Jobs in Jamaica

It can be really hard to find a job in Jamaica.
Just think of it millions of people, not much jobs being created and tons of people fighting for a spot even if they are qualified, it is also hard for us teens also who just finished high school/college with little or no experience and can't get the job we worked hard for.
We go to school to get a job.
We get a job to pay for school..then we pay bill for the rest of our lives and then just die like that..No we were't born to live like this. pssshhhhh that nonsense!

However if you see your self good at something and desire to get into the working world here are some website that can help you.


Check out Freelancing

1) I would recommend you to become a freelancer during the time you are home and sent out your resumes and is currently waiting for a call for that BIG interview or to even get the go ahead to come to work tomorrow.

A freelancer is someone who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. What you would do is to work online at your own time and pace (mean while you are waiting on a call from an employer). It is free and sign up is just a simple 1 ..2 steps. 
One of the websites that I have used before is Odesk. (Links will be provided below)


 What basically happens is you select the fields that you are qualified in or something you are good at for example  typing/proof reading/photoshop/web designing or even programming anything! You can even do simply tasks like enter data into a spreadsheet and get paid for it. You don't need any qualifications to do this you can even watch youtube tutorials how to do this and enhance your skills to make your self more marketable and earn more money. Thousands of jobs are posted on this site every day. Literally!After you apply for one of the job and if you meet the criteria.The employers will message you or sometimes they give you the work at the same time. Usually they will put you through an interview and question you or tell you what is required. And if you did well You would be employed and they will state what to do and the duration and how much you will be payed. The would sign an agreement with you so it is a must that you will be paid when the job is complete.When the work is finish the money will be transferred to your payoneer mastercard (I will send you a link below).. Then you go to the ATM  and withdraw funds.


Links:
You can also sign up for a job providing agency in your location. Where you pay them a small sum of fee and they type your resume for you send it to employers who are likely to hire you and just like that you have a job.
These  are some other websites in which you can find job:


To get paid more money I suggest you do tasks that are not simple like data entry. So you should watch more youtube videos, do additional research or say you are already experienced go ahead and do it. Its better to be making money at home than to be doing nothing..at all.
PS.Don't do work that allows you to type in password codes to a site and it offers $700  us to pay you its a scam  if any one pulls that on you report them.

Payoneer Link( when you open an account using this link you get $25,
