Would you go for a job that pays well and that you would most likely find OK but not love, or would you hold out hoping to try and get that job you knew you would absolutely love?
Get the job that's okay and keep looking for the Perfect Job. It's always easier to get hired if you're working, or so they say. :) And having an okay job will pay the bills until that Awesome Job comes along!
I went for a three-month contract job that was "okay" (pays bills, gives work experience) and while the tasks I did were quite dull, the colleagues were great and now that I've finished, I miss them. While I was working there, I came across another job, where I am now, and I really like it (I think). So yes, if someone offers you a job that you know you wouldn't immediately hate (for me, it's a call centre), go for it and see where it takes you. See it as a stepping stone if nothing else. :)
