Escorts Wanted!


We like to be topical in our search for jobs for you, so with all the talk about escorts in the news, we thought that this was a job that provided a service for those in need, and it seems like such a great service!

Escorts work with those who can't get it anywhere else. They become close to their clients, so close that clients might even give them small gifts. Many escorts can be asked to travel and you may be asked to work on call or late at night, and we feel it's a terrific and rewarding career.

What? Wait! No, not that type of escort. (Not that we judge!) We're anti- career experts, not pimps!

In case you didn't know about the other kind of escort here's the 411: There is a need for caring individuals to escort people to and from hospitals, nursing homes and even fancy universities and we've found some, er, positions open. Some hot jobs. Employment where you can really get up close and personal with your clients....

Okay, we'll stop. Good luck with the Escort job, although you might want to call it something else when you tell your parents you're finally employed. (If Tiger calls you hang up on him- he's married!)

Funny Jobs 4 You!


We were going to go all, " White Collar" on you and advertise a bunch of Wall St jobs, but upon hearing that those money guys might just get ANOTHER bonus (FYI: people who have not received Christmas bonuses- The President, Kermit the Frog, Yours Truly.) we thought twice.

So, we thought that because they were getting said bonuses, it was almost funny. Or sad. OK Funny/Sad- which reminded us that comedians need jobs too.

We all need funny people and they need jobs! Unemployment is so, NOT funny!

We need humor and not everyone has the talent to make us laugh. And laughing, especially in these times, is important. Because really, when was the last time you walked out of movie because it was too damn funny?

Comedy needs to be take much more seriously. It has been reported that laughing may actually cure serious illnesses so these people, in our opinion, by all rights, should be paid as much as doctors! Are we right here?

So here's a joke and then we have jobs for the funny people. People who don't laugh at those who slip and fall, a pie in the face or former politicians who write books, need not apply. Those people should go back to working on Wall St-enjoy your bonus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. Three years later, there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says "What the hell was that all about?"

Dude- Where's My Green Job?


We've just about had enough of this discussion about whether global warming is real or not!

Seriously, it doesn't matter to us if you believe the polar bears are just sissies for whining about their melting ice caps or you believe those guys that are yelling that the earth is naturally heating up because God wants us all to wear Bermuda shorts in winter- we don't care! Bottom line; you want a job or NOT? Okay then, let's move forward and keep an open mind!

As we wrote in our book (Thank You for Firing Me!) Green Jobs are not imaginary or impossible to find. There’s a great website with a directory of more than 3,000 green companies and hundreds of case studies on emerging green technology products and solutions: So step one: turn off the teevee and start reading about this stuff and stop listening to the mean people! http://www.greencollareconomy.com/


One of our personal Green Heroes is Van Jones- yeah, yeah, one of the ex- czars- get over it. Jones recently said to the Washington Post that it isn't easy to convince an "unemployed construction worker that it's time to start thinking about installing solar panels instead of aluminum siding"

Maybe if you offer the construction worker a six-pack of beer to go green he might have more of an incentive?

So here's the deal. The Feds have put in place a number of provisions and laws to create opportunity but people need to be educated about the fact that there are jobs out there. That won’t happen overnight, but we're doing our part.

This green movement only makes sense if the talent to fill the jobs is right here in this country, and there’s a real need for skilled craftsmen and workers in the green collar arena.

So get over your aversion to the color of green because hello! It's also the color of money!!!
Just because we love you we thought we would get you going with a couple of green jobs and websites to help you get back to work and make your Fox News- watching- friends green with envy!

Jobs for Tiger and You


Sometimes when you love your job and it defines your life things can go terribly wrong. Take Tiger Woods- well we've never taken him, but apparently many others have.

The guy is the best golfer in the world, which is his job, but he can be a bit testy and full of himself. (one of us has interviewed him- trust us, he's not Mr. Warmth to the press.) Seriously, we don't know if we would even invite him to the annual holiday office party.

Over the course of his career his co-workers have probably become a little tired of him winning all the trophies, big paydays and bonuses and getting all the attention--- and golf groupies--- and we doubt that they're crying into their beers over the 'allegations' of his 'alleged' 73 mistresses and his wife's claim that he was a tad tipsy and on sleeping pills when he drove into the tree. Really, when you are the top-dog at your company people are usually after your ass and would love to take you down a peg. We've been there, trust us.

So anyway, we were thinking that Tiger might be a little worried about his image- and his paycheck. The world's greatest golfer makes his Cadillac payments from big companies-about 90% of the millions Woods earns are for endorsements - not for his golfing. His goody-golf shoes image as a married family man has been all but demolished by reports that he cavorted with women other than his wife. (Office romances- not a good idea if you want to keep your job.)

Tiger is holding onto his big bucks backers - at least for now- but we would like to reach out to him- and you. Here are some possible job opportunities for anyone who enjoys spending the day on the course can apply for if any of you lose your big paycheck. So get off the tee an apply NOW!

Fore! (or seven or ten...we've lost count!)

Size Matters!


Of course we''re talking jobs here, so get your mind out of the gutter.

Until recently, both of us lived in large cities, but a few months ago, one of us moved to a small town--- for a job! And we LOVE IT!

When we started looking to move away from the hustle and bustle, smog, crime and fast-food, we realized that there was employment outside of LA/NYC/LV and all the other big towns that we don't know the abbreviations for.

Beside jobs in nursing, newspapers, tourism and banking, you could possibly work from home and hell, you could always start growing stuff. (We don't want to know.)
If Eva and Eddie could move to Hooterville, you can too!

next time you're waiting for a bus or riding the subway or worse, stuck on the I5 for your 15-mile, 3 hour commute, think about riding your bike to work and getting home five minutes after quitting time . Cocktail hour will start on time for once!

So start perusing the Internet for gigs, buy our book AND a book about living in small rural towns (we don't condone moving to scary, back-water Deliverance-type towns) and start packing!


"Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside."

Seniors: Can You Count? How does 1,000,000 Jobs Sound?


Can you still walk or is your Rascal Scooter street-worthy? Well if it is and the Social Security checks don't cover food after you hit the bingo parlor, then here's a great job for you!

The government is looking for millions of folks to pound (or roll) the pavement, knock on doors and count the populace as a CENSUS TAKER!

It's not too early to fill out your application as a 2010 U.S. Census worker. The good news is you won't slip on the ice and break a hip because most jobs won't begin until the spring.


There are five type of census jobs -- census takers, crew leaders, crew leader assistants, recruiting assistants, and census clerks. Most jobs will last several weeks. Applicants generally need to have a valid driver's license and, where public transportation is not available, use their own vehicles (mileage expenses will be paid). For census takers -- the largest category of jobs offered -- evening and weekend work is standard in order to find people at home.

You need to apply for a job through the census office closest to where you live. You can call (866) 861-2010 and, if you enter your ZIP code when prompted, your call will be routed to the nearest office. Or, you can obtain all the materials online. There is an interactive map with office locations. Pay ranges from $10 to $25 an hour and is keyed to wages in local markets. Once you've located the local office, call and schedule an appointment to apply for a position and take a 28-question employment test.

So if you're still with us and haven't wandered off to take a nap, check out the on-line application and earn some pocket money. http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/pdf/BC-170D_fillable.pdf

The job is temporary but the hours might be long, so don't forget the Depends!

Don't Bogart that Textbook....


In our book, Thank You for Firing Me!* we stress that in this economy, going back to school isn't just for kids.

Turn your skills into something useful. Example: you are an out-of-work electrician-hello! Go back to school and turn that energy clean and green. Solar classes can be found at your local community college or online at places such as: http://www.solarclassesonline.com/

There are so many ways you can tweak your skills and bring them into the 21st Century, but our favorite has to be Weed University.

That's right, now that medicinal marijuana is legal in 13 states, there is a need for caring individuals to own, operate and work in pot pharmacies. In fact, one of our children finally found a job that was perfect for her: she works the front desk at a cannabis collective called Spectrum of Kindness. ( http://legalmarijuanadispensary.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=121:north-san-diego-cannabis-clubs&id=2470:spectrum-of-kindness-cooperative&Itemid=118)

"Mom, it's such a great job and the people are so nice," she told us. She works long hours but she loves her job and calls herself "the weed fairy."

And she's not the only person out there collecting a paycheck from an agropharmacologist. (look it up.)

People of all ages- especially in Michigan, a state hit so hard by the recession-are looking to cash in on this job that helps people in pain. Heck, you're practically a saint if you dispense pot!

That fancy-pants newspaper, the New York Times recently published a front page article on Med Grow Cannabis College ( http://www.medgrowmi.com) proving that it's not just for breakfast anymore.

Nope people of all ages- including those in their 40's and 50's are looking to open their own legal pot biz and the cool Prez pretty much has given his blessing and told the feds to back off.

So, if you have a good business sense, a green thumb and can keep your hands off the product, then this is the job for you! Grab your back-to-school clothes, your text books and a roach clip and head back to school.

As the immortal Frank Sinatra once sang, "Doobie, doobie, doo!"
