My suggestion is to get out there and sell yourself. Since, you have a baby on the way it is going to make things a little more challenging. But, you can do it.
Dress nicely, speak clearly and start talking. Talk to everyone you meet let them now that you need a job and that you are dependable and hard working. Talk to the women in line behind you and see if she needs a sitter or house help.
Hang a flyer at the local library or laundry mat as a nanny or tutor. Try your local school, they are usually looking for cafeteria help, the job works well around a new family. Also, try local daycares.
With a baby on the way that is an area you will need in the near future and most offer a discount to an employee plus you will be around your baby. The best thing to do is to put yourself out there ... opportunities don't just come you have to look for them. Good luck.
I don't know what kind of work you're looking for, but since you are going to have a baby, you may want to look into this because you work from home. This is none of those weird work at home jobs, just look at my profile and you can see how much I have made, what jobs I have done, and even read the rating and feedback I was given on each job from those who hired me. There is a wide range of work available and you can choose assignments that either pay by the hour or pay a certain pre-determined amount per job.
I myself always do the flat rate per job, because keeping track of hours and all that is just too much of a pain for me. If you decide to apply, here is the link to do so and they will know that I referred you: odesk.com/referrals/track/ginageez Here is the link to my work profile where you can see all the work I have done with them and how much I was paid and so forth: odesk.com/users/Medical-and-Legal-Transc... Hope this helps you! Good Luck :o).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
