I passed the training! Also, thankfully, it's a paid training, so I will be compensated for about an hour worth of work for it.
However, to be honest, I am not holding a lot of confidence that this job is a permanent solution to my worries. Though it differs from a lot of these kinds of job insofar as I get to interact with real people and experience more direct feedback from a supervisor and all that jazz, this job is still a more contract kind of freelancing job. For that reason, it won't provide the same level of security as a typical 9 to 5 at an office. I can work as many hours as I want, but I'm not quite sure how much work will be available to me yet. Some people have stated that they work this full-time from the little I've read, but I've also heard that some people got removed from the job without explanation.
I still have quite a lot of interviews to go to next week. I never cancelled them because I'm really not terribly confident that this is the the job, but only time can tell how stable this position will end up being. Regardless, even if the job proves itself to be an effective source of income, I won't stop my job hunt. At best, I will see it as a temporary means of giving me some stability, but ideally, I'd be able to push it to side hustle status and work a regular scheduled full-time job in addition to it.
So, is the job hunt still on? Yes.
Might this give me extra breathing room, though? Most likely yes.
If what these people are saying about "being removed without explanation" is true, I can only hope it does not happen to me.
