How in the world do I get a part time job in toledo OH?
Well I live in Toledo Ohio and apparently even though I have a 4 year degree, graduated with high honors, it doesn't matter. Was school a total waste of money. I am going to end up back at target at this rate. I have my social work degree and lisence and have only had one contract job. I have been searching for months and am considering one of those "financial advisor" or insurance sales positions where I can at least set my own hours but I can't figure out which ones if any are legit. I can't relocate my husband has a pretty good job I just want a decent part time income somone said I need to change my attitued about a job.... maybe there is not enough info here I went to the college for jobs and help with my resume then I went to my boss and a few other people to help me get my resume right. My availabiltiy is seven days a week and the only time I am not available is between 6pm and 10pm. I will work an overnight shift I am not picky I just want those hours with my husband who works third shift. I want a social work job just about any but I am also willing to work somewhere else so long as it is part time and not minium wage

You might have more luck if you were willing to relocate. Even possibly here in Columbus (Ohio). Guessing.

You didn't waste your time and money. It just depends,are you willing to move??? Or does it have to be in Toledo??? I don't know much about Toledo but I know that jobs(in your field) in Phoenix are always looking for people. I am sure that there are other places in the country as well that are looking for people. So it just depends on where you want to be and where you are willing to go to find the career you are looking for...Good Luck

Look for a career resource at your local College, a Career Coach, Career Group, etc. This will keep you going while you look. First and foremost, you need to change your attitude and determine what you really want to do. ... And yes, working at a "job" while you look for your career, is a good thing to do if that's what you need to do. Maria Marsala http://www.ElevatingYourBusiness.com

Well, I've seen plenty jobs in the 'help wanted' section of the Blade. Have you by chance tried careerbuilder.com, monster.com or hotjobs.com? What exactly do you want to do...because I've seen plenty of social work jobs advertised as well. The insurance sales as well as financial advisors positions...you're going to end up having to pay money to make money, and usually it's going to take some time before you start to make money. I went to an interview once with smith barney or citigroup or something...just not my thing. You need to pay for your training, licenses, etc.

Well, I already know that I will get at least one thumbs down with this answer. You were asking about insurance or "financial advisor".Give some serious consideration to Primerica. A representative with them is both, insurance and an advisor. Insurance happens to be a means to an end and so do the other services that we provide consumers. The main goal is a business. The services are great, but if you would like to be able, after ten years, to not have to put anything in to make money each month, then this is it. It is NOT get rich quick. It takes time, but so does any other business. You work for you and not a boss. Think about it, pray about it. We work for the best interests of our clients. At website below, look for the info about women in Primerica.

You don't indicate if you graduated with you BSW in the Toledo area. If so this is where I would start. I would take your field instructor out for lunch and see if s/he has any recommendations, have they heard of any openings, etc. Use your networking skills. Similarly make contact with some of your professors and other students from your class (especially those who left the area but might still have contacts). Secondly you may need to upgrade your degree to an MSW. Probably not what you want to hear, but with so many BSW programs in the midwest (25 just in OH - and if go to the surrounding states you will go well over 100). It may be that toledo is now at a place where they are able to get MSW's for entry level jobs (check this out with your social work dept and the college placement center). Finally - persistence is always necessary in a job market that is very tight - use all your resources (newspapers, online sources - monster, etc, college placement center, family, friends, etc.) Also take your resume to someone who can help evaluate how you are putting yourself out there. If your market is crowded and they are getting 100+ resumes for a position you need to stand out. DA

Trust me the job search is work by itself! My advice to you is to perfect your resume and maybe submit it to a recruiter that will do the job searching for you. They will get you into interviews with big companies that otherwise may not be available on the job boards. The really good opportunities are usually not on monster or yahoo jobs. The other problem you were having about trying to see which jobs are legit is really a hard thing to do. In my opinion if it looks they are advertising to get you to come in for an interview then it is probably bull.
