I was working at a REAL dead-end place. So I met a lady at a function outside of my previous job and she told me she worked for a Temp Agency. Okay I explained my situation to her (i.e. deadend job, lousy pay etc.) and she seemed to get to work right away in search of a new job for me or at least something until I could find something more perminate. Okay here is my problem......... The job she "found" me is a temp position (duration unknown) it is very very very (about 70 miles to and from) far from where I live and the gas gets costly should I feel bad that I am looking for another job even though I comitted to this project? Or should I not even care and look out for myself? I am just uncomfortable with this because what if i do venture out and find a job on my "own" I dont want to burn the bridge at the Agency. Any ideas on how I can make this situation better or at least once I do get a preminate job let them know without damaging our working relationship? Please advise

I would keep looking for something a little closer to home. Don't feel bad about looking for better opportunities. Don't think for a second that if your company needed to let you go that they'd think twice about it. Gotta look out for yourself & your family.

If the distance is a hinderance, there is nothing wrong in changing your mind about commuting. I, personally, would never commute to a workplace, if it were more than 30 miles away. If, however, they pay for your gas/mileage, by all means drive as far as you need to. If all the fuel costs are at your expense, reconsider and look for a job that's closer to where you live.

No you shouldn't feel bad but you also shouldn't take a temp position if you have something concrete now. You shouldn't leave unless you are trading up. And from what it sounds like you really aren't. And I'm positive if your superior knew you were leaving for something better they would support you, you know as long as you left the right way.

It's would be stupid to consider taking a temp job that far away. Keep looking til you find something closer!

Get another job quick! Keep this one until you do.
