Best so far!

A month ago I posted after having my worst showing at a craft fair (2 buyers, both other vendors, and no one else). (Second picture was my set up that day)

I went ahead and took people's advice, changed up my set up, and had a great market today(new set up in first picture)! It does help that there was no major holiday today and the weather was good 😄 I had to actually move my stock around to fill up holes from people buying, which felt so gosh darn validating. But adding some more color, having a clear price list, and making my layout more dynamic felt like it all added up to my best show ever.

So thank you all for the advice and encouragement!

Is this actually 1099?

I'm on look for a new job and I'm going to do an in person interview at a surprisingly promising place. One surprise however was that I wouldn't be w2 but rather a 1099 employee, being as I'd only be a part timer. After doing some (brief) research, there are some weird details.

This job has:

-Standard pay rate, with built in raises.

-Set hours/shifts (thought I can take more of offered). Would only be 30 a week, so I'd be technically part time. W2 would be offered for full time employees. And opportunities to move up to full time.

-I would be working as a receptionist using their methods and equipment, not just doing my own thing.

-They offer both PTO and Sick time.

-And health insurance. PPO at that.

I know as 1099 I'd be responsible for deducting all my taxes, plus being able to adjust my gross income, etc. I'm just wondering if this job is misclassified? Or is it okay since this would be for part time work?

EDIT: I'm in Illinois
