I volunteered with this organization among the other ones, just in my area: http://cflcc.org/volunteer/
No need to be religiously affiliated or anything, actually I worked with many people of so many different backgrounds.
Coolest thing? After a month or two they wanted to hire me! Register for free training and get your badge of "volunteer" (which you can add to your resume right away). Not only you will gain experience, but you will also love what you're doing. You will help a lot, even an hour a week means a lot.
Research who's in your area, including Salvation Army etc. also see if they have job postings. You can also check the website of your municipality. If it's big enough, Library, parks and recs etc. always look for volunteer that then they hire.
Do you have a degree?

Any update after that interview?
[doublepost=1479188276][/doublepost]If you are still searching for a job (technical related )http://www.theexecutivewing.com/job-seekers/search-jobs/ check it, they have a good connection with major leads in Industry. They were our vendors for employee recruitment.
The key is tenacity. Keep at it. Be assertive. Follow up calls help a lot.
I just received a very good offer from s company last week that I've been pestering for 4 months now.
Nice! Yeah, I would make follow up calls however the last two jobs I interviewed with didn't offer me the job, so if things go well with my next interview I definitely will. I send thank you letters, etc to them after my interview though.
I was absolutely shameless on my last interview and subsequent follow up calls. Blatant self adulation. It worked. It's a long commute (60 mins each way) but it's really good money.
The commute is worth it because I've been traveling non stop with my current company. 7 months out of the last year have been on the road. It's ridiculous.

1) Don't expect any kind of respect from those to whom you apply...2)If you are over 50....you are in big trouble...you can blame Obama but age discrimination is prolific......the EEOC is swamped with claims and it can take 3 years to get to your case.
Nope, not over 50. I have had only one response back and even though I didn't get it, I have respect for them because they took the time to get back to me.
Does anyone here have experience with 1099, self employed positions? I like the concept of it, and it's nice temporary work until I find a permanent one, but that taxes part sounds confusing and I don't know if it's worth it.
Not sure how it works in your country, but when I was self employed I used to have an accountant do my tax returns.
Cheaper than a fine.
Sorry to hear your still looking. Keep at it though. Eventually it will pay off.
Yikes, that sounds scary. And thanks.. I am still looking and applying, hoping something comes along sooner than later.
I am sorry to hear that, check that site, hope you can find one.Yeah, I didn't get the job
You asked roughly the same question back in October and I replied, I'll reply again - it's not a big deal, if the company is your employer you'll get a W2, if they're a payer to you where you provide contractual services, you'll get a 1099 - either has to be filed, taxes accounted for, etc. I actually do both all the time (employee and contractor), you get the docs, plug them into a tax app, or hand them over to an accountant, done.
Well guys.. got some pretty good news!!
Had an interview yesterday and they ended up giving me a background check form to fill out and all of the materials to get drug tested - went and did that today. He told me once the results come back clean on his end, he's looking forward to starting the week of the 5th - which is next week!! I was not expecting that at all but I'm ecstatic.

Well, now I bet you regret doing all that coke last weekend ...
Hahaha!!! I'd be shaking in my boots if I were to.

Thanks guys!! Was an amazing feeling when he said he'll tell me what the next steps were and asked me to submit my info for a background check/drug test.
