But I'm fairly sure I've already said 'no' to having holiday in the interview/application stage! It's 10 days off I'd need in total. Means getting off to a bad start, by having my induction day then pissing off for a couple of weeks

Jesus what are they going to inject into you for that wedge of cash
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I would do that, but I'm currently so desperate for a job really. I've been looking for one for 5 months and this is only my second interview ever. (The first one didn't hear back since) So I'm kinda desperate because of so much failure. I would really do almost anything now to not waste the rest of my gap year and to earn some ££
Funnily enough I'm in exactly the same position. Wasted a huge chunk of my gap year trying and failing to find work (had 2x 3 week temp positions, one at Royal Mail - hoped that would become permanent as I knew someone, but alas...), now I've been offered a job at RM, but the hours per week make it barely worthwhile - there's not enough time left for me to earn anything substantial and make a use of the next 6 months. The pay is much higher than yours though, £8/hr. How old are you? £4.92 is well under minimum wage for an 18-year-old.
I've got a whole new dilemma now as I may be able to take part in a clinical trial and get £1600 for a week's 'work', but it means turning down the job and starting the jobhunt all over again...

(and taking into account tax it'd take even longer)
