How can I make extra money until I can find a full time job?

Question

I have been looking for a job for a while now, but it's hard to find one. I have a bachelor's degree, and everyone tells me I'm "overqualified".

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make a little extra money (or a lot!) at home until I find a full time job? I am not talking about investment opportunities or the like. If I had money to invest, I wouldn't be looking for a way to make money.

Thanks for any ideas on how to make extra money at home until I find a job. My family really needs the money.

I have been looking so long for a real full time job, and not been able to find anything, that my family is suffering from me not having an income. I spend a LOT of time looking for jobs...I am not necessarily giving up to find a "work at home job". I just wanted ideas on how to bring in a little extra money so I contribute to our income. If you answer, please give a real answer instead of criticizing me. I am pulling at straws here on how to make money, since I cannot find a job.

If it will help in an answer, here is my resume:

Answer 1

Hi – I sell on eBay. I profit about $3,500 a month. eBay has been my full time job for 4 years, and I have sold over 12,000 items. You can start by selling things you already have and see if it works for you.

Please email me directly and I can share more information with you.

Answer 2

I am confused - do you want to work at home or find a full time job outside the home?
If your real goal is to work at a job outside the home, spending time looking for work at home jobs will just be a distraction from your real goal
Perhaps your real question is "how do I find a job?"
Well what is your Degree in? What are you willing to do?
How hard are you willing to work? Do you have previous work experience? In a related field?
Are you networking in the field you want to work in?


Additions:
I am sorry I might as come off as critical - I looked at your resume and think it could really be punched up - it is very general and not very focused on specific goals and the exact skills you brought to each employer and the value you provided - for instance what were your responsibilities for each Job (3 or 4 bullet points would really help here - did you supervise people? What did you do that was special? How did the business benefit from you working there - did you help improve the business somehow? Did you help increase revenue / decrease cost? )
Those are the things I would look for - But networking is still your best bet - you have been involved in lots of social activities - do all those folk know you are looking? Have you asked them to see if something might be available where they work? Did you then follow up with them?
These are your keys to finding a job.

Check with your local employment agency. That's what they are there for. They probably have your job waiting for you this very minute.As far as local opportunities, how about yard work/clean up, minor repairs etc. There are lots of elderly folks who need a little something done, and they pay well for it. In fact if you don't over charge, most will add a little something extra and refer you on to someone else. I have that problem now. I'm retired 3 times and in an effort to stay busy, I did a little work for a lady. Now I've got a waiting list of people needing little jobs done. Word of mouth is the best advertising there is.
