any jobs available off the books?

[faralos]

My SSI got denied so it seems like I have to live on $1005 a month for the rest of my life
impossible!! as my rent alone is 723 car insurance runs another 70 phone is 63 cable is 140
so that leaves absolutely nothing for things like car repairs, electric bill etc...
so it seems like I may be forced to work under the table to make ends meet
as you guys may already know I have ten years exp with pins, video games, jukes, shuffle alleys,
cigarette machines and pool tables when I worked in vending
I'll upload a redone resume later today leaving out my addy, phone and such since it is a public site
any job available in that field I'll jump at BUT I am still partially disabled with a bum left hip
keeping me from lifting or even walking fast so moving them is out but I can fix them still
also I possess an active CDL (class B though meaning straights not trailers)with medcard
so can drive if necessary buses fall into that category too I would just need a <P> endorsement for that
so anyone who can offer any advice please help me as I am stuck in the system now
still  waiting for the court date for any type of settlement
I got injured way back in May of 2010 and am waiting still for any type of money to arise from it
so I still have no income at all
thanks guys,
Sincerely-faralos

I just saw this now, sorry. I can't tell you about under the table, but having just completed my job search, I'll pass along what I've learned.

Start a Linkedin.com profile and "Connect" with as many as you can. At the top of your profile add "Please contact me with opportunities". You'd be amazed at the actual decorum used there that no one will contact you without this. I've gotten more opportunities from Linked in contacts than from sending resumes- hands down.

My profile as an example:
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tim-hoyne/47/389/ba

Careerbuilder.com and Monster: Make your resume public! Recruiters search through these and will contact you. But be prepared for insurance calls.

I only occasionally got a rejection back after filling everyone's recycle bin. Still ok to apply this way, but be prepared for a low response rate.

If you find recruiters message them and send them your history and what you are looking for.

Whenever possible go to the company's website and apply there. They get first preference. Don't apply to UPS at Monster, go to UPS.com.

Find local opportunities and "cold call" them. I had many near misses this way. This puts a face with the name. If you wow them, they'll remember your face vs a phone interview.

For keywording use a standard copy of your resume and modify it as needed. I save these extra versions as Tim's Resume..doc
Notice the 2 dots. Tells me which one it is and it's easily missed that you may have multiple resumes. I'll then start a folder with the copy I used to refer back to if I get a call.

I would not put my address here though, your choice. I would do name, town/state, and email. No phone unless you are giving them your resume. Since you've had email problems before, wouldn't it make sense to start another email, just for jobs? (AndrewGarber@Gmail.com?) Make that new email forward to your others so you don't miss anything. You won't even have to check it because it'll come into your main email. It's what I did.

Oh, you're unlikely to get any offers here from pinball people, but if you write something great you have a place to refer them back to with your info.
