Having heard nothing from Rabobank on either Friday or Monday, I assumed they weren't interested. But as their failure to communicate their decision on the agreed date kept preying on my mind, I couldn't resist the urge to get in touch and ask what's what. Turns out they had tried to contact me yesterday -- to try and set up a date to discuss the terms and conditions of my future employment.
Hmm. I suppose it can't hurt to find out exactly what they're willing to offer me in terms of salary and the like...
Still not sure I want this job. On the plus side, it's a steady job, with a reputable bank, close to home. On the minus side, the position itself isn't very challenging. I don't know how long I'll be able to stick it out.

Hope you continue to be pleasantly surprised!
Congratulations
No I'm not, I think you should take it if the money's up to snuff, because it's a wage, and there's no commute, and you can look for something better (even within the same company) with the cushion of not being on benefits (I'm assuming your dole is not anywhere near what you are used to earning).
Congratulations!
Your assumption is correct.
I hate that in the end, it all has to come down to money. I'm not worried about the secondary terms, as Rabobank has been awarded Best Employer of the Year-status for the second year in a row; but I don't want to have to take another paycut (as I did when I signed with CAD: I earned less in gross salary than I did at hp, but the secondary terms of employment were so good they more than made up for the shortfall; e.g., a premium-free pension). This job offers less hours (36 a week instead of your normal 40), so I expect some sacrifice will have to be made there already.
