I just got an indirect offer for work at the Rivers State secretariat to resume on d 1st of July for 20000/month.. My question; is it advisable to accept it as i feel it might hamper my movements for job test and interviews as i‘ve already forwarded my cv to several places.. All your advice will be highly appreciated

it all depends on how desperate you are.

Please don't think twice, go for it. A bird in hand.
People kill to get any government work cos of job security.
If an option comes with time, you can always seek for leave or something.

as long as there is no other concrete offer on ground ,take it and keep looking for another one .but u know at time opportunity and chance opens up for us where we least expect it to open.so my advice is TAKE THE JOB

A chick in hand is worth more than a peacock in the bush. Please go for it but make sure the job gives you the chance to continue job hunting without interfering with your job performance. You don't want an angry boss as these people that pay peanuts are usually the most demanding.

My first job as a graduate was for N18k with a private one man business. If I had seen a N20k govt job I would have embraced it with both hands.
Govt jobs give you more time and opportunity to move higher and make progress in this country. Go ahead and take it and put in the best you can

Thanks all for your responses, i appreciate

@MRbrownJAY as per been desperate i might agree to it a little.
..I just finished my service not quite long and i‘m not doin anthing currently

A breast in hand is better than two locked inside an iron clad bra! Take the offer presently available to you while you wait for a better one to come!

Manage it my dear, depending on what u r into nw.. But take and dont stop going for another.

PLS, when was this? Could it be in those days when Naira had value or is it more recently? How did you do it? Cos I know pips who earn way more than that now and can't seem achieve anything with it.

is doing "anything" better or necessary to you today than waiting to find something RIGHT? and how long can you wait before you take whatever comes your way?

none of us is in your shoes so we cant really say. you have to look within yourself and ask the important questions:
- do i NEED this job?
- do i have the luxury to turn it down?
- should i wait for something better?
