A friend of mine scored some part time work just by sending out a massie email to her address book saying she'll do ANYTHING. Well, within reason, of course. A friend of her mother's needed some office help which got her through a rough patch. I'm sure you're doing everything you can, and if you haven't tried this, it certainly can't hurt.

I think you need to call the credit card companies, first of all, and tell them that they can call and send all the notices they want, you can't get blood from a stone. A lot of people are in a rough spot right now and they might be willing to work with you.

I know you've heard it before, but you just have to keep working at it. The wheel never stops spinning and right now you're down, but it'll turn around. Look around the house to maybe see what you can sell. It's never fun to gut our lives, but sometimes we just have to. It's not your fault the economy sucks. Try tweaking your resume, writing outlandish cover letters, sending things in wearing a clown suit, Just keep trying different things until something makes an impression. Eventually things will work out. Good luck!

Sorry to be pessimistic. But whatever country you are in, you are just one of millions with exactly the same problem caused by the world depression created by greedy and incompetent bankers. The G20 meeting did try to get worldwide action going to get growth back into nations' economies but so far that does not seem to be working. I know it must be soul destroying but all you can do is just keep on trying and sooner or later you may be lucky and get another job.

1. Where is the boy's father? (child support?)
2. Why did you take out credit cards?
3. Can you move in with your parents?
4. Can you borrow money to move to a place that has more jobs? (I did this when I was 26)
5. Can you move in with a friend? Or a friend rents a room from you?
6. Can you marry a rich guy? (lol)

I'm sorry you're going through this though.

Keep looking for a job, don't give up and stay positive. And take any job that you can find, don't be picky. I find it hard to believe that you can't find some job, working at a motel, pumping gas, anything. If you haven't contacted your creditors and talked to them you should right away. Usually places will work with you in some way if you are honest and upfront and show that you are trying. Don't hide your head in the sand and ignore them that will only make it worse.

go to a temp service or day labor. Plus whatever your doing in interviews change it up. just stay focused. Also, if your attending school, sometimes the college has jobs available and students get first pick. Look into it.

I understand your feelings, and believe me I was like you, and also did know what to do!, It is all in your mind...the first steps are difficult but crucial.

First you need to start making easy money - fast and as soon as you get stability in your economics you can think in a long term strategy...

Let's start from the beginning,

The question has come into everyone's mind at one point or another."How do I make money fast?" Luckily for everyone who has ever had that question come to mind there is an answer! There are several ways to make money quickly online, now we will venture through the online category.

3 websites to make money online.

1. Associated Content.
2. Cash Crate.
3. Forum booster.

Let's begin with associated content. Associated content should be the number one stop for those people who frequently ask themselves, how I could make money fast. Associated Content requires you to write content, which in other words for those who aren't familiar with the online language, content means articles.

Associated Content requires that you write articles for them, they will pay you anywhere from $3 to $40 for your content.

Most of the time however the bids that they place on your content are for much less than $10. However, this is still a great way to make money online if you can type several articles per day. You may be surprised to see how easy it has become to earn a part time income through writing for Associated Content.

The next site that we will talk about is Cash Crate. Cash Crate is a site that pays you to take surveys. They may pay anywhere from a dollar to possibly a hundred dollars, just for you to take a survey.

Doesn't sound too bad now does it? The reason they pay you to complete surveys is that companies are willing to shell out loads of cash for in-depth information from their consumers to find out exactly what they word on the street is about their product or services.

They even have a daily survey on the homepage that is guaranteed to make you some extra income; the guaranteed survey on the homepage pays $0.80. It may not seem like much but do the math, over a 30 day time period. That is almost $30 extra dollars just for taking surveys.

Are you still asking yourself that question, how do I make money fast? Well if writing tons of articles and taking surveys doesn't really sound like your cup of tea, there is always the alternative of Forum Booster.

Forum Booster is a website that pays you $0.10 for each post you make on a forum. This is great for those of us that would be searching and posting on forums either way, why not gets paid for it? If you can post sixty posts in 1 hour, you can make $6, which is not that bad for earning money online.

It may not be minimum wage, but you have the advantage of being in the comfort of your own home. You can be in your pajamas sipping coffee while working on posting on these forums. Each post should be a minimum of 12 words, which is not difficult to do at all.

Overall there are tons of ways to make money quickly online but these are just the tried and true and the best of the best.

There must be a reason you are not getting hired. What are you wearing to your interviews? Are you going clean shaven and/or looking proper?
As far as your credit cards - try to consolidate them. It will save you in interest charges and can lower your monthly payments to something you can afford. Depending on how much you owe - filing for bankruptcy is not entirely the worst thing in the world. It will clear you of everything you owe. I have a friend that filed and she now owns a house and a brand new car. She filed 5 years ago. She says it was the best thing she could have done at the time. If times are getting really bad, go apply for welfare. The amount they an give you can help a lot and feed your child. Good luck and dont stop looking for a job. Sometimes it is better to go to the places you already applied to. They will see that you are eager to work.
...............................................................................
Try to be optimistic, you are not alone in this situation. You didn't say anything about your living situation so I assume you are living with someone. First, call your car and credit card companies and tell them you lost your job and that you are looking. The last thing they want you to do is to not pay them. They may be able to work out a better payment plan to help you out. Even if all you can send on your credit cards is $10 a month, its better than nothing.

Second, keep looking for a job. Call a job placement agency, look at the jobs postings at your school and unemployement office and search online and in your local paper. You can have a yard sell and try to sell things you don't use or try to start your own business. All you need to do to start is place an add in the paper or print up some business cards. Since it is summer, many parents will need a baby sitter for their children. Offer to baby sit a few kids for the summer. Since you will be home, you don't have to pay for day care for your son, which will elimate that bill. The lady who watches my daughter charges $25 a day (which is cheap compared to regular day cares) $25 a day for 5 kids= $125 daily or $625 a week! If you are willing to work nights and weekends, you could make more money than that. You can make some money over the summer and it is cash paid under the table. You don't have to report it to the IRS or to the unemployement office (although, technically you are suppose to but they can't trace it.) You can also walk dogs, or pet sit if you don't mind animals. If you have transportation, you can offer to run errands for people like picking up dry cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. You can drive elderly people to the store or doctors appointments. Good luck.

Edit: Thanks for the additional details. If you are married, then I don't see why your husband can't help you out. I understand that you keep your finances separate but he shouldn't let you ruin your credit and stress about you share of the bills.

I can tell you from my experience me being my own boss for over 7 years now has been the most wonderful and enjoyable time of my families life and the income is endless. This company has alot of potential for you and all you have to do is be willing for change .if you would like to know more and willing to let me show you how you can too work from home I would be glad to share with you. and see if this would be good fit for you and your son.
