The obverse Devil card represents opportunities to accept a temporary job. The Devil indicates a choice that could be seen as a risk, as uncertainty is present in this type of work, but at the same time it also suggests the possibility of learning new skills that may come in handy in the future. The card shows a male figure with wings and horns who is holding two female figures by the hand. This indicates the possibility of finding a balance between one's responsibilities and enjoyment, thus creating a harmony between work and private life.

The Four of Pentacles card represents the challenges of taking on a temporary job. The card shows a man clutching four deniers to his chest with which he is trying to build something, in reality we don't know what he is. This indicates that there may be difficulties in financially managing this type of work due to the uncertainty of him, but at the same time suggests that one can also learn to profit from these situations.

Three of Wands represents the result of taking a temporary job. The card shows three sticks that appear to belong to a soldier, someone who is ready to face life's challenges and take care of himself. This indicates that even if you face difficulties in accepting a temporary job, you will still achieve positive results and be able to demonstrate your skills and competences.

From the papers selected we can conclude that accepting a fixed-term job can be seen as an opportunity, as it offers the possibility to acquire new skills and balance one's work with one's private life. However there will be challenges to face, especially financially, but if you manage to overcome them there will still be some positive results in the end. Considering all these aspects, it is more likely that you should accept a temporary job to take advantage of the opportunities offered and evolve professionally over time.
