviews but if you do get another offer for a job then be honest with your current employer and explain that the position was just not you expected.

Find a way to take time to go to the interviews or see if there's a way to schedule the interviews for early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
In most cases, in the US anyway, the first 90 days of employment are provisional anyway. It's a "test time" for you and your employer to see if it's a good fit. Nothing wrong with realizing it's not a good fit, but I wouldn't quit before I had a firm offer from another company.

Try to schedule the interviews after work. A lot of employers will accommodate this. But I wouldn't quit until I had a sure thing. Also, it seems that if you are employed, it is easier to find a job than when you are not working. I guess people think that if your not working, you don't want to work.

If you can afford to quit, then quit.
I took the first job I was offered after I graduated from college and have pretty much regretted it ever since. I get a bonus after one year though, so I'm leaving after my year is up, in 3 months. (My supervisors are aware of this.)
What I've learned: life is too short to be unhappy and miserable 40 hours a week!

I'd take time off for the interviews and if you find a job you like better, TAKE IT! there is no point is staying in a job you don't like when you could be happier somewhere else.

Take an interview during your lunch hour. If something comes along that you do like, just explain to your current employer that this job isn't what you thought it would be, that you're not happy and that you've found something else.

I start a job on Monday. and I was offered a better job, that doesn't start for 5 weeks (next training class) so I will be working for them until the job I want starts.
In your case if you feel confident take your chances.

No, its not right to quite only after 3 weeks. It has a very bad effect on ure job career. Try to make that job less boring with some means. take interest in job and co-workers. Now a days its not easy to get job every day. 2nd, after some time every job become boring, same routine.

In this job market I would try to take interviews during lunch and after work. But if you can quit and it won't hurt you too much, then that's your choice.
