Job news

And if there is more than 1 page you flip through them. Well, this mornings job section was (ONE) Page. the hand on the left page had 1/2 page of jobs then the rest of that section was for classifieds and pets. Meaning the left page had about 1/4 page of maybe 15 to 20 jobs and most were get rich scheme's jobs! In good times there was always 5 to 6 pages and sometimes more and the first 3 to 4 pages were good jobs. Sad, Sad! But Obama is going to give money to construction workers and at least put them back to work but NO plan to grow the economy! At least he never says anything about a plan of creations. But he says again and again and again " I will not rest until every American who wants a job, has a job". Then I thought he was smart but beginning to wonder, when his speeches about jobs this week, he said " I am going to concentrate on jobs". Hello! Didn't he say that in 2008, 2009, 2010 and now 2011??? Hello, Mr. President where are you? Or better yet where have you been!!! Lost in space! He says also in his speeches about we need American jobs where things are made in this country wow! Selfserving as usual but he does nothing absolutely about it! I wonder how smart we're going to be in 2012??? All of his speeches he thinks impresses, they do! HIM!

oDesk.com
Scriptlance.com
Guru.com
Elance.com
RentACoder.com


These sites require you to place bids on work. It is a great concept! However, it pisses me off that they also cater to international workers. Come on give me a break! Even if you are a desperate American and bid $6.00 an hour for a freelance job, there will be people in other countries who will bid $2.00 an hour for the same job. I called out a person who promotes these sites because I feel there should be ones that cater to USA WORKERS ONLY. So tired of hearing how we have to help everyone else. This is another form of outsourcing! This person replied to me that he believes in helping everyone through promoting these sites. While I respect his bleeding heart approach, I don't agree. He said if I had a beef with outsourcing, I should take it up with my congressman. Just needed to vent. Having one of those days!

Elance and such are a SCAM now and it's because of the crap you mentioned. Great in THEORY but a failure in application (for US submission). I tried it for awhile but GOT no results. I felt I could get away with half the pay to get work but the 3rd world dung holes like cockroaches have made slave wage bidding here too a nightmare.

no way could I professionally work for $4 an hour to do PROFESSIONAL work and llive. Sad part is lots of work I did bid was HERE in the US but they went with OUTSOURCING for peanuts.
