Job hunt

[bktheirregular]

Found an opening at the Staten Island DA's office yesterday, and sent in a cover letter and resume.

Computer crashed overnight last night; when I started it up this morning, Skype pinged to tell me that I had voicemail; the voicemail tells me that there's a potential job offer "off the beaten path". When I call to follow up, I learn that the job's not lawyering per se, but a recruiting job for a firm, paying what sounds like quite a substantial salary. Waiting to hear back from them.

If I had my choice, I'd take the DA's position; but earning money isn't too bad, either.

Yeah, earning money does help...

Is the recuitment job all salary, or is it a low-ish basic with commission/target-oriented bonus?

No idea, actually; they haven't called me back with specifics.

Ah... If they do ever call back, it's probably worth checking. I know over here there's a tendency to advertise targetted jobs with the top end of the on-target-earnings to catch the eye. The actual basic salary then tends to be in extremely small print somewhere unobtrusive...
