Got an offer from a SME, since I resigned without a job las month i have been jobless for close to a month. Hubb advised me to just take up as backup plan, in case the ministry fall back on their words. Also, he say to take up for financial reasons, still got loans and all very hard to wait for a month plus. The ministry did say will expedite for me. Should i just take up while waiting got the ministry? Its manpower division, will they find out?

And I actually may be waiting for other offers and i dont quite like this role so if i choose a backup should i choose something i like instead? And is it really unprofessional to work somewhere when u r pending clearance for another job? Pls advice, very very vexed, we need money and the ministry oso dont knw will suddenly chu pattern and i end up no jobs leh
