Hvert - the longer you so without working, the harder it becomes to go to back to work. Research supports this - people who have not worked for 18 months or longer are likely never to work again.

If you really plan to return to work and are not independently wealthy, taking this position just would be a good opportunity to build some 'work muscle'. If you look at it that way, it really doesn't matter what type of work it is. And if it does become a full-time position, you don't have to take it.

You will probably have to work through some fears and anxiety if you do accept this job but that is part of why it would be important to do it.
