So I’ve been unemployed for over a year now considered long term unemployed my severance ran out and my unemployment benefits ran out I’m a bit on a pickle here! So I need to find ways to make money fast and remote as I have a toddler to pick up from school. At this point I’m overwhelmed. I have applied to over 1000 jobs and gone to 20-30 interviews. No success yet I welcome any ideas! If you have any ideas for me I would love to give it a try! Consider this a group project!

Have you tried freelancing? Doesn’t have to be PR, but even skills like copywriting could be leveraged to help turn around funds. I did that a few years back and it wasn’t as hard as people think to get small projects. I used Facebook groups geared at small biz owners / entrepreneurs to find clients and stuck to just copywriting services since I didn’t want to conflict with my day job.
