2. Try this site: http://pinchurl.com/3qy it can make you good money and it is easy to do. There are no fees and it pays out every Friday. It is one of the few work at home websites that has made me good money consistently. It makes me $1200-$1500 a month. Or try one of these other good work from home websites on this site: http://pinchurl.com/3qz
3. why, as a part time student, are you having so much trouble finding a job? Does something on your resume not reflect well? Do you show that you bounce from job to job? Even if it's some dinky, part time gig, you should have a nice, professional resume put together so that you're a step above everyone else who's applying. Are you showing up for interview dressed well? Are you responding to questions in a well, thought out, professional manner? Do you follow up with "thank you for your time" letters? You gotta do whatever you can to appear one notch better than any other candidate applying.
4. There is no 'one' specific was to do this. Most people will have their own ideas. But here are a few ideas that helped me when I was looking for a job while at college. Volunteer. Do volunteer work. No not 'as the job', I know you want a job for money, but some volunteer work enables you to 'network'. Network is a way of getting to know people who have the means to get you a job, tell you about potential jobs, or know people with the right connections. My friend was made redundant but within 2 weeks got a new job because his friend had a friend who worked at a place that was looking for what my friend could do... So if it is a part time job you need, maybe helping out somewhere will enable you to meet someone who owns a shop for example. Also be persistent. Follow up on job adverts after sending them what they need but be polite. It shows you are keen. Send letters off to everywhere and anywhere you would like to work. Offer character references that you college tutors can provide. All these things show initiative... something employers look for.
5. don't feel bad and don't let your hope and confident down. I'm looking for a full-time job too. In my opinion, you should do some volunteerings until you got a paid job in order to get some working experiences as well as contacts with your future business partners. Btw, what do you want to do? employee? self-employed? meantimes, you can improve the necessary skills in order to get your target dream job. At the same time, use internet for job hunting as well as use recruitment agency if you want to be an employee. Good luck to your job hunting!
