My first full paycheck in 4 years

I have finally finish my first full-time week in over 4 years. Which is sadly a long time even by temporary job standards. At $10 per hour, I guess after taxes I would get $335. Definitely more than GPT sites, but there are methods out there of making money online. Not those methods that require an investment and expect to lose most of your money. Hopefully I'll get some more money in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I love technology, but I'm too poor to even afford something decent for my laptop PC.

Back to work

Looks like I'm back to my old job for supposedly 24 days. Oh well, it's decent enough for holiday shopping and paying the bills. I know very well that people will be shopping for technology this year, especially with new releases like the iPad mini. Still need to get more money since I lost my main source from GPT sites.

Out of work, but another job assignment

Out of work for now, but I did get another job assignment for doing email marketing at home. Not too shabby and could help me earn some extra cash since I don't make as much on surveys anymore.

Back to work

Looks like I'm going back to work tomorrow. The assignment is suppose to be until next week, but it could either be finished early or be delayed even further. Once the job is over, I'll be buying an email marketing kit and will be working at home so I'll be using my PC more often. This is just a small stepping stone for me since I still can't find a job here in Georgia. They want candidates with experience so I'm out.

Slow work week

So much for a busy work week when there are only 3 temps. working in our kitting department. I assume there would be more, but due to shipping problems our work has been delayed. I'm still busy anyway and I have to clean up the mess left behind, mostly cardboard to recycle and trash to throw away. At least the money is coming in, but hoping for a full-time job somewhere else is impossible for me since they still ask for relevant work experience. Let's see what next week will bring anyway.

Work is exhausting

Going back to work is exhausting for me since I have been out of work for 7 weeks. My job is to make sure materials are in place, setting up sample kits, load them on pallets and the shipping trailer, and cleaning up our division's trash. It is really strange that the cardboard baler gets full every other day and I have to clean it up. It gets worse when the bale of cardboard gets stuck and I have to get help with another person just to load it on the pallet. It makes me sweaty and tired since other people are busy with work or chatting away.

I just need the money to buy an e-mail marketing software package.

Back to work temporary

Looks like I'm back to work after a long hiatus (7 weeks). Of course, my pay is still the same as 5 years ago at $10 per hour. It is just a temp. job and no other job in Georgia will hire me. Simple reason is that most require experience in the field and I have none of that for my business degree. The job assignment will last 3 to 4 weeks then I'm back to job searching for nothing. Life is cruel to a middle-aged person with a BBA degree.

Still looking for work

I'm currently still looking for work 9 months after graduation. Everywhere in Georgia employers keep asking for those with relevant job experience. Nothing even remotely entry-level. Not even low-paying jobs are being offered. Might as well make money online even though generally they don't pay as much.

Out of college and still no job

It's been a long time since I last write my blog, but life is still the same as usual. With the latest jobs report from the U.S. government being dismal, job seekers like myself wonder why are we still looking for work when most of the opportunities want you to have at least 3 years of experience. That is a joke, but I can understand from the employer's perspective. However, if they really want to save money employers should hire entry-level candidates who pass their interviews and tests easily so they can be properly trained to work there. The spike in gold prices seem to indicate tough times ahead for the world as countries are facing insurmountable problems. I still make money on surveys, but lately too many people jump in and draining funds out even faster. Instant payments are on hold at PSL. Hopefully people will be looking forward to getting money by any means (not HYIP though).

Still no jobs as usual and professors' say recession is still in effect

After ten months of job searching, I still can't even find a decent job. There is a new Subway that just opened right across from where I live. Oddly enough, the store seems to be hiring only a few people so I went in and applied for it. On other news, my college professors informed students that the recession is still there and that many college students have been looking for work for an entire year. I'm not the only one who is out looking for a job. My age is approaching 30 and I still have such bad luck. On top of that, I don't have the necessary experience to get the job.

This is why I've been trying to sell stuff on eBay, but the amount of income coming in is very miniscule. Don't believe in companies like UPS that say the recession is over. It's complete BS and people are still looking for jobs out there. Being optimistic is incredibly hard with doom and gloom over peoples' faces.

Back to work

After six months of being unemployed, I've finally get back to my old job of production. Even applying for fast food yielded nothing. Looks like nobody wants to hire someone who is willing to work and inexperienced. The work I'm doing is assigned from a temp. agency. Whatever money I can get is saved to my bank account. I did finish building my i7 rig, but lost $200 to a scammer on eBay for frauding five buyers including me. I've been plagued with money woes and it isn't getting any better. I just hope I can land a job that relates to my business degree, as I have only 30 semester hours left.

Back to work Monday

Looks like I'm getting called back to work Monday, so I'll be back to making money for my Christmas shopping. I'm going to spend my money on building my new PC and give my 5 year old PC to my father. It's hard enough to find a steady job here in Georgia, and many of my co-workers need to find them to pay for their bills. If I was younger, I might consider joining the military because of their excellent benefits package at the risk of being killed on active duty. For now, I'm still seeking a job that requires system building PCs and troubleshooting.

No work for today

There wasn't any work today for my brother and I. What is strange is that there is still some work left, but I guess that those temp. workers screwed up the work so much that they were sent home. The job requires to scan health care forms and bundle them together in mailing bags so they can be ready to be shipped out by the U.S. Postal Service. It is really hard to make money in the real world and you are never guaranteed
that the work will be there. Might as well enjoy my time off until I can find some other way to make money.
