I have been searching for a job constantly for about 1 year and a couple months and have had no luck what so ever. I started looking right out of H.S. and without experience I am less desirable. But that is beside the point, I was giving a nickle ad to look through for jobs and I am about to resort to stuffing envelopes if it pays the bills, but I went to [This](http://www.chicken2egg2immunity.com) website to look and see what this job was about and it looked like a gimmic. From what I have seen, it is a company selling something called Immune26. Has anyone heard of this product or the company BioChoice. If anyone can give me any Info. I would be greatful, thanks!! ---

I only got through about two minutes of the presentation. This thing screams scam. I am willing to bet that it’s a multi-level marketing scheme. Avoid things like this. Very rarely do people make a decent living off of them. Haj ---

Yea, I figured it wasn’t just me. I looked up the product and I did not find anything to say the product was faulty but nothing of the marketing of it. I was almost employed by VECTOR marketing but they charge you for a starter kit to be part of the “Team.” Do you know of any envelope stuffing jobs that aren’t scams because If there are some that are legit I am looking for extra Income(when I have income) so again input would be appreciated by this young one. ---

The _best_ way I have found to land a job is through networking. Talk to your friends, talk to your relatives, talk to your neighbors, ask them if the company they work for is hiring. Good luck. ---

Yea, I actually found out from my dads old friend(who neither of us has talked to in about a year) that the place he worked for was hiring, It was also the 1st or 2nd day they were. So I applied today. But I don’t have the connections some people I know have, but I never let it get me down, I keep trying ---

What? No McDonalds or Walmart in your area? At least its work and there is no better listing on your resume that you have experience working, maybe except for a degree.
