Anyone know a good remote jobsite? I'm freakin' DESPERATE

I am now stuck at home until I can get the car fixed. Groceries are dwindling... and I got NOTHIN

Indeed and LinkedIN are bullshit. I don't know what to do anymore - I have the skills, just noplace to put them.

I have a BA in Journalism, and 20+ years of wisdom and experience in ALL types of fields...hotel reservations, data entry, customer service etc... supposedly all these remote jobs are out there for the pickin... so why can't I find something?

If anyone has a back-door or a link to something that DOESN'T require some kind of subscription...

This is getting ridiculous

So they should be good.

Site list:
http://www.guru.com
www.freelancers.com
http://www.hea-employment.com
www.http://monster.com
jobsengine.org
careeronestop.org (formerly ACINET)

Indeed
Zip Recruiter

I read awhile back that there were online jobs for ESL tutors. As I remember, they wanted tutors to help students practice conversational English. The sites I read about preferred people with college degrees. Maybe it's worth a look.

I wish you luck.

I haven't been on that site since it went to complete shit a few years ago, but there were a few groups that were focused on side gigs and such. I think one of them was called Beer Money, or something like that. Might be worth checking out to vet out scams and time-wasters.

Good luck!
