Remember when you are "unemployed" your most important job is to work for YOURSELF.  In other words, spend the same amount each day looking for work as you did working for someone else.\n\nWith so many out of work, it won't be easy.  Use every resource available to you, and find help in the search box of your computer, not only job listings, but job hunting tips.\n\nDon't forget to visit your local colleges and use their job search office (postings are often put up on a board).\n\nI wish you speedy good luck!!

Well, talk to your parents first to see if they or someone else can provide you with dependable transportation b/c employers will have that as a top concern.  Then see with restaurants or stores will hire people your age.  You could also babysit or work for a daycare or tanning salon or office or car wash.  Just decide on what is available for you to do and go from their.  Good luck.

You should be looking for a job rather then be on the computer looking for people to just hand you down money.  I understand that your in a bad situation...but there are things that you could/should be doing.  \n\nTry this site post something there and see if you get anything given to you.\n\nwww.craigslist.org\n\nJust find your city and you can post there.

I have been looking for sometime, now and I cannot seem to find anything legit.  It seems that you have to work for a place 1st and then negotiate working from home-which does not really help us now, does it?\n\n\nI totally wish you luck-like I said, I have been looking.  Did you try the craigslist.com for your area?? it didnt do me any good (at least not yet) but maybe you might find something!

HA! How old are you again?! Honestly, I wouldn't discontinue job searching. File for unemployement if need be while in the meanwhile you can still search. Are there any talents/skills/trade that you have that can make you some extra change?? I agree with changing environments, too. Sometimes a change of venue & establishing a strong network can help you get a job. Don't forget tax time is right around the corner. Maybe someone can file you as a dependent--Or you can file? \n\nWhen job searching you can't be too pickey either when you don't have anything. Try temp agencies, networking, internet, word of mouths, etc. There's a lot you can do to find a job. Don't have too much pride where even working at fast food isn't enough. It's not cute or sexy being picky, broke, & homeless. I suggest finding something out there & save up. Good Luck!

Well, have your parent(s) check your state's website for work age - you may be able to get a part-time job. You could maybe get a paper route, or since the weather is getting nicer out (I don't know where you live), you could offer to cut lawns - doing a really good job will get more money and referals to cut other people's lawns. And, if you do the lawns long enough - you could turn it into a business. If there are elderly in your neighborhood - offer to pick up light groceries (milk, bread...) for them, take pets for walks, do yard work in the warm months, shovel snow in the winter. Ask parents if there's any work around the house, outside of regular chores, that you could help with. I'm sure you are a resourceful kid, and I've given you some ideas for you to build on.  Good luck!

I am not from Houston but could you look in the phone book and see if there is a Habitat for Humanity listed? Perhaps they can help you. Also, if you attend a church, perhaps your minister could ask for volunteers to come over to help do some home repairs and painting etc. There are many retired folks still in good health that may just have the time and desire to  be of service. Also look under Senior Services in the phone book as well under the city or country that you are living and call them. They can give you some leads. I know what a fixed income is, believe me!!! Good luck and I hope you can get some help. Oh, one more thought....call the High School closest to you and ask if there are any groups at school such as The Student Counsil or kids that are taking woodshop classes that could help you. It never hurts to ask. All they can say is, "No" so let's hope there is help out there for you.

Try advertising in your local ads both on and offline. Online, a great one would be craigslist.org. Also, put up some fliers around the areas you're willing to work. Maybe call some offices and see if they're in need of services.

wherever you are, you might try to see if there is some kind of employment agency that sould help you find a job.  when you get into a funk its hard to pull yourself out of it, i know.  but keep your chin up, because things will get better.you could also try to learn the language in your area.  maybe you will meet someone who could help you.

Have you checked the classified ads in your local newspaper? Don't just look for jobs there. Check to see if there are any employment agencies. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book as well. Call these places when you find them and see if they offer help like working up a resume for you. Go to these places and see if they have a Job Board posted with any available jobs. Make sure you are as clean and neatly dressed as possible when you approach anyone about a job. The better you look the more apt they will be to help you. Talk to the people at these places and ask if they have a program that hires young people with no work experience through government subsidies. Perhaps you know someone who would hire you if they could afford to. If there is a program they qualify for with money to pay part of your wages they could hire you! It's a long shot I know. If you are still in school, talk to a counsellor and see if there are any student jobs you might qualify for through a program that the school is running in their business classes or something. If you attend church, talk to your minister. Talk to a trusted adult friend. Put an ad in the paper yourself asking for work! Go, go, go! You can do this! If you can bring yourself to walk into a business and ask to talk to the manager, tell him/her you are looking for work and ask if they have anything available. They can only say no (not kill you), and they might say yes! Keep on going and keep trying until you land something. Good luck to you!

It has always been my experience that people who dont want to pay are not worth working for.Senior citizens that want a challenge can get plenty of those by volunteering for the Red Cross or any one of a thousand charity orgs.That's where you can find most of them right now.

1. Consider yourself blessed. If your bosses would just pick up and close shop the way they did, did you really want to be loyal to a place like that.\n\n2. Call unemployment and file as quickly as possible.\n\n3. Did you have a 401k plan? If so, you may be able to    \n   withdraw against it (There are tax and early withdrawal \n   penalties involved) But if you need the money,   \n   sometimes you do what you gotta do.\n\n4. Call all utilities and get on their budget plan. This \n   will begin to help you formulate a budget if don't  \n   already have one. And you'll know what your basic bills \n   wlll be each month.\n\n5. Write a letter to all your creditors telling them you  \n   will be making lower payment amounts because your income \n   situation has changed.\n\n6. Update your resume.\n\n7. Ask any and everybody, do they know of any place hiring.\n\n8. Surf the net for possible leads.\n\n9. Post your resume to a job search site like Monster dot \n   com.\n\n10.Volunteer somewhere doing something.  Sometimes you can \n   find the answer to your problems by helping someone else \n   with theirs. And who knows this may be where you get  \n   your best leads from. \n\n11.Exercise. If you don't already, start a routine that \n   will help you reduce stress.\n\n12. Finally, is there a dream in your life you haven't \n    reached for? Maybe now is the time to do what you were \n    sent here to do. When you are reaching for something  \n    you have always wanted, you'll encouter stumbling  \n    blocks but you'll never fail. Self employment might be \n    calling your name. You have 30 years of service, you \n    can't tell me you don't have the background to succeed \n    at whatever you want to do.\n\nI wish you Godspeed and the best of luck.
