How to look for a new better JOb while still working( cause need the money)?

Question

I've never had to switch jobs before. Usually i've finished assingments given to me by Temp agencies and then look for a new job. So when i finish a temporary job, i've had all the time and free time to look for a new job full time.

But this time it's different, i have student loans, car to pay, rent to pay and i have to make payments every month. If i quit my current job , then i'll have no money and i'll be in trouble.

My current job was advertised as a Scanning project assignment and we don't even do any scanning, it's mostly removing sttaples and preparing documents and listen to this.... CLEAN a dirty disgusting house: dust, vacuum , etc which is stupid cause i didn't sign up for that but whatever... i've stayed here cause if i didn't i woulnt have had any money. I've stayed in this job for 1 year and 1/2 believe it or not.

I believe i have skills to do something else. i mean i know i do. I dont use any of my skills and creativity in the current job so i really need to change jobs.

How can i do it. The only thing that pops into my mind is looking online and sending resumes by email. That way i won't need to take days off work and the money keeps coming.

Any tips?

Oh brother Sally T.  If we knew we could make $2,000 a week with a online job, don't you think we would ALL BE DOING IT??  Poor people wouldn't be poor anymore and we would all be rich!  Never heard of someone making $104,000 a year doing work online. Please!

God, I hate when people answer with "make money online, I do!"

Your approach to finding a new job is right on.  Go to careerbuilder.com and monster.com.  You can upload your resume and cover letter and apply online that way.  I'm doing it and it's quick and easy.

I recommend using on line job search engines such as Career Builder and Hot Jobs.  You may also want to look on Craig's list.  The best way to look for a job while you are still employed is on line.  Give your resume a close look and determine if it is ready to go out via e-mail and Career Builder uploads.  

They say it is easier to find a job when you have a job because you are out there in the workforce, but it sounds like you are a bit Isolated.
