Would you accept a sh*tty job at a good bank?

I’m currently a second year university student having troubles finding good summer work in finance. I was offered an interview for an “administrative position” at a BB in Canada (that’s where I live), which is basically doing all the b*tch work. Literally in the job description one of the tasks mentioned is “cleaning microwave and fridges”. I have other labour work lined up for the summer, but was really hoping to get in a big bank such as this. Would you guys be willing to interview/accept the job given the current position I am in?

Well, if it is the only offer it is better than nothing. But, getting in somewhere without pay could be another option.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.
 

Well, what is on your resume is very crucial for opening up doors in the future. I guess you could potentially network at the office you are doing the admin work at. However, I am not aware of anyone doing that approach.
