Devon Gibbons Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Could someone help me work on my resume? I've been unemployed for (_gasp_) 2.5 years and I don't really know what to say about what I have done. I have done some schooling within that time, but haven't any degrees or certifications. If anyone has experience in helping people with resumes or knows of people who offer their services free of charge (or payed), I'd like to hear from you. **If anyone has experience in finding work after long periods of unemployment and succesfully reintegrated into the world, please send me a private message and share your experiences (or just add your experience down below) and I'd like to chat with you and ask you more.** Maybe you could offer some sort of mentoring advice and support during this time in my life if you'd be interested. If anyone would be interested in sharing their knowledge about how to use job search engines, I'd like to hear any veteran advice you have, and if you're willing, would really appreciate one to one time with your help with that, especially if you're proficient with these websites. I'm not looking for a particular job right now- I don't think that it would be useful to be very picky right now- because I am living with my sister and will be kicked out in two weeks if I don't find a job, so yeah. Maybe I'll find my favorite job and and pursue the line of work through to the end of all time - it's a possibility... Discounting the usefulness of wishful thinking -- Base necessity: I need a part time job that I can make 200 dollars a month from. I live in Lawrence, Kansas right now; if anyone lives here or around here maybe you have some connections or friends you can put me in contact with? That's a bit of a stretch I know for many people and would take some uniquely kind soul, but I thought calling on any kind people out there willing to reach a helping hand out to a stranger to get to know me would be a good move. I'm quite tongue tied, meek, and nervous. If anyone's got this problem or had it, how did you deal with it when interviewing? If you don't have many ideas yourself, but a person comes to mind that might offer help to me, gratis, (or someone worth a few cents) I'd very much appreciate you acting as an intermediary between us. Really appreciate anyone's interest in helping me out! Thank you so much for reading.
Devon Gibbons Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Also, I haven't really any connection with my old jobs, no references :S I quit my last job without notice. Edit: First post will show up shortly, I assume.
NotDarkYet Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 My 2 3 4 cents: 1) Indeed.com 2) Improve your brevity 3) Work for little to no pay to get your leg in the door 4) Help a business in any way you can. You'll become valuable.
labmath2 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I don't know how it is in Kansas, but telemarketers in NYC are always looking for people. The only catch is you have to approach strangers and its all commission.
