Stick with Job Seekers or take the 8 hour part time job?
Recently I attended an interview for a shoe company at Pavers which they were happy to offer me the job but only got offered for an 8 hour contract?
I dunno whether I should take it or still keep my job seekers allowance until I can find a job with more hours as i'm not sure if it will impact better pay or not. Especially would need to pay for the bus transport.
Seeing as I get paid £115,80 every 2 weeks which is £231.60 every month from job seekers. The job that I got accepted was a customer adviser role which offers is £7.90 every hour so would be around £255.04 a month but don't know if its worth taking it or not?
Any advice will be appreciated, thanks

Since you are getting that amount of JSA/ESA then you must be under 25. This job is offering you £7.90 which is well more than the minimum wage for your age, it won't make you much more money since it's only 8 hours, but they may increase your hours later on. Also, while you have got a job it's easier to get other jobs. So I would take it and keep looking for a job with more hours, or even an additional job that doesn't clash with the 8 hours, which will be easier to get if you already have a job.

You can do 16 hours work each week before your Job Seekers Money is affected - I claim Job Seekers myself so that's how I know.
