With the problem of my working holiday visa.. the time wasted looking for permanent jobs has sucked up far too much time.. and sadly my saving as well... luckily I've managed to sort out some temp work.. from who.. none other than the one recruitment agency that asked me to return and register my info into their database.. Randstad
its not what I'm looking for but.. it's work and also means... I'm finally getting some income flowing back into my savings.. its not a lot but its better than nothing.. its only for a month for now but again its better than nothing.. might save on utilities bill.. being at home 24/7 does mean electricity is being used..
does this however balance out with travel, food and other daily expenses?! dunno.. my girl and i are considering sharing the car as well.. she'll get it Mon, Wed & Fri while i get Tues & Thurs... i think its not a bad idea.. my girl need the car for those days so she can go to the gym after work..
I'm starting tomorrow.. I'm already feeling anxious.. my palm are actually sweating as I'm typing this blog as well.. go figure.. should be too bad.. first day shouldn't be to difficult... they just tell me what I'm suppose to do and just do it.. the question is.. what am i gonna be doing?! I'll find out tomorrow... wish me luck!! i have to wear a shirt and tie as well.. argh...

Argh no bloody wonder!!
so the job hunting still a pain in the arse and here's a very big reason... because i'm here in uk using a working holiday visa.. non of the recruitment firms will look for permenant position for me one year working allowance isn't permenant enough. i told them if they sort me out a permenant job i will apply for a permanat visa than.. i dont want to spend moeny that are tied down to rent and bills for a visa app. but its like they cannot be arsed.. so i totally pissed i've wasted so much time not working and no one really explaining anything to me.
of course that doesn't explain the reason why i'm not able to get temp/contractual positions but atleast i know what i should target..

First few steps to my millions
From my previous post, I've brained stormed a few ways to earn or generate some income.
Those were:
Option 1 - Find a job
Option 2 - Sell stuff
Option 3 - Do something online
Option 4 - Rob a bank
I've decided to research and pursue the first three options. The fourth options was too risky, I dont think I can rob a bank with a folk anyways.
Here's a brief summary to each option and the progress
Option 1 - Find a job
Most ideal way to earn a living, get a job, so what have I done to hit this target?
i.) Searched online recruitment websites
I've appying to loads of jobs since October. Positions that my previous exprience hopefully fit. Project Coordinator, IT Support, & Web Design seem to be the ideal ones.
ii.) Walk in to recruitment agencies and hand in a copy of my CV.
There are about 10-15 offices in town. All else fails or to the next big city (which is Birmingham)
Option 2 - Sell Stuff
What can I sell? do I have anything to sell on ebay? no, most of my stuff like my baseball cards, comic book collection are back in hong kong, hopefully still in good or mint condition.
body parts? nope still need them... my sperm? my girlfriend's eggs? dont need them... yet.. but what is the prices for items like that? must research further.. anything else that can be sold off? not sure at the moment..
Option 3 - Do something online
Online trading
Internet advertising
Affilate programs
further research required
that's all I have managed to figure out so far.. got a bit of a headache just thinking about it all..
