    laid off means you get unemployment have you looked into that? i work for allied barton security they are always hiring you will have to take a test to become liscened but it is really easy and there is no gaurentee you will get a great paying post but they deffently have work. if you have a good car and will work anytime you can be a rover and work up to 60 hours a week easy. you will also need to pass a drug test. 512-371-7577 is the office number.

  • First of all, take a deep breath! Check into filing what used to be called a Stay of Eviction..basically a delay while you try to sort things out financially. Call your local County Clerk at the courthouse for info. Apply for food stamps or hit the food banks. Hit the employment agencies and state employment offices. Just keep at it and dont give up. Good Luck.

    You should probably also check with your schools administrative offices. They probably have a job placement program for students and they can also point you in the right direction for student aid. Many business offer this type of employment to students.

    If you were laid off you should be eligible for unemployment. You should be able to easily find a job in Austin, go to HEB, etc. They hire you instantly. Are you a felon?

  • wow! u r in some deep "crap" right now.

    well if no one is hiring in your town or counties near you, no waitor, secretary, or anything positions, then the only thing yiu can do is go on the web and either sell some of your stuff or anything like that

    create a profile online at like monster.com or one of those business people for sale type sites.

    whatever you do dont borrow money you cant give back, like with lonesharks banks or friends and family.

    hope it works out

    Donate plasma; deliver pizzas for Dominoes; check with temp agencies, UPS. You may want to suspend your studies for a semester or two until you are financially able to resume them.
