Unfortunately, that’s the sad reality of my current situation, as well as countless others who lost their jobs due to the mortgage debacle.
I’ve sent out about 200 resumes in the past 6 months and was pretty much offered 2 jobs in industries that I was not interested. Besides, both jobs had starting salaries of $30k a year, too low to support a couple in Los Angeles…with a baby due this fall.
I can’t seem to get an interview for a good company in an industry that I am interested in.
So, I took a part time job at an internet company making minimum wage, plus commissions. With commissions, I’ve been averaging about $11/hour, due to the 6 month old leads that we’re calling.
I am hanging on by a thread.
More income is needed, so the search is still on for another good part time job in addition to this one.
