Answer 1

Ask yourself:

What can I do that people would be willing to pay me $____ to do?

Fill in the blank with a whole number denomination between $1 and $100, and try to think of something that people would actually pay you that dollar value to do.

When you add it up, you will realize that you can make more money per hour as an Entrepreneur, than what you would be paid per hour as an employee working for minimum wage.

The key is to be paid per transaction instead of per hour.

Imagine you found a summer job that paid you $6 an hour. Working 8 hours, your gross income (before taxes) would be only $48 dollars.

Now, asking the question:

What can I do that people would be willing to pay me $20 to do?

You would make $20 in a single transaction for doing something that may take you only 15 minutes. If you have three clients and can service them all in one hour, your gross income would be $60 per hour.

If you had enough clients to fill an 8 hour day (3 clients @ $60 an hour), that would be 24 clients each paying you $20 for a total gross of $480 for an 8 hour day (compared to $48 dollars @ $6 an hour).

That is 10 times the revenue you would make above minimum wage for the same amount of time.

Actually, you would make $480 for 6 hours of labor if you were paid $20 for every 15 minutes.

Answer 2

I am sorry you are going through a tough time at this time. But you know what? No matter how hard it is now, it will pass.
Here are some ideas for you to think about:
1. Just get any job - survival skills
2. Read how to write good resume - must redo your resume
3. Think about your talents - singing? writing? You can turn that for money - there are such things called ghost writters.
4. Challenge a dentist to employ you for a week for free, if he/she likes it, you get the job, if not you just go. This is the best opportunity to show you are worthy to be employed.
5. Seek help from family & close friends to lend yo some money
6. Start an internet business: small capital, can get started right away, working from home and unlimited potential to earn. There are many resources are available for free.

One thing that helped me was to pray...

Hope you have the courage to take just one step in front of you.

Answer 3

Then the question remains as how do you present yourself. You might have the education but if you do not show up at the interview well dressed, speaking proper English instead of street talk, hate to say it but if filled with piercings and tatoos, then you might have a problem. Especially in medical you will be viewed as how you appear, for the comfort of the patients.

Answer 4

I was chronically unemployed for almost two years, it sucks!!! :(

I don't have much time but it can be done- read a book called Sharkproof- it may be at the library.

Answer 5

private practices (who do not pay as much as public ones) will usually hire anyone. Also try hospitals that have dentists.
