I’ve hit rock bottom on this. I want a basic ~$20+ per hour job where I answer calls, chats, emails and help people with whatever they need from home. I don’t mind working nights, long hours, overtime, holidays, I have basically nothing to do.

I have experience, I have technical skills, customer support skills, I have led 2 teams, switched to data entry, but the last close to 100 applications have led me nowhere. I imagined it would be easy to get into Amazon support or something like that, but dang, I am not getting anywhere. All I see are bait and switch jobs to sell insurance, or travel agency stuff, or benefits or some sort of MLM.

I got into CloudWorkers with the hopes it is some sort of legit cause I am in deep crap.

I have 2 - 3 weeks where I need to figure this one out, and this in the end of the second month looking for work.

Seriously, why is it this hard?

    Aim for higher paying jobs. That filters lots of crap. Legit jobs will take more thana few weeks to pay you.

    If the timeline is a few weeks, look elsewhere.

    Sorry.

        I don’t know your situation, but some time with a spreadsheet is called for. Figure out how to stretch things.

        Clearly, this drifts from your original question.

          Already done. Can’t stretch any further than I am. But this is what I figure is character development of some sort.
