Help me find a job.....please

I have a favor to ask of all my new found friends. I have been out of work since April 2005, unemployment has long since run out and I am surviving (barely) on whatever temp jobs I can find. I am now looking for a second job (nights and weekends). My COBRA premiums are $496.65 a month, that is in addition to my mortage. My savings is now very low, I may have to drop my health insurance soon. I don't want to loose my home, but I may have no choice. I am a Purchasing Agent with a strong background in accounting (A/P, A/R, some payroll, credit and collections). I am also a full charge bookkeeper. I also hold 2 A.S. degrees. It seems no one wants to hire a 45 year old fat guy. Do any of you know of anyone or place that is hiring? I am willing to travel to wherever the job is. I need something full time/permanate with health insurance. Sorry for the long sob story, but things are getting critical and I am desparate. Any help, suggestions, prayers are appreciated! --==Richard==--

Richard, My husband has had the same problem I have found careerbuilder.com a big help! Good luck to you I know it is soooo hard to start over but I know you can do it. Keep the faith. JEN

Richard, I don't know if you have tried this yet, but have you posted on Monster.com? Good luck hon, Your in my prayers! Chrissy

I've got my resume posted on Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com. On sunday between the 2 sites I applied for 8 jobs, no word yet. Its been like that for the last 11 months. I get an interview here and there but no offers. Employers do not want to hire a fat person.

Go on www.ct.gov and scroll to the left, choose "state agencies" and pick Dept of administrative services, "new jobs"...I think I saw some payroll postings,,,,,In any case, they have great insurance for their employees....good luck.... Dorota

Hello, I know from working at Aetna for 9 years before that they are FOREVER hiring temps. You can call 273-0123 and ask for Bunny Webster she is in the Temp office. That is the best way to get in there. You start out as a temp then go to Perm.. I hope this helps.
