[QUOTE="klmno, post: 373634, member: 3699"] I have heard of linked in but not used it- I am already using monster and a few others, including our state employment web site. I'm going to call around to a few temp agencies. I am signed up with one as a result of going for that job related to my field. When I didn't get that job the lady at the agency said I could call them each Monday morning to let them know if I was available for work but she said most of their clients were looking for typists who could type 60 wpm or something like that. I could do receptionist and office work, answer phones, etc, but can't type anywhere close to 60 wpm. I'm thinking that there must be other temp agencies that have a broader range of clients and needs. There is a large employment agency that places a lot of people in my field and related professions. I check on their website and call them periodically but so far they have complained about nothing being out there in this industry, too. Maybe if I google to find others in this region I can find others and check into them. I got one email in response to my search yesterday. I now have a phone interview set up for next week but don't want to jinx it so I won't say much about it. LOL! I'm not sure how much I can get done ion this area today- I was planning to pull more out of closets and set up for another yard sale. Then I can start taking the most worthless stuff to the dump and emptying drawers in bedroom furniture next week. I have two appts on two different days at VA next week, court one morning, and this phone interview next week so it won't be my most productive week at home, I'm sure. Also, I wrote difficult child and told him I'd visit him before the court date because once he's turned over and transferred to Department of Juvenile Justice, we aren't allowed to visit for at least 30 days. I think it would be a good idea to get thru a yard sale tomorrow, research this stuff online Sunday, then make some calls or whatever I need to do to pursue these avenues on Monday and Tues. [/QUOTE]
