Yes, there are jobs and careers waiting for those who can find and apply for them. How can you help your fellow Village North resident find a job as well? Feel free to let me know of a job opening you have heard or seen.

There are the usual places to look for jobs like:




  • Doors and windows of retail & restaurant businesses







  • Atlanta Journal Constitution Classifieds







  • Craigslist.org (I actually found a part time job through there but please be careful - some are scams)







  • monster.com







  • Dozens of other websites for employment opportunities

    I met a terrific person (Cindi Filer) years ago and she started a business - Innovative Outsourcing based on part time employment for people for two basic reasons:

    (1) employers were looking for workers but not for full time jobs and
    (2) many people were looking to supplement their spouse's income, or just looking for anything they can find to get started.

    Some of these opportunities are accounting related and include a brief time at the employer's office and the possibility of then moving to and working from your home. Check out Innovative-Outsourcing for more details and job postings.

    It also may be time to start a business of your own (be careful to start small and don't get too far into debt) and as Clark Howard said, if you survive in these times, you may survive better when times get better.

    As always has been the case, employment normally means "you have to know someone" to get a job. It normally takes a referral to an employer from someone they know and trust to get you in front of a hiring employer.







  • Is your employer hiring for full or part time work?










  • Do you know of any part time or full time job openings you've seen or heard about?
