    Applied to a Job Feeling Got a Job Thinking

    I recently accepted a position as a Care Navigator, which pays $19.50 an hour, after struggling to find a decent job with my bachelor's in psychology. I was desperate and started this week. However, I had a virtual interview this morning for a Case Manager role focused on elderly care, which offers $22 an hour. The interviewer mentioned it was a very good interview and wants me to come in next week to meet the team. Now I'm feeling torn because I just accepted the Care Navigator position, but the Case Manager role is a better opportunity. I'm unsure if I should pursue the new opportunity or stay with my current job.

    Feeling Got a Job Miscellaneous

    I just experienced a tough setback. I was recently hired as a direct support assistant for a company that supports individuals with disabilities. After about a month of job searching, I finally landed the position and started training last week. I completed CPR training on Tuesday, but today I was informed that I did not pass it and they were terminating my employment. I had just become certified in CPR this past February, so I asked if I could submit my certificate to prove my qualifications. I sent it over right away, but just five minutes later, I received a call stating they wouldn’t be continuing my employment. I know New York is an at-will state, so they have the right to do this, but I’m really upset. I had been searching for a job for three months, and now I’m back to square one. Just needed to vent.
