Place of Employment
I have until the first week of July before i fly to the states.
however in this time period i would like tohave a job of some sort.
now after much phoning around and asking i have been told that 'in that space of time we wont employ you'
even mcdonalds said no.
suggestions?
p.s.
i have some 'big name' references for some projects ive worked on so 'skill' isnt an issue or the references for that matter. i just need a job of some description to 'get'.

Look for temp work, it's the only thing you're likely to get. Ex: Typist, Office Monkey, 'etc'

With only that amount of time I wouldnt even employ you to wash my windows, whether you were 'skillful' or not.
On a brighter note though, I've got a tenner I can lend you.

Simply try every single agency in your area. Most won't want to sign you up for that length of time (lying could work - since there's no way they could know you are leaving in July and you'll have no obligations concerning notice).
Some will have work for you then and there and will be wanting someone to fill the vacancy so they can get their 30 pieces of silver. Try enough and you'll find something although it will be appalling.

1. Are you interested in the money or are you trying to fill your time constructively? I hear charity shops are always looking for help.
2. Temping agency?
3. Those small ads in shops and some newspapers sometimes have small jobs.
4. Get students to pay you to take their exams for them, then run off to America!

I'm not sure anyone but a day-by-day labor agency would hire you.
By day-by-day labor agency, I mean that walk-in place that gives homeless people something to do for a little cash.

You could simply not tell them that you are planning to skip the country then give notice later citing some kind of emergency or some crap.
