I Need to Make money....Laid Off

Please call my company, Express Employment Professionals at ###-###-####. We have customer service and administrative positions available.

I have been where you are & am now on disability because I could not keep a job because of it. When it got desperate I sold books at Half Price books, DVD's & CD's at a place like Movie Trading Co (good money for them. Call 211 & they can give you places to call for help such as Tarrant County Dept of Human Services & Catholic Charities.

Fina please call me and I will give you some suggestions. I've been there. I don't have much time right now to email, but I would be very glad to talk to you. My name is T. O'Connor and my no. is ###-###-####. Hope to hear from you.

Hi Fina,
I am a single mom since my son was 2months old. He is now 6years old. I now have a boyfriend, so I get more help now. I always did everything on my own so I know some what you are going through. I have always worked so I don't know that part of it. I am not sure if this helps but, you can go on several sites to help find a job. I am not sure what area you are in. One site is called Indeed.com or craigslist.com All you do is put what type of job you are looking for and the location and you can e-mail them your resume or sometimes you can fax it. I hope this helps you. Also I'm not how much this would help but, here are some number's that help single families Salvation Army they can help with food ###-###-#### they are in Irving on Grauwyler and here is Irving Cares ###-###-#### they also help with food ask for Teddie Story. Good luck. Just remember god nevers gives you more than you can handle. Things happen just to make you stronger.

Hi Fina
Where do you live? Are you looking for a full-time 8-5 job? You might check out snagajob.com... they are mostly restaurant, department store, fast food jobs. I work at UT Southwestern in Dallas, we have a lot of 'clerical' positions.
Also, I am a Home Interiors Consultant. You are 'self-employed', hold home shows... some women who really 'work' it, make around $40,000 a year. If you are interested in that, let me know and I can take you to our meetings (which are usually held on Monday nights, twice a month)

American Airlines
Novo1-my friend just started working day and night shifts paid weekly
Express Personnel in beford hiring for HCA (direct placement) health insurance customer service and collections and for Nuvell customer service and collection for auto loan branch of GMAC-you will need a clear criminal background

workintexas.com...many companies list jobs there and you can also look for state,government, and university jobs..as a matter of fact UTA had some openings for administrative assistants and recruiters.

Depending on your circumstances and daycare for kids if needed Wal-Mart, Kroger, Target are easy to get hired on with- to just get you buy while your waiting for the job you really want.

Good Luck!!

Apply at CCA in Lewisville on Mill St. in Old Town for financial assistance. ###-###-####. Ask for Rosa, she is one of my customers....tell her the tamale lady sent you. She can transfer you to the correct people. They can help with rent, food job training etc! Good Luck to you and God Bless you and your family. I was once a single mom with no one to help me either....I reached out like you did and with the grace of strangers, friends and family, I was able to persevere and overcome.

Nina,

I work from home for a company called "correct credit solutions" they have a current job posting on "hot jobs" call them and ask for Dave Hinson, tell them A. referred you.

It's a great way to make money and still work from home or even part time.

Good luck!

I would suggest registering with a temp. agency or working with a recruiter. Hope that helps.

check ouf www.newstudy.info . They have some part time job opening or look under 'current studies' in that website, see if you qualify to participate in their studies ... something like getting paid to try out some products. There's no selling! They need participants for market research purposes.
hope that helps!

My sister recently told me to let everyone know that TXU/Oncor is hiring in all capacities. You can dial 211 and get advice on different forms of assistance you may qualify for in your TEMPORARY situation of unemployment. Hope this helps.

You need to go to your local workforce center. They can help you find a job in that field there are numerous jobs out there and they can refer you to other agencies to help out since you are a single mother as well.

I do a wonderful Home Based Business Creative Memories, No Inventory and it's a Christian based business. look on my website www.mycmsite.com/anitacopeland & see what you think/ I'm also having a Get Together Easter Crop on Fri 3/28 from 4 to 11 PM in No. Arlington near I30 & No. Fielder. It's to crop pictures, use my tools and hourly drawings and dinner. RSVP ###-###-#### A. C.

Have you tried registering with Work In Texas? It is a wonderful resource and actually has great information. Try going into your local TWC office for some help.

where do you live?
im living in garland, i know its not easy, i was there too... if im close to you i can take care of your kids while you at work, because you will find something don't worry!!

If you were laid off you have the rights to file unemployment. I've been laid off before and it sure does help pay some of the bills...that is at least the mortgage. I also am a single mom, no husband/boyfriend, nor have ever asked or taken anyones helps. Keep your head it. But you should go file for that in the mean time. Oh and temp agencies will also give you some kind of start.

Hope it all works out.

I don't know where you live but Seven Eleven is hiring in the clerical areas. This is in downtown Dallas. Go to their website and you can find the listings. I know someone who recently went to work there and loves it. Good pay, good to great benefits. Relaxed atmosphere. They recently brought all of their accounting back from India so no worries there. God Bless!!

Have you registered with a temporary service? usually they can find something for you pretty quickly, depending on what area you live in. Also, you get paid weekly.

What part of town are you in? Email me at ____@____.com I own Cornerstone Chem-Dry and a call center, Virtual Office Solutions. I am not sure if I have any positions right now, but I might .
Thanks,

Hi Fina,
I've been a single mom, too, in the past and I know how very difficult life is for you. My heart goes out to you. This may sound trivial to you at this time, but some time in the future you will look back on these days and wonder how you did it. The answer is really that you did it because you had to for your children.

Do you belong to a church in the area? If not, I encourage you to look for a good church to attend and to get involved with. You need the support of others when going through such hard times. If you are going to a church that does not provide this support, I suggest you find one that does. Also, there may be some known job openings through a church network. Some churches have benevolent funds that are set aside to help families like yours, as well. I would love to invite you to my church The Church On Rush Creek at Bowen and Green Oaks in South Arlington. We have an excellent children's program and activities for all ages.

Also, Fina, if you are interested in working at home, check out this website. www.homemommy.biz No cold calling, no door-to-door, no parties, no inventory. I will be happy to give you any additional information you would like.

Best wishes and God's blessings,
~ N.

Check the Time Warner Cable or T-System website to see if they are hiring. Customer Service depts nmlly have high turn over, so most major companies with a Customer Service dept should be hiring...well, I would think.

Dig out the old clothes your children can no longer wear, the decent ones, and sell them to a consignment store.

If you have any extra cell phone or electronics/appliances, post them on Ebay for sale.

A pawn shop could be an option if you really have to go that far. They nmlly don't give you very much for your items though.

Does Half Price bookstore buy old books? Maybe you can sell your old CDs to a CD warehouse.

Hope it helps. I'll be praying for you and your family. (And if you need encouragement, you could listen to K104 on Sunday mornings at 7:30, or log on to www.ibocjoy.com for a live broadcast)

This is by no means a long term solution - but if you need immediate cash it could help...if you have any gold jewelry - go sell it. Gold is at an all time high right now - and if you have any necklaces or bracelets that are 10 or 14K - you can get cash for them at places like the Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange.

Best of luck - hope you're back on your feet soon!

I am a Marykay independent sales Director. You could sign up to be a MaryKay Beauty Consultant to make extra money. I have a full time job and selling MaryKay on part time basis and making enough extra buck.
With Marykay, you will have extra MONEY, Rewards, develop Self Confidence, earn the use of a career car, Tax advantages and ofcourse be your own boss. If this sounds good, please checkout my web site www.marykay.com/nikkys or send me email at ____@____.com

Hello Fina,

My name is K. and I work for Adecco. We have several openings we need to fill. Please call our office at ###-###-#### and we can see how we can help you get back to the workforce.

Good luck...and hats off to you for being a single mom...

I know you will get tons of responses, but if you can tell me where you live, maybe I can help with your children in some way. I live in Grapevine. B.

do you live in the Dallas area? There are survey/research companies that pay $75-100 for your time (an hour or two) to sit on a focus group and discuss products. I have done it 2x and they are legit and they hand you a check or cash as you walk out the door. they are both in North Dallas so you would need someone (hopefully a friend for no charge!) to watch your kids for a little while.

Do you barter? Bartering is a wonderful thing for receiving things you need. I don't do it enough! I used to be a massage therapist and I bartered my services for things like jewelry, chiropractic services, even spaces in holistic fairs so I could promote my business (I once gave Wayne Dyer and Joan Borysenko a massage...wow!). Think about what you can offer and what you need. Think outside the box. I just read about a woman who started fixing healthy meals that she put in the freezer. Her neighbor saw the casserole and wanted it, so she bought it. Next thing she knew, she had quit her job and was selling healthy frozen casseroles for a living. Is there something like that you can do? I am a full time student living on part time tutoring and student loans, so I'm looking for ways to increase my income as well.

Good luck, and let me know if you come up with some good ideas I could use as well,

E.

my heart goes out to you and remember you are not alone god has had his hand in this i will pray for you i am also a single mom i have one son and it is hard i can't imagine with 3 i have had friends who have tried temp angecy also citi bank they are always hiring for customer service i think parkland are hiring i think you can go on line to fill out the application try alot of the car dealership like the ones that are really new and church my church family and my pastor and is wife help me alot so if you don't have a church find one that is the best advice i can give you

alittle about me: I am a single mom i am 45 neve thought i could get pregnant i lost 3 babies and victor is my blessing sent from god

I don't know if you have a home church, but our church, Gateway in Southlake has a HUGE Single-mom's ministry and helps single moms with so many things! I know some moms have gotten cars or car repairs help with bills,clothes, food, etc...Our website is www.gatewaypeople.com if you are interested in visiting our church. Come and get involved and let God change your life!

I'm surprised only one person said it so far, but the first thing you need to do is get on unemployement. If you were laid off then you are eligible. B/c a Garage Sale is not "extra money" in your case, and I'm sure it won't be enough to cover the majority of your expenses.

You said it's been about a month since you've worked, at this point you will probably also be eligible for food stamp/TANF benefits as well.

I second the others, sign w/ a temp service, check craigslist, clean houses, or whatever you can do.

Good luck to you and God Bless

criagslist it's free and people will buy anything on there. as long as you have internet a digital camera.
it's a way to make quick money....

Good morning Fina!
I have a few suggestions for you. Having a garage sale is a great idea, but for larger items or items that you feel are in good condition for someone else to use can be put on this website http://dallas.craigslist.org/. If you have exercise equipment, childrens items such as high chairs, bookshelves, anything else you are not using and just storing would be worth it.

Also I would recommend you attend a class offered by Dave Ramsey class on financial stewardship. It is both fun and very informative.

Fina, if you would like an opportunity to be at home with your children and have an income I would be happy to talk to you about the Mary Kay business opportunity.

Finally Fina, I hope thy belong to a place of worhip that may be abel to offer you the help you need until you get on your feet. There are several services that provide the food, funds and other things that can give you some support.

Have a wonderful day!!
P. Mc

Fina,

I would normally ask people what their deepest passions are in life - what drives them - secret desires they have held their whole lives...

But I understand what it is like to need money, and need it now. While you could easily contact some of the jobs that people have listed here (very gracious of them), there is something that could make you a lot more money.

House Cleaning.

I know, I know, it is not a glamorous job. But people make some good money by doing it. You tough part will be getting your first one or two houses, but I am sure you have plenty of tenacity, seeing how you are a single mom! :)

Focus on working families, older couples, and upper class. These are the people who are most likely willing to pay you to clean their house. If you do some research, you will find how much people charge to clean a house in your area. (Simply call some house cleaners and pretend you are interested in having YOUR home cleaned.) But, for sure, read about it online. I have read some good tips like having a set list of services included, then charging extra for things like WINDOWS!

Marketing will be the hardest part of your job, but if you are a good cleaner, that will only be in the beginning. Market, market, market. That will create money, money, money.

Good luck to you, and turn your dreams into goals, and always keep your goals in mind.

Let us know what you decide to do!
E.

I have several connections and possibilities for you. Even more possibilities if you are willing to go outside of your previous experience. Also,my husband is looking for someone to help him temporarily and maybe permanently. Please call me at ###-###-#### to see if this would be a fit for the both of us.

Check with City web sites. City's are great places to work: good pay, benefits, no long hours, etc.

Good luck with your search! I will keep you in my prayers.

Can you pick up shifts catering at night? It is getting ready to be the busy season in Dallas for parties. The money is pretty good and you can choose when you work. Since the events are mostly in the evenings, you would still have your days to job hunt.

Here are a couple of names to get you started:

Debra Ratternee Bar and Wait Staff services ###-###-####

Cadena Staffing ###-###-####

Silver Tray Staffing ###-###-####

I am sorry you are in a rough patch. I wish you the best.

Keep fighting the good fight!
