Surveys

Although I still don't have an actual job I feel like filling out surveys is my job.

Especially with the research company pine cone research. Just about once or twice a week I get an email saying they have a new survey for me....there are two kinds.

Type one is just about household questions: my demographics and whatnot, who lives with me. These are mandatory for participation and I don't receive compensation for them. Especially since it only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to fill those out.

Type two are the actual research forums: I get about 1-2 of these a week and then a few days to a week later I get a $3 check. It may not seem like a lot but those can add up.

Since I get about 1-2 a week I'll say i get 6 a month. In that case those 6 checks a month equal $18 in extra income i I didn't have before. That means if I want to go to chic-fil-a and get a chicken sandwich combo I don't have to worry about the effect that that $5.85 will have on my bank account.

And to go even further this $18 a month totals about $216 in extra $$$$$ for the year. I think thats pretty good when you think about it. And some surveys are really awesome in my opinion but I cant talk about that. I like when I get to talk about a product I actually use and like.

I think that this is a good opportunity to make a little bit of extra money because sometimes I like to go out to eat.

***Side Note***
I just recieved another check so I'll be going to the bank either on monday or sometime after thanksgiving.

employment opportunities

So I'm still unemployed at the moment! Technically it has only been less than a month. Since about October 18th.

I've had an epiphany! I like to soend $$$$$! Well that's not the epiphany but its still true! The epiphany is that I've been really lucky in the past of getting the job. Its weird to me to be forceably unemployed for this long!

For instance my first job at dollar general. They didn't call back but I called them one day and I was almost instantly hired to another store in my hometown!

When I worked at resnet! I went over the course of 2 days to get my computer fixed. Then that next week I became an apprentice/intern. Then in august when school started back I was a full fleged employee!

Also I went back to work at that same dollar general! They know and love me and know I'm a good worker so it was no hesitation to hire me back!

Also when I was an RA I did an interview on the first day of classes two days later I was told I have the job and then the rest was history!

Lastly, my stint at bath and body works! I thought I bombed the interview but I got hired!

Lookimg back on my employment I was EXTREMELY lucky and instantly got the job. Now I'm flabberghasted--is that even a word--that I haven't even gotten an interview before getting notified that they are going to hire another candidate!

But that's not the issue here....the issue is that I was on UNCG"s career website for on campus jobs. I am going to apply to be a box office associate and a tutor!

Its something and hopefully either one will hire me.
