I'm looking for qualified job listings in my area that meet my
requirements for part-time work. This might not be as easy to answer
as you would expect based on those requirements. But I haven't done a
lot of searching yet.
I've been developing a business for the past couple years. But at
this time it's not bringing in enough cash and I really need some
make-ends-meet kind of work, without ending my ability/time to work on
my business.
*A good answer would be*
-no less that 8 listing in my area that meet my requirements below
-job title and/or description, experience necessary, and compensation
-instuctions on how to apply for the position, e.g. send resume/cover
letter, call, etc.
-if available, a website or little background info on the employer would be good
BACKGROUND INFO
---------------------------------
My education and work experience
---------------------------------
I have a BS degree in journalism, though I haven't really worked
(much) professionally in that field. I also have a master's degree in
library and info services. I have about 3-4 years work experience in
that. I'm open to working out of my profession, although I prefer to
stay close to it because I can likely earn higher wages; but it's not
necessary. *I've attached my resume with personal info removed.*
It goes without saying that I don't want any listings that I don't
have the necessary experience to be hired. Though I am willing to be
trained.
---------------------
Desired type of work
---------------------
flexible. Anything from manual labor to professional work.

Tuesdays/Thursdays from 3-5pm, at least until June 24, 2004.

Compensation

ok because I need dependable money.

Location

I live in Baltimore, Maryland. I have a car but don't want to travel
more than about 20 miles to a work site. My zip code is 21217.
-----------------------------
Desireable BUT not necessary
-----------------------------
library positions
independent work
(legitamate!) work from home a big plus*
any work requiring research
any work requiring organizational skills
any work requiring good writing skills
work requiring business/enterpreneurial skills
thinking work is good, but mindless work is acceptable
---------------
Turn Offs
