Please God, help me find a job


Posted: Jun 2, 2013

I know so many of us are looking for jobs. I am disabled (not legally) its too hard to be totally broke and homeless for a year or two in order to get disability (which is basically what you have to do). Can't get on disability when you're on unemployment and food stamps either. I applied for free healthcare in my city and never heard from them yet. I can't find a job on the MT boards, too many people compete, as I do. So now I have to look for a job outside the home, but I don't qualify for anything. I am trying to get a job as a receptionist or something like that, but that requires bending and standing while filing, which I can't do because of my disability. I can't walk more than 100 feet either. I don't want to move in with my ex-boyfriend because even though he said I can move in with him, he will try to control me again, but he is the only hope I have not to live on the streets. I have been working for 31 years and always proud of being self-sufficient and a good provider. I made more money in the 80's than I did the past 5 years. I recently became unemployed and only getting 168/week due to no work situations until I was terminated. I will turn 62 next year but now all of a sudden, due the the sequestration, I will only get 150/week in my second tier when it comes up in a couple months. Could this get any worse?;

You can live with ex AND look for a job at the same time - wheres_my_job

It will take some of the financial pressure off you...you may have to stand firm and not let him control you...and that can be stressful...but on the other hand, you get some breathing room financially. Good luck!

live with EX - me

I know, theoretically, I CAN live with him and look for a job. But we both argue all the time and we will both get thrown out, I know this because when I moved back here from Florida last year, I lived with him for 2 months until they told us we had to move out, so I just moved out by myself with my friends financially helping me to get the apartment. Although he and I are friends, the thought of living with him again depress me so bad that I would rather jump off a bridge...oh wait, I can't climb any fences so I have to think of something else. Is anyone else extremely depressed out there? I have not once felt like this EVER. Totally hopeless, cornered and no where to go. I can't even live in my car cause my car would be towed from where ever I park.

I'm in the same spot. Disabled but not disabled enough, broke but not broke enough. I finally resigned from MT because I did not want to jeopardize the life of a patient due to my failing vision, brain fog, or other symptoms I struggle with. I once made enough money to support my husbands growing business and enjoy luxuries in life. I'm now stuck in marriage that turned abusive out of nowhere.
Little by little, things have started to improve. I was offered a place to live rent free, I received scholarship to learn a new skill that is not so physically demanding, and most importantly, I'm finding the confidence needed to slowly dig out from the depression/anger.

Have you ever thought of being a Virtual Assistant - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I hope these links are helpful. I heard about Virtual Assistants awhile back. I have not done it myself, but it's worth looking into:

http://virtualassistantjobs.com/

http://www.examiner.com/article/virtual-assistants-are-an-asset-to-freelance-writers

http://www.flexjobs.com/

Here is one that I have a friend who sent me this and has applied for a couple things, but I have not talked to her in a long time, but this website has more than just MT. It has customer service reps and other things.

I will keep you in my prayers. Hope something works out.

We have a chance to work together both republicans and democrats and yet both sides are still bickering like elementary school children...including all of us on this board.  One side is never going to be 100% right all the time.  So how about we all open our minds a bit, grow up a little, and embrace our fellow Americans no matter whether they are democrat or republican, black, white, hispanic, etc.  We are all Americans and even though we don't agree on everything...we do ha ...

is that the very people screaming support for unions and complaining their rights are being taken away, etc.  What about the people who live in a forced unionism state and are forced to join a union?   Where are their rights?  Where are their choices?  Right-to-Work laws do not force employees out of unions but allows them to opt-out of union membership if they want to and does nothing to ban unions from the Right-to-Work states. It simply gives the employee an opt ...

Where Do You Find Coupons?Jan 06, 2011

By Megan Carpentier Republican candidate Scott Brown, running to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, has a problem with more than just Martha Coakley. As Coakley's new ad points out, he also has a problem with rape victims. From Sarah Palin denying funds to reimburse hospitals for performing forensic rape examinations to the 30 Senate Republicans who voted against allowing rape victims their day in court, the new Republican party tough-on-crime platform is, apparently, that rape vict ...

Is It Possible To Find Love In Your 50s?Jul 05, 2016
While I'm considered "very attractive" (obviously, that's subjective) for my age, it is getting more and more difficult to find quality men to date. Part of my problem is that I live in a city comprised of mostly retirees and college kids, so the middle-aged folks are a smaller demographic.  That said, I am approached just about every day I venture out of the house.  But, you know how that goes -- they're too old for me, or married, or -- whatever.

Funny and suspicious. INTERESTING: I belong to 3 different fairly large forums that are mostly women, none of them political (2 are occupational, one is craft-related). Each one has a board for political discussion. Women from all over the country, across the age, race and religious spectrums. Reading these boards, it's very easy to see that there isn't any particular preference for Clinton among these all of these women. It's about even, I'd say. I think those b ...
