I have applied at places for employment and daycare, not a single person has called me back!! I called them but only recieved the answer ” We are full, or have nothing for work” (which is not true because I simply answered to the ads they put out, not to long before i dropped off reumes!!! Please send me a list of legitimate online jobs where I can actually make an honest income!!! I look forward to hearing from you.
