I have an associates and a bachelors from Emory University and worked in Law, Medical, Manufacturing and Hospitality Fields.


I really need a job, whatever. If I could make just $500 a week I would be able to survive but i'm loaded down with debt and bills and a kid on the way and right now I can't live off $300 a week. Even $500 a week would be alright...

i'm looking for a full time job and if I could just make as low as $500 a week i'd be straight for right now... below is my resume. I've sent my stuff to temp agencies but nothing yet ,. Anything let me know!! resume below.

I have a big technical and customer service background i've done computer stuff like hardware software maintenance troubleshooting whatever... but mostly in my jobs its been customer service/administrative with also technical stuff

lol.... um... average starting pay for business has gone down but its still around 50k. A friend of mine graduated a year ago fall from UGA business with a bba and picked up a job in February making 49k. Before the downturn most BBA's would come out making 60k, average salary for someone with an MBA is usually 80-100 before bonus.

Apply at Ernst & Young... they have a presence downtown and last I checked they have positions available in Atlanta. You said you have economic background so maybe it'd interest you?
