Question

Please dont say Micky Ds......

Answer 1

Kids grown up enough, eh? Im just assuming. I work with a gal who was 40something when she first started her first job after kids and marriage.

Try a hiring agency, one with NO FEES. You should not have to pay someone to find you a job, the employers pay those people to find you. They will give you a test, typing, computor, filing situations, etc. They will mostly be able to find you office work, but its a start, and you never know...you may end up in a school or an art gallery!

Dont be discouraged by all the silly answers here...escorting and phone sex should not even cross your mind..unless that's what you are into, but I doubt it.

And you do have experience, not 'job/work' but life experience counts for something. Good luck to you and your job hunt!! I dont have any education but high school and life and Ive got a pretty cool job with benifits. Again, good luck.

Answer 2

You have past experience. Just think what you have been doing over the past 43 years, then that should give you a clue as to what you can do. Maybe playschool assistant, Walmart worker, Waitress, Receptionist, Hotel cleaner, Sales assistant, the list goes on and on. Why not get a free evaluation? Go to your local employment bureau or try a free assessment at the links below.

Know this; you will be able to get a job but you must be persistent. Do not give up and constantly be on the look out for opportunities.

Best wishes.

For $14.50 to become a member with a 120 money back guarantee, this is for people that are serious and who don’t want to be misled as we have tried many things and have found a company that has been around for 21 Years and pays you to advertise for them. My wife and I just started and are doing well. It is not an MLM company and no selling, no deliveries or stocking product. My wife’s aunt has been working with this Company (Melaleuca) for a little over 3 years and home schools 3 kids and makes $9,000 a month. It is a 500 Inc company and the CEO is on the U.S. Chamber of commerce board. I can arrange a web cast with my wife’s aunt for you and you can decide by yourself and WE WILL help you be successful. It is an honest Win Win.
If you want to see a web cast (presentation) from your home let me know and I will arrange it as that truly is the way to see all about Melaleuca. Have you heard of it. We have just gotten started with my wife's aunts help as it is a team effort and it is fun. Just a quick F.Y.I. 8 out of 10 people that see the web cast join the company and 95% of the people that join re-order product each and every month. Let me know when you are ready and we will set up the web cast.

Most cities/town have employment services such as Man Power, Personnel Support, and Work Force to name a few. These places will find you a job that fits your criteria. Though most of the jobs are usually low paying ($6-$10 per hr) and most of the time there are no benefits, if you are a good employee and show genuine interest in the job you are assigned to a lot of the companies will hire you on full time.

I am a printer for one of the largest printing companies in the country. About 60% of our employees start off as temporary help through employment agencies. We train them ourselves. The ones that stay 6 months and show potential, we hire on as full time company employees. In most cases this means about a 50% increase in pay, full medical, dental, and life insurance, 401K, and profit sharing. Their ages range from 18-60 and almost all have very little education and no experience.

Answer 5

Look into getting a job in the post office. The pay and benefits are decent, the job security is above average, and you would be doing a service to America.

Another option would be working for the FAA as an air traffic controller. I read that half the ATC's in America will be eligible to retire within 5 years, so they need to ramp up their hiring. And please don't think 43 is too old for this work. Not all people are well-suited to ATC work, but if you can do it, 43 is not too late to start.

Answer 6

A retirement home. Get your foot in the door by applying to work in the kitchen or housekeeping. After you've been there for a couple of months transfer into the in-house CNA training program. Try the same strategy anywhere that interests you. I'd try to find a place that will reimburse education costs. That way you could go to college while working.

Answer 7

The Assisted Living industry is a fast growing segment of elder care. You need good people who love seniors and are willing to work. Pay can range from 7 to 12 dollars an hour. Once in the business you can get certified in activities, certified nurse aide or get into the business office. Again, just being a good person and reporting to work will move you up in the industry quick.

Answer 8

Anywhere. But if you don't have a resume to sell you, you need to sell yourself. And don't say you don't have any past experience. If you are 43, you have experienced lots of things. Just apply it to whatever job you are looking for. Obviously you can't be a doctor, but lots of places let the degree thing slide if you can really "wow" someone at an interview or initial meeting.

Answer 9

Banks (teller)
Receptionist (offices)
Hospital, Healthcare (various departments)

Real Estate Agent (course costs about $200,
depends on the city where you live, in a good market,
you can make money, no previous experience necessary.

Look, online, or, in the Yellow Pages for Real Estate Schools.

Answer 10

Well, you can always go into retail management. The hours aren't great, but there is often the possibility of advancement even for people without credentials.

Or, you could also go into sales.....insurance and investment sales is a good field to get into (retirement planning). You'd have to study a lot and pass a lot of certifications, but I know some people who make $100,000+ at that, who never went to college.
