I used to Rep for a distributor traveling three weeks out of four and was laid off in 2008 DAYS after Obama was elected.
I have been at home with the kids ever since, first to care for our disabled child until he passed away and then to care for our three youngest all still under five. If my wife didn't work for a company that had health insurance I would be working and she would be at home.
In the last month I have been inundated with Emails from recruiters. NONE have any real jobs with pay available. ALL are for commission only sales or the ‘opportunity’ to invest in a franchise or business.
I did however apply for a third shift factory job I would love to get, even though at best it pays less than half what I was making before. But the hours would be great for me.
I hope they call back. It would be nice to make some money.
Hope it work. Most jobs are fake or EEO backscatter. Lots of nonsense and a major waste of time. Virtually impossible to speak to anyone who really has the ability to do anything.
Lotsa fake jobs on Craighslist. Almost never give a company name.
Lotsa fake recruiters too, with “companies” that you’ve never heard of. Just somebody seeing if they can sell someone else.
I haven’t seen anything of serious value. Most of it is bizarre niche work or has crazy unrealistic expectations.
s/b “Hope it works”.
Last place I was at, they had a mess they had created over a 40-45-year-period. And wanted somebody to figure it all out and fix it in just a very few months.
Well, gee, I want to win Powerball. About the same odds.
