TV interview on allowances

I was on ABC’s “The View From the Bay” on Friday, July 16, in San Francisco, and had a fun time talking about a story I did the previous day for WalletPop about how to introduce children to an allowance. The TV interview is also on WalletPop.

It was a lot of fun and my first appearance on TV. I also got to meet Sheila E as she left the green room to go to the set.

We shook hands and I told her how big of a fan I was for all of these years (mostly during the 1980s, although I didn’t tell her that), and how much I enjoyed her music. Unfortunately, our handshake wasn’t taped for the audience to see, but here’s a video of her interview for the show:

On the radio

I was on the radio this morning on KURV 710 AM in South Texas to briefly talk about my WalletPop story on 10 products to always buy generic. I only got through half the list, but they’ll have me back on the air to discuss another WalletPop story I wrote about generics to not buy.

I was also interviewed on WBAL in Baltimore. Listen here:

I’m available for more radio and TV interviews. I still can’t get my TV interview on kids’ finances online yet; it’s not working on the ABC San Francisco website.

Looking to interview unemployed

How are you coping with being unemployed during the recession? How is your job search going? How do you juggle multiple part-time jobs while still looking for full-time work?

I’m looking to interview and take video of unemployed people for a series of stories on WalletPop.com, a personal finance Web site that I write and edit for. The interviews must be in person and should only take a few minutes. You can also give your elevator speech and I will link to your resume.

Another part-time job

Like many unemployed people, I’ve cobbled together a handful of part-time jobs and have various freelance projects in the works at any given time. It all equates to part-time pay without the benefits.

This week, I’ve added another part-time job — 10 hours a week — as an editor at AOL’s WalletPop.com Web site. I’ve been writing for the personal finance Web site since November 2008, and I’m thrilled to be editing again.

I’ll continue writing for the site, but editing online is a new skill that I’m glad to do.
