job hunting tips
Kirby G asked:


I’m trying not to put all my eggs in one basket by continuing my job search in an area that doesn’t have to do with the internet. I’m 27, have a 4 yr degree in English, and did too much temping after college so now it seems I’m stuck because I initially moved out of state after college but then moved back home.. needless to say I don’t have many networking contacts for that reason.

Is it ok to just walk in to offices in, say, an industrial park and ask if they have any jobs? I assume I’d be asked to visit their website, but you never know right? Anyone else get a job this way?

I’ve been applying and interviewing for cust service/entry level jobs for the past 3 months to no avail. And can’t afford fast-food salary but am ready to do it. Just maddening. What did my parents pay for? They’re ready to kick me out but I’m busting my *** 8 hours a day looking. Any help is appreciated.
sorry for the choppy sentences, wrote it on a whim.

I suggest you to try project payday, simply because you don’t need any money up front and you can start making money within 15 minutes. I average around 1,500 dollars every month with it. Check it out at

in the meantime while looking for jobs for your degree, try warehose positions, overnight stocking, ups, unloading trucks for target, try hotels, there are maid services like merry maids, try applying for city government jobs, go to your city website and suburbs around you, try telemarketing (at least there’s base pay) try landscaping or construction, try being a delivery driver like for a beer company or schwan’s or something. try airport jobs like being a baggage handler

i wouldn’t advise it, only because your time would be put to better use searching for those employers who’re seeking personnel right at this moment

go online and send your resume to all of those jobs that interest you, send out as many resumes as you can during the week and set yourself a goal each week, you’ll find something soon

ps don’t worry about the choppy/typo filled sentences -we all do it ;)
