enCountering Recession

All this talk about the economy is stressing me out and making me think second thoughts about going to New York. This vacation is going to be a major expense and will use up all of my savings. It’s a good thing I have a job but it might be a good idea to scare up another source of income. Living in a small community doesn’t make it easy, but I’m glad the internet offers certain opportunities without having to leave the house. With a full-time job, I can’t afford to take on something that will require me to physically report to another office. I just need something that I can do during my spare time.

I toddled off to TechieCrossing today to look for part-time tech jobs. It’s easy enough to search for job opportunities by state. I bookmarked some openings using the Add to My Hotlist option onsite. I also tried looking for jobs by field using the advanced search function. I was surprised that the drop down search function offered to search for jobs for me in non-tech related fields, such as Law and Blue Collar but apparently, clicking on these options will lead me to other Crossing sites that specialize in that particular field. Very very interesting. And convenient.

I haven’t finished my search yet. The site promises 138,222 openings at the moment, with 18,014 new jobs posted in the past 7 days alone. Wish me luck.
