What to do for money in the meantime while looking for a job?
I am a recent college graduate and I have not been able to secure a job yet. I plan on attending dental school next fall so I am submitting my AADSAS this year. I am unemployed and have applied to at least 3 or 4 jobs a day for the past 15 days. I was curious if there was anything I could do while I wait to hear back from a company to make some money? #college #medicine #finance #job-search #tech

Hi Alec,
Summer naturally supplies several opportunities due to the demands of this time of year. Back in the day, I worked as a pool boy, landscaper, and helped out at a restaurant during the high season (summer). Another popular profession would be to work for uber. I've heard several success stories from folks working there. Craigslist and classified ads in your local paper often post positions needed around your area. Good luck.

i would talk to a dentist and see if you could work in the office and get a fill for it.

All these answers are great, particularly working in dental offices (nice pun, btw) and approaching friends and relatives.
Another idea is to work with temp agencies. The work isn't glamorous but it brings in some needed cash.
Invest you money in stock exchanges or in some pvt business

I agree with Jeremy's comments. You could focus on dental offices to see if they are in need of summer assistance whether it is as a receptionist or other support staff. In addition, many businesses look for summer support to offset staffing needs while permanent employees are on vacation. After graduation, I worked for a major bank as a floating teller. it was steady work and i would spend two weeks in a branch supplementing staff before moving on to next location.

Networking is the best way to get a job. Approach family and friends, with a great resume and ask them to present it to potential employers with their advocacy. Also ask if they will meet with you for 30 minutes to do a mock interview or review your resume. During the time ask a lot of great questions and their advice to get a job. People are a lot more apt to help find you a position in a face to face situation. Not as desirable, but post on your neighborhoods Facebook sells page that you are seeking a position, your experience and if anyone has a recommendation. Good luck! It only take one.
