Last job assignment
Looks like I'll be working on the last job assignment for this month. It's stuffing 3 teddy bears with information packets into a box. There are 1,070 of them to put in and load onto the shipping trailer, but the kicker is that only 3 people will work on the line so it'll take at least 4-5 days to finish unless 1 more person is there to load them onto the trailer. Not bad overall and at least I get some money out of it. These teddy bears are the Coca Cola polar bears that you usually see around Christmas in their advertising campaigns.

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.

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.

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.

Still no work
After going back to college, I still couldn't even find a job. I've applied to Best Buy and Domino's Pizza since they were interested in hiring new employees. After a week and still nothing. Everything seems to went downhill for me and I have to pay for my college tuition and textbooks. I'm not here to spend money on junk like other people and I need to save that money to replace some components in my PC, as well as my poor laptop which seems to not boot sometimes.
I don't even have a car and businesses still have the nerve to deny people based on experience and race. Might as well wait and see if new job opportunities will come in. Some people I've talked to at forums are spending money like crazy and I'm out here begging for money. Guess I'll be the laughing stock when I've finished college in 4 years.

Looking for work
It has come to my attention that people here in Georgia are looking for jobs while those who already have them keep them. I need to look for a steady job since being a temporary worker does not bring in much income. I make less that $10k a year, which is below poverty. I went to school and graduated with my Associate's degree in Business, but it still was not enough. People know that I do not speak much, but I have always been productive and never stray from my job. Everyone else just boast, lie, and talk while letting someone else do their work for them. It is time for a change of pace and I have to seek out employment.

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.
