It happened, they let me go today. Started the job May 27th and done August 13th

Hi Pearl Grace, Thanks for the words of encouragement. I prayed to God to let me know if I should work there or not. I sold nothing for 4 days, so they let me go before even my 2 weeks were up, so at least I know. I think Target might be cool. Checked on their website. Lots of environmental initiatives and give back to the community, etc. Will see if they'll take me. August the Third, I need over $500 a month for my mortgage, $277 a month for my car, $65 for my light bill plus repaying a loan, medical bills and day to day living expenses, gas, etc. $2,000 a month. You tell me how to do that with Mylot, Associated Content, etc. and I will be happy to do those things. I need a real job. I appreciate the advice, but there are other things, there has to be, that can help me get that amount of money. Mylot and Associated Content aren't going to get that kind of money for me. See my other discussions, I have lots of ideas, see if any of them might work out or might not be a good idea. Take care and yes, something is better than nothing , but $10 to $100 a month when you need thousands isn't going to make it.

You do what you have to do. If you mylot a lot--and I do mean a lot...just keep persistent at it...along with associatedcontent...it can pay dividends. You just have to keep at it. Anything to keep from going completely broke. While I am looking, I intend to keep working at stuff I already have. That IMO is the only way to make it through these times.

It might be because of the economy a little bit, but mostly they hire 20 new people each week, put them in sales and only keep the top earners. I was doing poorly, prayed for a sign and got it. I sold nothing for 4 days, so they let me go. There has to be something I can do out there. I just have to find it. Thanks, I hope I get another job really soon, too. Thanks for the luck.

Thanks, I know, there are a lot of scams out there. I have to get off the internet now in case someone calls me. Thanks for your well-wishes. I've had almost every job there is in my area, I think I need a new area. Take care

Thank you, I certainly hope so.

You don't live in NY State do you? This state doesn't like to pay unemployment if you're fired or quit. I was fired. They like to only pay for unemployment if you're unemployed due to lack of work. Otherwise you have to fight. I know people who fought it and the back unemployment paid for legal fees. If you refuse work, you loose unemployment. I have never had them help me find work. 99% of the people I know have not found work through them. If you're lucky a Union contacts them because they need new workers, that's about your only shot at it. If you work temp service job for a few hours in a day, babysit, anything, you loose if for that day. If you work a certain number of hours, you loose it for the week. They make it difficult for you to get it. Then when you do, they give you a card that you can't get on your money on. It works at ATM machines that only allow $20 take outs at a time for the lowest amount. So you're stuck with $19 or less on the card until the next time that you can't use. Or you can spend it at Price Chopper who charges a dollar every time you use it there. So if you're on unemployment for 26 weeks, you pay them $26 just so you can use your last $19. They make it really, really hard for you. It may not be charity, but I know people on welfare who go through less. I went on it once, they kept trying to disqualify me. You have to show that you apply to many jobs per week and keep track on paper. Then if they call you in, you have to produce the paper and they call all those people. BIG BROTHER, no thanks. Also if you haven't applied to enough people they can take it away or threaten to take it away. They don't even tell you how many jobs that is, it depends on what your line of work is. On and on with the rules, they send you a multi-page book of rules plus recording sheets that you have to fill out for every single. With threats of if you work and don't report it or blah, blah, blah, you can be fined or inprisoned. They pay 50% of what you had before and act like you're robbing them blind. Employers pay unemployment insurance, but you would never know it, the state acts like you're stealing from them. If it's different in Florida, wonderful, but it rots in NY State.

You are correct, I don't live in NY and therefore have no idea how the state unemployment services work. Here in FL, if you quit your job I think you lose the weeks (or a certain amount of weeks) of compensation. You also have to be actively seeking employment, be able and available for work. They try to place you in a position making the same amount of you last job. You can go there daily and look on their computers (assistance is available for those who are not computer savvy). If you find something of interest, many times you are given a referral to go to the site to complete an application or interview. I hope you find something soon.I am floored that workers in NY have to go through so much to collect what SHOULD e theirs. Being fired or laid off....I'd fight it. Wishing you the best.

Oh, I forgot to comment on the ATM thing. Never heard of such here. Payments can be direct deposit or checks mailed. You can fill out biweekly information to confirm you looked for work online at home. How awful a system they have. If they have it, it was recently implemented.

Hired me and I didn't work out. I was supposed to get people to buy hundreds of dollars worth of stuff over the phone. But they hire 20 new people every few weeks and only keep the top sellers, so I didn't have the numbers monitarity to keep it going. Yes, it is a shame. I'm praying for a sign of what I should do. Different ideas are popping into my head. I'm starting to check them out. I have faith that things will work out. Thanks, I hope things open up for me soon, too.

Those places seldom have work where I live. But I do check the one or two that do survice our area, they mostly have construction and food service. Food service might be OK, but construction isn't. Take care
