Okay well if you guys were me.. and you desperately needed a job.. because more than anything else I want to work. I want to find a job.. so where would you guys go to look for work because this whole indeed.com and craigslist ain't working. Even tried finding focus groups to earn a little side cash but no luck there

get a job at a retail store, grocery store, or fast food. Apply for food stamps, medicaid, and any other assistance that is available to you. continue looking online for better jobs and apply for everything .
 
Draven I merged your two most recent threads because the second thread was copy and pasted from a post in your first thread. It's all the same subject matter so making an additional thread is really not necessary.
 
sorry if i missed it:
What are tour skill sets?

I was a night shift stock clerk lead for almost 10 years and I've done construction, retail, sales. As far as career goes I always wanted to be a doctor or a vet. If not that then working with kids. I've done some preschool teaching and I guess can call this lady that can get me in as a tutor. Thanks guys. I'll stop my complaining and figure this shit out!
 
guess I'll look into that again!
:) Let us know how you're getting on. I'm sure everybody here is supporting you and sending you courage, strength and determination.

I just have this feeling you're gonna fight back against this curve ball that life has thrown at you and next pitch you're gonna smash outta the park.

You're a caring and smart guy with your head screwed on right. You'll rebound and come back stronger. Hope to see you posting here after this has passed helping out others who may be in the same situation you've been in.

The quickest way to get a job is through a temp agency! It is a nearly immediate way to start working

Doesn't the pay suck? I know that's not important in my position right now but don't they also screw you over with the contract? I know a guy who's been working for AT&T and the temp agency helped him get that job but his colleagues all make way more than he does and he said he's getting $15 but the position is $25 so the agency is keeping the extra $10 and he also doesn't get benefits but the rest of the guys he works with does.. kinda fucked up considering they are doing the same work.. would you agree?
 
We are not going to give you money.

I agree. I didn't want to be the one to say it first, but it's definitely starting to sound like the motive here (i.e. "Help me or I'll kill myself.") Good old fashioned emotional blackmail.

Do what you need to do to survive, what are you expecting here with the alluding to keeping this pill in your pocket if we don't hurry to help you?

Learn from this situation and grow, you will be a much better person in the long run. It's painful sometimes, it hurts, I know. But ultimately, there are so many possibilities for you - you're a healthy, young guy.

If you're starving, a job paying 8 dollars an hour or whatever minimum wage is would be taken without hesitation to at least get some money for food and essentials.

Most temp agencies are great for exactly what it says, temporary work, and usually pay more than minimum wage to begin with. For long term contracts and temp to hire, it's better to get hired straight on initially. In your case, that definitely isn't a luxury - and it's definitely not getting ripped off or screwed over, they need to make money too to find you instant work, and it's typically proportional to what work you are doing, skill level, and pay rate.

That's 100% inaccurate that an employee with similar experience, length of service, knowledge and position would make 10 dollars/hour less as a temporary employee versus someone hired directly on the same day. If this is true, there are probably numerous other variables. Typically there is a formula of how much the temp agency takes for a 90 day contract, and they deduct it weekly from each check - also, the company typically pays the temp agency a higher per hour rate than an equal employee for a few reasons, one being they don't pay benefits, etc. that they do for an employee hired straight on, further offsetting the amount you directly pay the temp agency. It typically winds up being a 2 to 3 dollar/hour difference for the temporary period - but again, this is offset, because the company is paying a higher rate for your services to the temp agency than they would pay you directly if you were to be direct hired (in gross pay, it's actually more when you factor benefits and everything else.)

and also, at first you said your parents were getting a divorce, but now they're losing their house and staying with relatives, and you don't want to be a burden on them

The jig is up man.

We are not going to cashapp, email or start you a gofundme so just stop wasting these peoples time

"My parents are also losing their house so I don’t know what they are going to do. They might be moving to Michigan to live with relatives and I don’t want to leave California and be an annoyance living with relatives and bothering them"
 
Draven, you're absolutely full of shit....
OK, then. 😂
Wish I knew you in person: I know we would get along just fine. Prolly get on with most here but it is the open, frank and passion you exude that really is attractive. Your posts are forever.
Hey... looks like imma be single after 25 years. Getting my license straightened out and getting a car in the next month or two. Going on a long ass overdue road-trip and would absolutely cherish any time I may be able to spend with this family... however briefly it may be.
You right next door @LadyAlkaline ...=D Would hate to miss a chance to meet you.

Let me clear things up right now What I meant was my parents are losing the house and because of it they have been fighting a lot due to their finances and it’s been going on for a while but my father is moving to Michigan to live with his side of the family and my mother is living with hers in Chicago.. and they would of taken me had it not been for my father’s tough love telling me to figure things out on my own. I don’t hate him for it.. but at the time it pissed me off but it’s not a problem anymore.

I met a guy the other day who asked me if I wanted a job and I said yes of course, and he asked if I knew anything about pool cleaning. Anyways I start tomorrow so I guess things are going to start looking up but I just want my name here to be cleared in that I’m not a fucking begger and I wasn’t lying to you guys and just asking for money. I was in a bad spot and I freaked out that’s all. I guess I can be quite the drama queen.. but believe what you will. I don’t have time to prove myself to anyone. You can hate me for my thread.. and I’m sorry I even started it in the first place. Just got lost and didn’t know where to go. I’ve always been bad when it comes to asking for help. And maybe it came out wrong when I asked but I wasn’t asking for anyone on here to give me money and if it sounded that way then I apologize. Anyways that’s all I wanted to say. Take care! God bless!
 
Hey man, that's great news about the job. Congrats. Could you hook me up if you end up cleaning some rich divorcees pool? Willing to trade on her looks if she has enough dough :)

Seriously though, I don't think anybody here hates you. We're glad to have you here and just as glad that things are looking better for you.

Please feel free to visit anytime, especially if you see a call for help from someone who is in your situation and needs some guidance (although opinionated) and perhaps a little comfort.

Safe safe buddy, let us know who you get on.

Thank you man! I appreciate that! Yeah I thought everyone hated me after my thread and thought I was using them and trying to get money off of them and it wasn't anything like that. It probably came out the wrong way or I approached it the wrong way without really thinking about it and if that's the case then I do apologize! And yes of course I'll hook it up with the cougars lol I actually know of one who lives in Orange County out here. She stopped talking to me soon as she found out I had a wife but that was 2 years ago and I still have her on my facebook. We talk here and there. She's divorced and getting her tan on still lol 45... friggin gorgeous! She used to be a fitness model. Killer legs and amazing personality lol I got you bro! Thank you for the post though I appreciate it! I'll definitely keep you guys posted about the job and everything else! Much love!
 
JJ - there is nothing you can do for income? Excluding anything -personal- if you understand my meaning...

I love my job and before I went away, just during the day (I'm selfemployed or i WAS selfemployed) of course I thought about what will happen afterwards. I left 2 days before we had to close the practice (I'm working in the medical sector and we shared the rooms) for 4 weeks because of the Lockdown I never knew this would happen - there was no fight with a colleague, patient, nothing. Directly after the 4 weeks I got really extremely sick and had to stay in bed or the sofa. I'll never forget this SMS (?!): "Would you please leave the practice, I can't stand YOUR ENERGY anymore". There is no boss but a woman who is responsible for the practice - we are paying her rent to use the rooms and so on. I wanted to talk to her immediately but she did not pick up the phone.... ooh sorry, so much blabla.... Fact is: I don't know why and it is not so easy to get a good Freelancer -job here in Vienna.

But last week I had a job interview - nice practice but stupid bitch as a "leader". On Thursday I have the next ob interview - let's see. And another physician recommended me to a colleague, she will call me ( thats what he said).

So no, there is not nothing I can do. Of course I could do anything, but I don't want to if it is really not yet necessary because I love my occupation so much, I did not want to do anything else. And THERE ARE chances, I just have to lift my big arse up and say: " NO, JJ, don't moan, you still have chances".


Most of the time it does work to push myself a bit but today it doesn't..


Sorry guys for moaning and crying around here. I know that there are a lot more people that are really fucked!


JJ
