On the Hunt

Most suggestions you'll get, I sespuct will be along the lines of  DON'T DO IT!   Cash advance lenders   title loans or payday advance   are notorious for extremely high interest rates (like 575% percent   that's five hundred and seventy five, not five-decimal point-seven-five).  They are also notorious for very ugly collection practices, like wage garnishment, etc., and most will require that you sign an agreement that you will not and can not go to court to fight them on it (or anything else)   you have to go to an arbitrator that THEY hire.I don't know the whole story but are you sure your mom won't be willing to wait??  Since you have a job you could make payments to her   this would show her that you are serious, and you could even offer to tack on interest and put the deal in writing.  Please try everything else before you resort to a cash advance.  There are hundreds of them popping up all over, and I'm sure that eventually you will find one without a job time requirement, but they are like drug dealers   they will do anything to get your business but then they will hook you and you could end up a lot worse off.  Weekend job, small payments to mom, borrow from your bank, hell, even a credit card cash advance might be better than a payday advance if you pay it off within a few months.  Please think about it.  Good luck to you.

Great blog, Kerri.  I'd venture to say the majority of people are dissatisfied with their current job ins ome way. A part of that can be chalked up to over-familiarity and can be tolerated.

However, it's time to move on when you dread getting  out of bed and you think Sundays are a harbinger of an awful work week ahead.

Of course  the best time to look for a job is while you are still employed. It is a good idea to keep that resume updated and to check out what's out there on a regular basis.

Losing a job is never fun, but it's always an ideal opportunity to move on to something fresh and new. You can make a contribution to a new set of people (or an entire organization) as you recharge your own batteries.
