Hey All

I am in bit of a dilemma in relation to my job.
I am currently working in a job, its not in my line of work but it came at a time when I needed a job so am grateful, its been 7 months but need to get back on track with my career and back into my line of work. I have an interview coming up on Tuesday, its 3 months contract, for a good company and I am really keen on it.
However, I have also applied for 2 permanent positions - my ideal dream jobs. But I wont hear back as one of them has a closing date till next week and the other one i will hear back in 2-3 weeks time.
If I am offered this 3 month contract job should I take it or should I risk it, continue where I am, and wait for some response frm the other 2 (both will give responses if I am through or not). I have a feeling I will at least get an interview.
But thing is, if I get this contract job, i will feel bad if i had to leave half way as the previous person left half way also after getting a permanent position elsewhere. So am sure that would rather annoy the boss right. I am not sure what to do:
1. If offered the contract position, should I take it? or
2. Continue where I am in the hopes of getting some goods news from the 2 perm position..this could be a lenghty process as they are perm positions.
3. Take the contract role and just give the 2 weeks notice if the perm job is given to me, as I need to do whats right for me I guess.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming you did not get any of the permanent jobs, you will be jobless after 3 months when you take the temporary contract.

The current job may not be your dream job, but it is still a job under the current economic climate.

Food for thought?

Well, its contract but most likely it will be extended to perm so ive been told.

Well, ''most likely'' is a risk you will have to take.

I based my  'advice' on what you originally said; the decision and the other likelihoods are down to you and your judgement

Good luck.

Thanks Cedar.
I think I will take just take things one at a time. I am thinking too far ahead lol. I just like to weigh up options in advance I guess.
