One must count one’s blessings, particularly in hard days such as these. I’m living a situation of such horrible financial threat that I haven’t dealt with before as the cash balances are draining away and it’s the nearest to the edge that I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been near before.
Times of unemployment are hardly new, it’s the contractor’s curse, but this time it’s worse because I was relying on someone who has disappointed me very badly and very late. Earlier this year I trained in SEO through a firm named Kalmindon that had been advertising at the Jobcentre. They wanted people to come in and they would supply the clients. I had a couple of interviews and the only issue was that I would have to pay them 3k for the training. Solutions were found and I did the tuition and waited for them to come up with paying clients so I could begin to make my cash back and start a new, well paid career – let’s face it, what could go awry?
Well, quite a bit as it happened. The firm couldn’t come up with a dickie bird, let alone the “…employment guaranteed on completion of training” as assured on the site I originally emailed them on. And as I initially met them in the offices of a couple of Job Centre’s and the advert was originally seen at Jobcentre Plus it all seemed kosher but it turns out that there was no job. It was just a con, Kalmindon just wanted the money for the training, and then a long period of fobbing off started during which time my resources, mostly the money left to me when my nan passed away earlier this year, have shrunk to almost nothing.
So, instead I am doing SEO on my own webpages to try and either get some customers of my own or at least prove to potential employers that I can really do this. So I am attempting to use my company to offer both SEO and IT support in the Black Country. Since my missus is having treatment for breast cancer I have to be able to work from the homestead so as to be able to go to the hospital with her, especially when she gets underway with radiotherapy next month and she will be going every day.
Firms in the Black Country need IT support as much as anyone else and small firms may not have dedicated support to call on. And many will have sites that do not have much of a internet presence as far as being in the search results is concerned and this is a major challenge since if possible customers cannot find their way onto the site through a normal search for things a company does, then the website frankly isn’t worth having.
So, although time is not in abundance and I need to have some type of earning employment as fast as I can, I do reckon that with SEO and IT support I can give valuable services to Black Country firms and help the local economy. And in these hard times, if I can get enough clients that I can look after myself, I can take someone on or who knows SEO, maybe several and try and do something about the unemployment figures at the same time! Worth a try wouldn’t you say?
