Current Events > Can't get a job in time, alternate (legal) ways to make scratch?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Left my last job because of the hours and some near-death experiences without another job lined up (bad idea). Over the last month I've been submitting applications and going to interviews, but so far nothing has bit. I got 3 more interviews next week but I don't even have enough money to cover bills and rent by the end of the month. Moving at the end of next month to a different state, and need money to help with that, but it also means I can't really afford something with long training.

While I keep looking for a job to grind, are there any other methods I can generate income short term? I don't own a car so most of the gig economy stuff there doesn't work. Heard about survey and website testing sites but not sure how much they'll pay.

Sell plasma. Grifols or CSL pay decent money.

Apply for emergency housing relief.

Most States offer a one time, single payment on rent.

See if there might be any another assistance you would qualify for as well.

Lucky me there seems to be a CSL up a few blocks from where I live. Signed up on the website and it's hard to believe how much they'll pay lol. Thank you so much, gonna see if I can start donating tomorrow

Maybe this will help if shit goes too bad. Unfortunately I'm not actually on the lease where I live so that might interfere.

I wish you good health with your situation. I had to leave another job since it was making me suicidal and fucking over my sleep schedule. Always look out for you health #1.

I signed up for clickworker and they have some options there, especially on UHRS. Captioning and organizing images, refining search results, etc. . Haven't actually done a job on there yet but it seems slightly more lucrative than doing surveys. Not to mention it can pay me directly. Unfortunately they don't pay out for 39 days after the job is done. For me it works since thats money I can use when I move, but definitely doesn't help short-term.

Thank you, findhelp seems to be good for dealing with some of our bare needs like food at least. I'm hesitant to straight-up ask for handouts since I feel I should do more, but it might help to get our stuff shipped across the country.
