Uh, why does it have to be working on the internet? I'm sure there are many jobs out there that you could find with your level of skills.

davidm3: I am handicapped, in a wheelchair (I only have one leg). I was gone 30 years from Colombia and feel like a fish out of water. My Spanish is bad and I have to start over and need to work soon. I have no funds, family or friends to help me out with my present situation. Everything I know is US-related...I was imprisoned before my deportation and lost everything I had. I am sure you are right, I probably could find something out there, but right now I am not equipped, mentally or physically nor am I adjusted to my surroudings. I don't see it feasible for me to just go out there and find a job to sustain me with rent, food, with whatever is necessary. I am sharing an apartment with someone now and they are letting me live here rent-free until I can provide some kind of income for myself. But I am sure they can only do that for me for only a fair amount of time. Thank you for your interest.

Try telemarketing, send your CV to Atento or other big callcenter companies in Colombia, they migth hire for remote work, or check with GE shopping mall, I don´t think your "poor" spanish would be an obstacle.

Try websites like:
Elempleo.com
zonajobs.com.co
colombianostrabajando.com
Get some hours teaching English ( I assume you are fluent and have a smooth accent)
Or post a resume here to see if anyone may be able to help you.
Sorry to hear your predicament

I am sorry to hear what has happened to you... What city in Colombia are you living in ? , since if a member knows you are living nearby they might be able to help..

Another question everyone has in the back of there mind but have not said is why did you get deported ?

If it is immigration related everyone will understand..

All the best,

Internet jobs will be really tough. Whenever you apply the first thing they check is your IP address. It always comes up, not available for outside of the US. I am a US citizen and I can not get an internet job, so i think your chances are slim to none. However, the suggestion about teaching English is a good one. People pay me just for conversation classes. Good Luck

Sorry to hear about your though break. One option for you, depending on the extent of your handicaps would be to drive a taxi. You will make the normal money driving a taxi, but with your English skills, you could market yourself to non English speakers offering things like tours, airport pick-ups, drop-offs, etc.

With respect to what Philly mentions, you could "appear" as if you a US-based Internet user if you filter all your Internet traffic to a "proxy" in the US. Some ISP's offer this service. If you have someone in the US with a high-speed connection at home, you could buy them a router that you can install the open source firmware, DD-WRT on (very simple to do). Tell them to use that router at home, and then proxy all your traffic through that router using these instructions: http://jstrassburg.blogspot.com/2006/01/howto-tunneling-http-over-ssh-...

Last but not least (and this is what I've seen others in your situation end up doing), you can always look into getting a job as a match-maker (i.e. pimp) to the thousands of horny extranjeros that visit Colombia for these purposes. Obviously, you would be exploiting an unfortunate situation, but then again, if it isn't you doing this, someone else will readily step in....

If you had some contacts in the u.s or perhaps canada you could set up an import/export business.ive done that here in canada and have my wifes family shoping and sending stuff from colombia to here where we sell it....we have a few stores selling fique handbags/handmade colombian jewelry/hats etc.. the handbags and jewelry are popular as there is nothing like it in the stores here.We now have suppliers in colombia that will make what we want when we phone them up.Plenty of room on the mark ups to make a buck even with shiping and duty.My wife sets up and sells at trade shows/rodeos etc.Every two mil col spent brings us 5 or 6 mil col when we sell here. Use fed ex for shiping at present.This is working all right for us as we are making money here and also sending money to colombia for the work and shoping etc there so it helps on that end as well.
just an idea thought id pitch to you....good luck whatever you decide to do.

Hummmmm?? A handicapped "one legged" person being deported after 30 years? Has to make one wonder about the validity of this post. Wheelchair bound? No artificial leg available where you lived? Hummmmmmmmmmm?
