Category: Jobs and Employment
This morning, I finished a list of employment and work-at-home sites that I've been compiling all week. There are some very well-known ones (like Craigslist), some that are specifically for people with disabilities (like ucp.org), and some that I'd never heard of before (like assemblyjob.com). I've been visiting them, and I've run into 3 main problems:
(1) trying to figure out if any are scams. I won't touch any site that asks for my bank info, but I think that in order to weed those out, I'll have to go through the registration process on every single site.
(2) Finding the ones that pay enough for my specific needs. For example, there's a great website called mylot.com that pays you every time you post something, but the pay is only $0.03 per post on average. I'd have to work about 12 hours every single day to earn about $50 a month, which is impractical and which I can't do anyway because I don't have my own computer. One of the sites on my list is Associated Content. I like the look of it, but it doesn't say how much it pays. Luckily, I know someone who has used it, and I'm waiting on a response from her.
(3) Some of the sites require you to have a resume, which I do not at the moment. The job placement specialist at Clovernook is going to help me put one together, but it may not be finished for a few more weeks.
I wish direct sales was feasible for me right now, but given the time limit with which I'm working, I think I'll wait to get started with that until I'm actually in school next semester, at which time I think it'll be great for me.
Has anyone else ever been through this? Any suggestions on how I can simplify this process would be greatly appreciated.
Later,
Becky
