This may not help much, but if you lost your job due to a layoff or for any reason other than "for cause," you should contact the Texas Workforce Commission immediately and file a claim so that you can start getting unemployment insurance asap; it may be as much as $300 per week; depends on how much you made and how long you have worked. But they hold checks for 2 weeks so you need to go quickly and get signed up - in fact I think you can do it online, just google Texas Workforce Commission.

I would try going to temp to hire type places. Some examples are Adecco, Kelly temps, there are a lot more, you could probably find more online. I used to be an office supervisor for Adecco and they are always hiring for admin. assistants. A lot of their jobs are temp to hire so if you like it and they like you than it can turn to permanent. Plus a lot of the jobs start right away & pay weekly so you would have $$ a lot faster. Good luck!

The University of Texas at DAllas I know is hiring administrative folks, although Im not sure of the requirements. You can check it out: https://www.utdallasjobs.com/applicants/jsp/shared/frames...

Good luck!

what part of town are you in? not sure I know of anything off hand, but may be able to drudge something up

I would suggest going to a temp agency. If you are in the McKinney area, visit Quality Personnel http://www.qpjobs.com/

hi NT,

Not sure if this will work, but I know of a Chiropractic office that is looking for an assistant.

Here's the information if you're interested. I am in no way affiliated with this office, I am merely trying to help two people out.

Good luck to you.

Chiropractic office in the same location for over 23 years seeks an individual with front and back office experience in a chiropractic office. Prefer someone with chiropractic experience, hard worker, creative and a non-smoker to serve as our full-time Chiropractic Assistant All-Around.
