hi guys how is everyone? about me im not feeling ok at all. i just am desperate to find a job. i tried to find an offline job but in my country things are so bad right now i was hoping that i could find an online job as a typist or work in captcha typing. i just really need a job. do you know of any good site where people really get paid and just works like 8 hours a day or 9? if you know please let me know. the payment doesnt need to be big really. i guess that we have to accept what comes to us isnt it?^^ if know of something please let me know..

That really disappointing, friend. Even here in our country looking for a jobs is really hard. That is why I am dependent in online jobs...because I get some and make a good living. Even if this is hard to make some money online. I just need to be patient to make more if possible... Try looking for a jobs in freelancing and of oxl websites. There are many available jobs there. I wish you all the luck find a good jobs online...

im happy that online jobs are enough for you to have a living^^ thats really good. i wish i could just do like you. sadly i dont know about many paying sites online unless mylot and other one that isnt working anymore and other one that i was trying out. anyway i will just try to find a good one. offline is better i guess. even isnt easy to find one but offline jobs are usually more secure than online ones. a site can close and then what do we do? :(

Hello sweet, I remember stumbling into this interview with the Foreign Minister of Portugal in BBC news. it seemed the interviewer or anchor wants to know more from the politician but he kept reiterating that such statements are coming from other EU leaders. i haven't really been hearing a lot from portugal public servants though. i think you are right about the situation of your country, but still nothing compare to what's happening still in my country but at least some education is cheap a bit. i thought you were supposed to presume your work in another country? what happened to that? don't give up ok sweetie

yes i would maybe work in other country. but sadly i didnt receive any news from that couple. yes my country is in a very bad situation. actually i think it will be like in pinas very soon. all the money that my country is having right now is money that other countries gave to us. china, japan and other european countries lent money to my country. so you can guess that our situation is really bad right now. some stores and restos are closing so :(

It's not just in your country. It's hard to get a job just about anywhere. I know how hard it is to get a job. I have applied (and even reapplied) to a lot of different places. Even to places that I didn't want to apply to. After several months of trying I finally got myself a job. It may only be part-time, but at least I'm working now. That's pretty much any one of us can do. Just keep applying and sending out resumes. Don't stop until you get hired! And more importantly don't give up! Good luck and happy mylotting!

Hi sweetloveforeve, Been such a long time since i have heard from you on here. What have you been up to? I have been quite worried wondering if something had happened? Anyway, good to see that you are on here and ok. Now onto your discussion, unfortunately i do not know of any online jobs, i too would love to be able to do something like this when i have spare time, just to give me that little extra income, even if it is a small amount, it is still better than nothing. Sorry that i cannot help you on this but i do hope that you find something very soon. Take care hun. xx

Ughhh it's so frustrating sometimes. I really hope and wish I find a job this Summer!

thanks for understanding me^^ im sorry that you also couldnt find a job yet. its really frustrating sometimes. i feel sometimes like i just want to give up of finding one. but sure i cant do that. i need to help my mother and sure save for my own life. its just sad that we dont get help from the government to find a job. everyone should get help so that way people would feel happier. we all need a job to have a life :(

i just mean that i really need a job and that is so hard to find it it isnt fair that we dont get the chance to show our abilities. it is really hard to be called to do a job where we feel happy. i just wanted a relaxing job where i could work a lot but in peace. i dont like those jobs where people feel stressed all the time. i wish i could find a good job that could make me feel so happy^^ thanks for your reply^^

Well, there are legitimate things online for ways a person can make $$. The problem is not everything is available in every country, and some of them are harder to earn from as well. Jobs overall in all countries are getting harder to come by, and when it comes to earning online there are a lot of SCAMS out there as well. Just look into joining sites that talk about working from home, and ideas that are out there and see what works best for you.

In these tough economic times trying to get a job is very competitive. You must really shine through with what you have to offer - and your interviewing skills have to be exceptional. Many people don't get hired because they simply lack interviewing skills. They don't know how to respond to potential employers to keep them on the edge of their seat. Everything is sales, meaning just like you sell a product, you must learn to sell yourself in the interview so that employers will want to hire you immediately! To increase your chances of getting the job or career that you want I'd definitely suggest that you sharpen every aspect of your job interviewing skills until they're sharp as a knife! Here you can learn a lot of tips and insight about job interview questions and answers http://job-interview-questions-and-answers.net I wish you the best and hopefully you'll find what you're looking for

I feel for you. My husband lost his job 3 months ago and he hasn't found a new one yet. He's been into several interviews but he still has no job. Finances are getting harder everyday and it's taking a toll on our family. We have 2 kids and they're still very young and one just started school. It's just so sad that even if you're trying really hard to find a job, these are hard times and there are not many jobs available. You may try to find a good online job but it doesn't pay as much as what you're earning on a normal work setting. I hope you find a job soon. Good luck!

Yes, i must agreed that finding a job in this current situation is really very tough. It is really very competitive and only those who are able to multi-tasking have the more chance to land into a good job. So, you need to upgrade your knowledge as much as you can, to be able to get a suitable job. In case you need urgently some help to earn through online, you can always refer to my site in my profile. I am trying my best to upgrade as much earning online info to help others.

Hi sweet love forever: Honestly I am passing through the same problem. I am seeking for a better job but for the moment I haven't found the right want that accept me for the job. I'll keep trying over and over again. I just can tell you don't give up. Try to look for the opportunities and also to improve your CV to find better opportunities. ALVARO
