Any advice would be greatly appreciated….
Last year, I got jobs that were not stable. One of them, I had to quit due to the role not been a fit and the department was severely overworked.
Second one I got, it was permanent. I performed my job (went above and beyond). This was a remote role. At the end, I was fired because they had unrealistic expectations.
Now I’m getting unemployment benefits and I have been applying. But my fear is I don’t want to take any job that I wouldn’t last on like the second situation. Since I’m getting benefits and I have recruiters contacting me, what should I do? If I get an offer, is it wise to tell the recruiter to sign an agreement with the prospective company that they would keep me on for at least a year if its a contract role? I’m asking because I don’t want to gamble it since I’m getting paid unemployment and I don’t want anything to mess with that if it won’t last long.
