Outsourcing myself
#1
Sorta, but not really. A family friend, hearing how much trouble I've been having in looking for jobs, suggested that in the meantime, I could try doing freelance technical support services and stuff. You know... for money lol.

Good idea? And where is a good place to start for something easy? xP

...I'd like to avoid Craigslist. xD My bad.

Also, I prefer anything that allows me to do services remotely.

Most people, at least here where I live, prefer the tech support guy coming over to one's place.

Yup, that's how my girlfriend does it. She's mostly called over by friends and family, or friends of them. She goes over to their places and either fixes the problem there, if she can, or takes the device back to her house to work on it.

Your family friend is a douchebag or an idiot. OR both.

Haha I apologize. I feel that s/he could have been more helpful in hooking you up with an actual job.

I was going to edit my post with more information but the site bugged out on me. I would suggest submitting an advertisement for spyware/adware removal along with credentials. My friend at work made a couple hundred dollars off of that.

No but seriously. For a family friend, that still sounds incredibly douche. "Oh hey man. You can do like freelance computer stuff you know."

True, considering that she works in IT.

Unfortunately, said IT job is in another country.

Age / Technical Abilities / Resume / Past-work experience would help.
