New job?

Sell all your possessions on Ebay.
Otherwise, there are lots and lots of jobs out there for temporary Christmas staff from now until end of the sales. Presumably you have some time off from college over Christmas and could work a few 14 hour days at £7 per hour x 4 weeks x 6 days = £2,352 gross which is a good starting point because you then have another month (assuming you are back at college after 4 weeks) in which you can still take an evening job to get up to the £3K. Or do 7 days a week which would get you £2744 gross. Not including any overtime rates or bonuses for working on public holidays.
Might also be fun.

I am looking for someone (actually loads of people) who are bright, motivated and hard working to act as self employed agents. I will supply the training and materials, you will supply me with leads and I will pay you well.
It will mean leaving your computer and getting out in the cold but if you are committed enough you could earn that £3,000.
If interested please PM me.

This certainly sounds a bit dodgy to me, because if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

No, it's a serious opportunity.
If you don't trust me with your credit card information, then just forward your bank account details and sort code to me, along with a copy of your passport or drivers license for security purposes, and I shall furnish you with full details of our "make £3000 from home in two months from your computer" scheme.

right..doyle...what can you actually do? i mean you're at college right..want to start up in business yes??? get on jobseekers allowance and telephone Princes Trust! job seekers is £45 per week minimum and if you're with the prince's trust they cover you and get you signed up to courses in your spare time! you can also ask to put their logo on your bills e.g. 'Princes Trust Member' or something as far as i know (don't quote me) so it works wonders!!!

well part time jobs are zero...i've seen the part time job section in Whitby go from 3 pages to just 6 jobs in the whole area. everyones desperate for work at the moment with christmas coming up.
perhaps you could offer your services to 3 different companies e.g. saturday at one, sunday at another, evening work with another! instead of them employing you for around 4,000 a year or whatever..but you won't get £3,000 in 2 months! not with part time work..unless you're lucky!

So why are you on a business forum? Should you not be on a work/employment forum or site looking for a job?
The fact you want to work from home and are making a half assed effort to get help in the wrong place suggests your a bit lazy. We cannot help you with that.
The fact that you came to the wrong place also suggests that your effectivness working from a computer is pretty poor.
If all you need is £3k in the next 2 months then you can sove the problem tomorrow. Here is your plan:
Remove yourself from the computer and put away the box of kleanex - its just a temptation to go back and do some more 'working from home'
Yellow pages, 'W' for 'Warehousing' Call every single company and ask for a job. one in about 50 will have something open short term and be chuffed you showed the initiative to call them and glad they don't have to offer you anything permanent. Thats the first £2k sorted. And you will build some muscle to boot.
In the afternoon do the same for every local bar etc and get some work a few evenings a week. Not only will you make the other £1k but you will meet new people, show off your new toned warehouse body. possibly even someone 'special'. The changes you could make to your life in one day could be fantastic!
Do all the above and you still won't be working more hours than most of the people you are asking advice from. So if you don't make this sort of effort don't expect any help again!

Sorry but I don't think you are funny.
Do you really think anyone is thick enough to give a person their credit card or bank details. Yeah what is the betting that if someone did do that, that person would walk of with what bit of money they had.
Not only that you would be well away with passport details and driver's licence. In today's climate, you don't trust anyone over the internet, to give those details. You would probably get loans and allsorts from those kind of details.
I am struggling enough to survive as it is without someone coming along and rip me off for what bit of money I do have. It is hard enough to find a decent employer who will give people like me a chance, however I do feel to prey on people or to ridicule them when they are down is very low.
What with all the scams out that promise there is a job at the end of it make the process of finding a job very depressing.
For me coming onto the business forum, is a chance maybe of finding a real employer, who wants someone who is prepared to do a hard days work for them.

Ling - that almost sounds like the words of experience there?
By the way, I find Draugen quite funny. Nothing wrong with answering with contempt when the OP is obviously a waste of space. When you come on here stating you want £3000 in 2 months without having to do any real work you deserve a kicking.

Again that is trading on other people's misery, in my honest opinion, those people who are making money from those kind of websites, who are charging alot of money for escorts to be listed, are no better than pimps. The students don't realise what a dangerous place the sex industry is, and by the time they find out, its too late. Its horrible when you think that these young girls and men are considering such a dangerous way of making money to pay for their education.
They certainy don't realise what the escorts go through to earn their money, yes from the outside they may thing they have it easy having sex for money. In reality, to have to have sex with someone you don't fancy, or they just abuse you in every way, isn't glossy image you imagine they suggest it is. The girls themselves end up turning to drink, drugs, or they end up with having breakdowns because of what they have had to go through. No one cares, that they may of been raped in the course of the work, or beaten up, or robbed, people say hey its occupation hazzard.
Another thing how do you know that the website isn't owned by a pimp or a brothel, who make the girls lives a misery. Why do people always want to make money out of other people's misery is beyond my understanding.

Doyle may I ask what college you go to and am I right in thinking that posting on this forum is a huge joke to students - because you must be joking. HBOS ain't earned £3K this year and the government too is so skint they have had to borrow £60,000,000,000.
Go back home and ask mummy to sell your old toys at boot fare if your really desperate for cash.

Do just don't realise, that not all people are as clever, and they may take the post seriously, and start to investigate that world. Students are very young people, and they can be very impressionable, once they see the adverts from the sex industry, and they see the money, they are going to try and enter that world. Once they enter, they will be at the mercy of people who will just use and abuse them.
Lets put it a different way, would you want a member of your family to come across that post and to start to investigate that industry with the intention of joining it. Once these students enter this world, can't tell their parents, because of the fear that they may not be wanted in the family anymore and that is when they are most vunerable.
Would you want your Wife, Daughter or Son, to go into this industry? I bet your answer is no, so why is it okay to give someone who is young the advise you wouldn't give to your family.
Again, I don't find it funny, people are coming to forum to ask for advise, and to be helped, if they can be. To be ridiculed isn't very fair.

With respect Ray I think you have taken that out of context.

We are talking about a schoolboy here who needs to understand the realities of the world and my comments obviously had a good deal of humour there.

Doyle, I have to say that I really can't understand your logic.
You post asking for 3k in 2 months, to which the only way I can see you attempting to reach that is a 'make money quick scheme', of which Draugen's post I found quite amusing
The most Ironic thing is though, 10 miniutes after asking for 3k in 2 months, you enqure to buy a PS3 from a guy who appears to have already sold this "PS3" an ran off with the money!!!
http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=88273
Priceless!!
Movietub offered the best advice in my opinion. It may be hard graft, but it must be better than browsing the net for 2 months looking for a way that quite simply isn't there

My apologies but I didn't see the humour there I'm afraid. May I suggest subtle use of one of the "Smilies" when you need to put a slant on the thrust of your words as 'text only' replies can be taken in different ways. Clearly, I had taken your meaning in one way only and acted upon that.
