Penguin 2 Week work experience

Those who received and completed the 2 week work experience that Penguin does every few months - did it help you in getting a full time role in publishing soon after?

- they do this in the uk, so any answers from uk would be helpful thanks!

Job Offer Unsure- Help

I’m really confused and would appreciate some advice.

I had a second-stage interview today for a junior admin/ support role, and I’ve now been offered the job on the same day. The speed of the decision is making me overthink everything.

During the interview process, I didn’t feel a strong “fit” with the role or environment. The office felt quite corporate and different from what I expected, and the work itself seems more admin-heavy and structured than I think I’d enjoy long-term. I also just didn’t get a very warm or engaging vibe from the team (they were fine, just quite reserved). After the interview i went home and i was hoping i dont get it bc idk i felt they were abit kinda of like mean girls (there were 2 men one woman), like they didnt care for my answers and my asnwers for the computer tasks were wrong, i even mispelt a few things

Now I’m stuck because:

  • I don’t want to turn down an opportunity in a tough job market
  • But I also feel like I would struggle to enjoy or stay motivated in the role
  • I’m worried about regretting either decision
  • And I’m also questioning how quickly they made the offer (same day), which is making me overthink things even more

There’s also a small part of me hoping for something more aligned with publishing/creative work in the future, which makes me unsure if I should take something I already feel uncertain about.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful or like I’m overthinking a good opportunity, but I also don’t want to accept something I already feel uneasy about.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you decide whether to accept or walk away?

I kind of feel like I am being punished or tested in a weird way, bc ive been job hunting for year and the one job i feel so terrible about is the one i get, and the ones ive spent so long practicing and working for i get rejected
