The PuppeTree is looking for a puppeteer or intern with telemarketing
skills, please email me off line: vtpuppet-AT-gmail.com 

I believe the best day jobs are with small companies were the boss knows
your talents and your goals as an artist. Small antique stores and dealers
love the talents of puppeteers and you get to use their wood shops and tools
and expertise. Look for small businesses because you are a small business,
it's a win win situations.

A large box store is not interested in artist so stay away from them. 

A one person shop will give you two days of work so they can take a break.
Antique dealers need to fix things all the time and need a second pair of
hands or someone to mind the store while they go an auction. Auction houses
hire scribes and schlepers!

Delivery companies are sometimes run by an onsite boss and puppeteers would
be very high functioning to them! If you must wait tables, do so in a small
business not a chain.

By the way, there's a huge need for people to look in on elderly people
living at home. I have 3 ladies who work for my 90 year old parents but my
father would love a man to visit and help him garden or just talk to him.

If you can sew, can you take in tailoring or do hems for a dry cleaner? Did
you know there are people who can't even sew a button? Put up some posters
or put cheap ads in those want ad papers.  Walk dogs, offer homework help,
house sit, or house cleaning (pays $30 an hour in the Dartmouth College
area) or use your computer skills and offer your services to list on eBay.

Again, one on one is best for artist instead of Big Corporations. 
And a word of warning, unemployment will increase after the holidays because
the box stores (even little stores) lay off after the Christmas rush.
January is not a good time to job hunt even in a good year.

Be creative! And that's my two cents...Ann Legunn -AT- the PuppeTree Inc.
