Advice : Part 2
I guarantee, all casuals would rather have Bodum's sixth year income over their current arrangement in a heartbeat. Yes, given, they may do very well in any given month, however, with the uncertainty, they are loathed to spend it 'just in case' next month is lean and in this job you never know.
There is a time limit on how long you can last as a casual and those that are 'very happy' being casual usually have husbands who have secure, well paid positions. The time limit I spoke of is an individual thing and it applies financially, emotionally and psychologically.
Some of you will tough it out and accept the MAM position. Some of you will then be made permanent, others of you won't. Some of you will decline the MAM position and request to remain on the QF waitlist only to see candidates from subsequent recruitments successful before you. Some of you will request to remain on the QF waitlist only to be subsequently sent the thanks but no thanks letter, some of you will remain on the waitlist for an eternity. A much worse fate.
No matter your own individual experience you will all end up resenting the hand that feeds you and that is neither a good thing for you or for Qantas. But always remember this, no matter where you end up, in life, you are always exactly where you are meant to be at any given point in time.
Good Luck!
