Hey, JJCH!

It's still not too late to have some sort of Valentine's Day Special Offer for people. If there's one or two things that you know that you can do well for people and that they always need more than other things, getting them to find you by accident at certain times of the year is something that you might want to try.

Please click here, here, here and here.

The first place that I placed an ad for that was on hoobly.com It appeared first in listings on Google within the hour after placing it. However, they decided to "suspend" it. I guess that they thought that I was spamming. However, my other ads with them remain. A person does need to be careful with the number and type of ads that they place on sites.

Thanks!

JJ, have you considered in the meantime taking unemployment compensation if that is an option? That's what it is there for.

I applied and got accepted. My last employer, when the got the notice, fought and won the appeal so I lost it. :(

I am sorry to hear that, then I would say that for sure between 8 am to 5 pm all your efforts should be in getting resumes' out and perusing each job...

The unemployment office has job listing in their on site computers that are not advertised. Go there, check out all these also.

I've done that too actually, check it every day. Seems like all the cards are stacked against me doesn't it? Gets hard to handle sometimes. Hopefully something will come through, or with clough's help my ads will generate business... I keep my optimism up as much as I can.

Good, glad to hear that JJ, is there really any other choice?

Yes, follow Cloug's advice closely, he is really knowledgeable and he too wants to help where he can.

So, how are things going now, JJCH? It's getting near to springtime and would be a good time to start pumping out some ads for outdoor work.

Please let me know...

Thanks!

Hi, Jason!

I did read your response about your ads on your other thread where we had discussed things about the jobs in PA. If you would like to continue here with how to make improvements to your ads, I will be glad to help you!

Thanks!
