Cast a wider net...

Well this thing is getting closer and closer every day and I seem not to have put as much effort into it as I should have. I do have ads posted on Craigslist for Homebrewing classes and Gardening services:

Homebrewing: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/lss/1003028634.html
Gardening: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/hss/1003021379.html

I’ve also scheduled the necessary training to be an owner/worker at my Co-op. That friend that may need a room to rent has not said anything more to us about it, so I must assume that she’s found something else.
I’m honestly starting to think that I need to see if I can find a temporary job someplace. I know it will likely require me to work more than 16 hours per month, but that may just be what I have to do. I really can’t see any of these little Craigslist ads bringing in any significant income. It’d be nice and maybe in time something will come of it but for here and now I may need to cast my net a bit wider. Here’s what I plan to do:

1) Contact the local restaurants and catering companies and see if they can put me on an “on-call” list. This is so that if somebody calls in sick or they get a big job, they can call me in just for the day. I’ll offer my services as a prep-cook (easier to land than a real chef’s position) as well as a server (hate doing that but it’s work and typically there’s more need for servers than for cooks)

2) Scour the paper and craigslist looking for temp jobs. These will likely be clerical, labor, etc…which I truly despise but again, it’s work and if I can pick up $80 on a Saturday here and there…it’s worth it.

3)Continue with my craigslist ads. It can’t hurt to keep putting myself out there and the more ads for the more services I have…the more likely it is that one of them will get a hit.
For now…anybody reading, please take a look at the ads I’ve already posted and if you or anybody you know is in need of my services, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Also, as a reminder, the fine ads provided on this page by Google might prove interesting to some of you…and likely only take a minute or two of you time…so please feel free to check some of them out!!
Until next time…
