I was laid off a week and a half ago and have been actively searching for remote job opportunities since then. As the sole income provider for my family, the pressure is on, but as an introvert, I really thrive in environments where communication is mostly written. I enjoyed my previous role in ecommerce because it allowed me to avoid a lot of verbal interactions, with only occasional team meetings. Recently, I applied for a job that I found through an email from Indeed, and to my surprise, I was called the next day for an interview. I have to admit, I only skimmed the job description and saw 'remote,' not realizing that it involved driving to customers' homes for face-to-face sales. Now I'm feeling a bit foolish for not considering the implications of that. The role is commission-based with a daily draw, and I can't shake the feeling that I would be miserable in this position. I worry that if I take this job, I might get stuck and lose the momentum I've built in my job search. I've never worked in a commission-based role before, and I’m concerned that I would end up earning less than my last job while also racking up gas expenses and putting wear and tear on my nearly 20-year-old car. I'm trying to refocus my applications, but it's tough to shake off this unexpected opportunity.
