Job ideas, anyone?
I am so stressed right now. I am hoping some of you may have some ideas for us. LeCount and I no longer get unemployment. The mystery shopping has slowed (I don't see any available shops on any of the sites I go to). Our only income now is the money from watching the 2 kids (basically, nothing)... So, anyone have some ideas? LeCount has applied almost everywhere for a full-time job, or so it seems. I was thinking maybe retail now, until he can find something better. Anyone know of a store in particular that is hiring? Also, I think I will have to do something at night and on the weekends. Any ideas? Thanks, guys!

I don't know how pizza delivery pays in your area but it's a popular night/second job here. Newspaper delivery ditto, but it's an early-morning job instead.
Retail for sure is an option while looking. So is temping if there's any temp work in your area... I wish I had better ideas.

I am not sure of any specific job, but I have heard countless people talk of the Church's Employment center as being a fantastic place to train for, and get, jobs. They help with having the resumes 'just right,' presentation, etc. I think it would really be good to check into it!
That's a good point-- Jeff got a lot of help from them and I know in the Dallas area they get notice of available jobs that aren't posted anywhere else. And you don't need a referral or anything, you just call them up.

I just thought of this one: I've heard good things about Alpine Access. Have either of you applied with them?

Just heard of another one!

It's "Field merchandiser: part time." Apparently it's going and putting up/changing the little pop-up coupons in the grocery store. Not much but good for part-time supplemental, working 4-30 hours a week (most hours are at the beginning of the month.)

The merchandiser job is perfect for in the meantime. I put in for that one. LeCount is still plugging along looking for things. What is Alpine Access?
It's customer service, home-based.
