    So since next month is November and it is an election I think I will campaign for turker of the month. I just have to get 1999 posts in by tomorrow and then have a slogan like "In mom we trust'. Any advice from past MOTM's?

    Anyone who knows me on this board knows I am too much of a slacker for this. I am 'semi-retired' man! :)

    HONEST TO GOD, the biggest and best tip I can give you is WORK WITH TEMP STAFFING AGENCIES. This is from not only someone who worked in that industry for years, but the job I have now was THROUGH one. It's seriously such a misconception that temp agencies are for temporary, low wage jobs. I used to staff $200k pilots, $80k accountants, etc, all for permanent positions. Companies hire staffing agencies because they don't want to deal with the hiring process and give some of their best jobs to these companies once trust is established. Some of the higher end staffing I did, you couldn't get a job within the company without going through my team or the CEO.

    I work in finance now, but when I was in charge of all of those people I was technically working as an HR manager which was a promotion from a staffing recruiter. I'm pretty hard working and charismatic and I got a couple of temp jobs through an agency and networked my way into an internal position, and then networked with other recruiters from different agencies to get me the hell out because recruiting is absolutely awful work.

    Thank you so much :emoji_kissing_closed_eyes:!! A ton of persistence and hard work, but also mixed in with a good bit of luck. I worked my fair share of minimum wage jobs before I clawed my way up. I still remember being an army wife making $10 hour, driving 3 hours round trip commute while also waking up at 4am to drive to the base because we only had one car. So much struggle to get here so I'm happy I landed somewhere comfortable eventually.

    Make your pamphlets say "vote for NBadger."

    Reverse psychology. Works every time.

    Your campaign only lasted one minute. That's the type of work ethic I could get behind.

    This is my first time really looking at the site's top donations and I'm wondering why Polar Bear got into a bidding war with himself.

    You probably will be in the running because I don't post here as much as I like. I really have the "I want to watch tv and turk" attitude instead of " I want to use 2 computers and post while on turkerthub " so I need to work on that..maybe next week. :)

    HF waged a cold war on my MOTM odds by never wanting to let me export so I focused on writing the most helpful TV reviews instead. :emoji_sweat_smile:

    :liveupdate:

    That was supposed to be edited.
    I am just another donater. I choose to donate in full instead of small amounts every month unlike others. In total, I am like everyone.

    We love here, we donate, we move on.

    I mean I think we're all at that kind of point, being Turkers.
