Where The Hell (job sites) Can I Find Another Job
No commentsBy Jeffrey Solochek
With my current job I barely get all my bills paid. I need at least a part time position to supplement my income. Referrals from coworkers never pan out. I’ve gone into all the businesses that are located around where I live. I even applied at Target, had all the skills they were looking for, yet they told me that they were looking for somebody different. The only thing I can figure out why Target didn’t offer me a position was because I am 42 years old. It is almost as if they would rather hire somebody who won’t last like somebody just out of high school.
Craigslist is free and companies post jobs over there all the time but the problem I find with Craigslist is there are a lot of postings of junk, scams, and biz op’s. You end up having to weed through 10 junk ads just to get to one that is real. Most of these jobs give no phone number just either a fax number or email address to reply to. If your ;local McDonald’s put a wanted ad in the classifieds locally or hung up a sign then when applying your app will be 1 amongst maybe a thousand others.
This seems to be the concensus with all companies who post a wanted ad on sites like Careerbuilder, Monster, and Yahoo Hotjobs. It takes months before you ever hear back from any of these companies and I want a job now not 3 months down the road. I’ve tried just call companies in the Yellow Pages but it’s September here in Florida and a lot of these companies tell me they will have nothing until the season starts sometime in October.
Is there something wrong with me? Why can’t I seem to get another job? Do I need to go back through some sort of schooling? I have prior Student Loans so without having to apply for more loans how would I even pay for more schooling? My wife just started one of those small colleges that is all over the internet for Medical Assistant training. The total cost of the entire 2 year program is almost $20,000 not to mention the loss of income because while she is going to school she can’t afford the time to work a full time job.
My father paid for my brothers to go through school but I was one of the lucky ones who was told to raise the money myself and if and when I graduate my father would think about reimbursing me. When he was working his income was too great for me to qualify for any financial aid. At least 20 years ago schooling was a lot more affordable. I purposely did not claim my kids as deductions when I filed my yearly taxes thinking this would help them qualify for financial aid. It turns out that these days whether or not you declare your kids on taxes if they are under 24 years of age they are automatically look upon as your liability.
What about the idea of learning new skills on my own? I can find a lot of information online if I could just find some place where I could take the exams and learn all the material on my own I should be able to save a small fortune. I know a lot about computers but yet I don’t have any of the certifications. I know everything the certificates tell employers you know. Is there a place where I can just take the exams rather than have to go to school to learn things I already know. I’ve taken the online tests for these cert’s and passed them all with flying colors. Where do I go from here?

Looking for At Home Jobs
By Cory Blanchette
Work at home jobs are great if you need to earn a decent paycheck for working flexible hours from home doing something that suits both your skills and personality. At home jobs are perfect for:
Students who need flexible working hours so they can both work and go to school
Retired or disabled people who want to work but are unable to leave their homes, and
Stay at home moms who want to work from home instead of putting their children in daycare.
At home jobs are also ideal for people who just don’t want to deal with:
The pressures of a traditional job, including office politics, jumping through hoops for promotions, and having no control over the amount of their income.
If you fit into any of these categories, you may enjoy at home jobs.
There is a difference between at home jobs and at home business opportunities. While you actually start your own business with at home business opportunities, with at home jobs you are hired to work a job by an employer who allows you to work from home.
The advantage of work at home jobs over work at home business opportunities is that with a business you may not see an instant paycheck. It can sometimes take months to start showing a profit. However, with at home jobs you are paid immediately for the work done and you can take on as many jobs as you feel you can successfully accomplish.
To pursue at home jobs, you need a computer with an Internet connection and an e-mail address. Most of the time communications for at home jobs is done over the Internet. Once you have adequate computer skills and equipment, you can access the plethora of legitimate work at home jobs available on the Internet.
The types of at home jobs available on the Internet include mystery shopping, taking surveys, transcription services, customer service positions, data entry, virtual assistance, design, and much more. The key is finding legitimate work at home jobs while avoiding fraudulent websites offering at home jobs.
Some people never take advantage of at home jobs because they are intimidated by the process of locating them. The good news is that with your Internet connection, you are just minutes away from locating legitimate work at home jobs. If you do an Internet search for “at home jobs,” you will come up with plenty of websites to consider. In addition, check Craigslist and your local classifieds for postings advertising work at home jobs.
While at home jobs can be a great way to make a living, the hard part is determining the legitimacy of at home jobs. Do an online search for your prospective at home employer and read any reviews or scam alerts about them before accepting at home jobs. It may take a little time in the beginning, but once you have found several legitimate at home jobs, you can work them to have the income and lifestyle you desire.
