I gotta find something ...! [View all]

Last edited Wed Apr 28, 2021, 11:51 PM - Edit history (1)

I can do most every type of virtual asst, desktop publishing gig. I have years of experience in journalism, webdesign and logo/marketing...

Been out of the loop for a few years - worked in education and ran programs at Boys & girls Club. But the physicality of the jobs were too much and I went on disability in fall 2018...havent really recovered.

I just need to find something online to keep afloat!

I'm 51, and because I dont do code or the serious techy stuff, and I dont have a BA, so qualifying on paper is hard. How do I get gigs?

Im looking at the pinned post of links here in this group. Any other ideas would be great. I gotta turn this around!
