In a bind, a dilly of a pickle if you will... (1 Viewer)

Here's my case, the same one I'm sure many of you have heard before.
I live near Dungog, for those of you who don't know the area, it's somewhere between nowhere and a place with not woolies. Anyway, there is very little work/no work here and it takes me 1/2 hour to a place with no positions for a no talent bum like me and an hour+ drive to a place with a bit of work that won't be hard to get to.
I have no work in conclusion, and even if I had work in the 'hours drive' place I would be spending a great deal of it on fuel. So, what should I do?
Are there any places in Maitland that are looking for employees that I have overlooked (websites other than seek and SMH) or at the least any work in Newcastle that I can access an application form from home for? (I have very little money, each drop of fuel counts).

Can anyone suggest some kind of solution to this problem?

Side note: Sorry if this post makes little sense I was distracted half way through writing it.

Firstly look in your community notice boards, local or regional paper, ask around in nearby towns, shops, etc. Move out to live with other relies, etc closer to work if possible.

I'm not sure how many places have this, but I was reading this book with fine prints in it [for Coles], and the company can reimburse you [dont know what %] for fuel if you travel like over 500km in a week to get to and from work I think...

Of course, don't expect it be everywhere.

Cheers and thanks also, CieL.

It was the queerest thing, I got a call at 10am for a job I applied for a month ago and they are giving me fulltime work (atm) monday to friday 9am-4pm. So I hope that keeps up.
Long story short, I have a job now and as long as it doesn't fizzle out(business pretty much died out) like my last cafe job I should be okay.
