I thought that I was finally getting #work from one of those #gig sites. I got an #email saying it .However, when I went into this site, there was no message about it. It might have been a #scam. I really do need to work. I am sick and tired of constantly being #unemployed. This is not my first time. It's the first time that I am without any #income.
@larrygmaguire There is one problem with your suggestion. I came back to live with my mother which I thought would be temporary. And I haven't been networking all that much. I did try someone who I went to #university and they asked me apply on the #website. Plus I don't have a #printer (Because #ink is expensive). I am not great with #selling myself (There is another reason which I will not get into here). I haven't been out much lately. It's -25 degrees where I am right now.
@larrygmaguire Not everything works for everyone. I have tried to network, but I only got the message to #apply online for a job. Yep, people said that. I moved back in with my mother 2 years ago, and I haven't been out social. I don't know anybody who want to hire me. I'm not good with #selling myself. There is a story with that which I will not get into here. I don't own a #printer because ink is expensive. But I have to go to Staples to print something....
@adhdcanadian try something. Something works for everyone. If you do nothing, nothing happens.
@larrygmaguire Problem with that is that not everyone will get the same #results. Being an #unemployed #writer I have read tons of articles about how to make money online. I did try them and those didn't work for me. But I am #writing online to grow my #audience. And it is slow but worth it. But I am looking for all avenues of employment not just one. My own gut feeling is telling me to get a main job, and look for #gig work on the side. Who wants to be unemployed with no other #income?
@adhdcanadian yes do that. do whatever is necessary to cover your basic income needs. Then in your spare time #work on your craft.
@larrygmaguire I am wondering why my toots here aren't saved? Maybe there is too much to say about your suggestions.
@larrygmaguire You did give me an #idea to try something that got me my last #job. I advertised myself on the 4 Hire page on https://www.milkmanunlimited.com. I have tried other times without #success. I will try it again later.
@adhdcanadian I think those sites are a waste of time. Look locally. Find small biz network in your area and join. Reach out to everyone you know, tell them what you’re doing and you’re working for yourself and ask them to look out for you. That’s the best way to start. Write physical letters to potential clients and Inc your CV. I did these things 20+ years ago when I started and I’m doing them again today now that I’m starting again. They work!
