Goodnight
I just got home from a 7:30 p.m. meeting. It was a good one. I picked up Angie and took her with me and we brought her daughter Paige too. She was a perfect little angel. First thing this morning I got up and went to the Women's Spiritual Breakfast at the Wildhorse Country Club. It was a good time. This is my third year in a row attending this function. There was like 100 women there. Talk about a lot of personalities. Sometimes I get overwelmed being around SO many women.
Anyway, tomorrow is my 2nd interview, but the more I thought about it over the weekend, I've decided I'm definitely not taking the job. It just doesn't pay enough. Why should I give up my unemployment and take a job make the SAME exact money that the unemployment pays? In fact, with taxes, I'll actually make less than I'm making by sitting at home doing nothing. I'd rather keep looking. I need to make more money than what they are offering. I'll go on the 2nd interview though and just see how it goes. Anyway, practice makes perfect and I can always use the practice because job interviews can be extremely intimidating and nerve wracking.
So, roommate has a girl coming here to stay with him from L.A. for a few days. She will be here Tuesday, so I'll be heading to North Las Vegas to stay with the parental units for a few days while she is here. He didn't ask me to leave or anything, but I think I'd rather get the hell out of here if he's going to have a chick staying with him. They can totally have the house to themselves.
And that's it. I'm going to lay down in my cozy bed and watch my lovely T.V. in my room and I'll probably stuff my face with popcorn or ice cream or something. Can't wait to watch the Survivor Season Finale' and find out who won the money!! Goodnight!

I just think that the survivor winner should be ineligible for that fan favorite money. Seriously? Does one person need to win it all. Blah. But I did love JT.

Maybe you can convince these people to up the pay so that you don't lose money by taking the job? It's always worth a try. I wouldn't take a job paying less than unemployment either. That wouldn't make any sense.

If you get the job offer, I recommend telling them that while you would like the job, the pay is not sufficient. Perhaps once they get to know you, they'll open their wallets a bit more. And if they don't, you've lost nothing. Good luck.

Bayne beat me to the punch but be very careful.
If the UC dept finds out you turned down a suitable job offer without "good cause" they can terminate your benefits and sometimes establish an overpayment for the benefits you have already received.
This is a link to the UC manual for NV.
http://www.detr.state.nv.us/ESD%20Pages/ESD_docs/UI_Claimants_Handbook.pdf
It includes the following:
There are other reasons that would result in disqualification. One of these is:
• Failing to apply for or accept suitable work.
It also contains this:
REMEMBER, YOU MUST ALWAYS:
• Tell us about any job offers or job referrals you receive and/or refused.
Now one could argue the definition of "suitable work" but I can guarantee you that "because it would pay less than my unemployment benefits" would not be considered a valid reason to not accept a job that the department would consider "suitable". Especially if you reported that you were offered a job at $xxx salary and you declined the offer due to the income. If the department calls the employer who offered the job and is told there was potential for increases and promotion it would not be considered “unsuitable” in the departments opinion.
Now if you were offered the restaurant job at or around the same time, you could make a case for turning down the admin job as unsuitable because the restaurant has greater earnings potential. But it may be a slippery slope if you decline the first offer pending an offer from the 2nd job.
For what it’s worth.

I sure that Carmen wouldn't be dumb enough to put down this job on her unemployement job search sheet, would she?

Glad to see JT win Survivor. It was one of the more memorable seasons in a while with Coach, Tyson, and Taj being players that would be great for a future All-Star season.
