Am I a fool?

[surflugen]

I have left my former employer and started temping for a couple of creative temp agencies. I have worked at a couple of new places that I liked and a couple of other places that I didn’t.. For that last few weeks I have been with a large advertising company temping as a production artist. I got a weird feeling about the place and asked to be reassigned. I am just uncomfortable there. They –the agency- has asked me to stick it out for a while to see if the place grows on me. I know that they just want to make sure that I can be there to fill in for an employee that is going on vacation. I have been offered a chance to be up for the permanent position. The company has good benefits and pays decent (around what I want) but I would be working as a production artist as apposed to a graphic designer like I am looking for. Am I a fool to turn down the opportunity?

you can always quit if you find a graphic artist job....

It's just that I am getting use to the "uncomfortable" feeling but I feel like I should not ignor it for the sake of a possible opportunity. I have had steady work from the three temp agencies and this is the first company to offer me a (chance for the) possition. Durring this time the other agencies have call to send me out to other sites with a couple of them being a little more an hour than the one I am working at now. The temp agency that has me at this job is the largest of them all and I don't want to break any ties with this company. What bums me out is that one of the sites I worked for one of the other agencies had requested that I come back for a week. Because it was only a week and I was already into assigned to this site for a month I had to turn it down. I just feel like might be passing up a good oppertunity. I am not use to turning things down and that is what I am trying to do this time being that I always take the first good thing that comes along.

Always follow your instincts, If the place feels weird to you, there is probably a good reason for it.
I used to be a production artist at an ad agency. I wouldn't go backwards if I were you unless you really need the cash.
Nature gave us instincts to help us stay alive.

FWIW

I got an uncomfortable vibe at the interview stage and took the job anyway. It was the worst job and they were the worst employers I ever had.

Go with the vibe...........

hate to add to your worries Surf..but anytime I had that "gut feeling" and went against it, it wasn't pretty. As it has been said, you felt uncomfortable for a reason and that isn't likely to go away. If you have to ask..you already know the answer my friend. Best of luck
