More job hunt dullness

selenayFinally got the second interview set up, but have ended up with a dilemma.
An agency called today about a job that sounds absolutely great, just what I wanted, do I want to apply? Of course I said yes. But I've also been honest and asked how long the recruitment process is likely to take - i.e. will I know within a few days whether they want me for an interview and how soon would they be interviewing? On the one hand, this job is much closer to what I really want to do and I'd be daft to not take the chance.
On the other hand, the other job isn't really what I want to do but I'm at second interview stage and I don't want to turn it down and then find that the other job doesn't pan out. Financially, I can't afford to spend many months more temping and I have this nagging worry that companies won't hire me if I'm out of work for much longer.
On the other hand, I could temp full-time on a perfectly good salary and therefore be able to hold out longer for the good job to come along.
On a fourth hand, what if this is the last time I get an application even to the interview stage? Are employers going to start looking at my CV, see that I graduated five months ago and start asking why I'm still not employed?
On a fifth hand...
You can see whether my worries are going, here *sigh*
