Reposting - need help getting myself into work and out of a homeless shelter.

Repost. I am looking for some help with transitioning from life at a homeless shelter into a full-time job that will eventually lead me to finding a permanent sublet in a private residence.

I need help with things like: transportation, cellphone bill, food (free food at the shelter, but with a job I won't be able to eat there), and work clothing (very important, I need to look both presentable and have durable clothing, so this unfortunately isn't cheap). About 3/4ths of the money has been raised already, I am hoping to start work around the last week of August so I need to be ready.

Getting out of homelessness, need a bit of help until the 1st paycheck!

Hi all,

For almost the last two years, I've struggled with homelessness due to mental health issues. Spent a year and a half happily sleeping on the street until my medical issues caught up with me.

Finally got myself into a shelter this Spring, improved my health, and currently secured a job with a (likely) start date of Aug 18th. Well-paying work too, I am hoping to be out of the shelter by the end of September and sublet a nice room somewhere in my old neighborhood.

But of course the job requires some restructuring of my life which will be a bit costly (full details in the fundraiser).

Any and all help is appreciated.

PS - I know the picture is from the hospital, but it's nothing serious and I am just spending a night or two here to take some antibiotics.

ETA: I added notes and discharge docs (partial of course) from the hospital visit that cost me my previous job. As you can see, I had 4 petty severe sudden illnesses and one chronic problem. Happy to try to explain more details if anyone is curious, though as I was intubated for several days, my memory is spotty.

(VERY URGENT) someone with a general knowledge of construction, TriState US area. Need by EOD.

I have a chance of scoring a very good job with a very reputable company, but need someone who can pull off pretending to be a level above Project Manager. Hopefully potential employer will just wanna verify dates of employment and role, but you never know.

If you can use Google Voice to get a Jersey or Connecticut number, that should work.

Please DM.

How does this make sense?

This makes it seem like there is no A train connection from the C at Jay, High, Fulton, or Chambers, which makes no sense. Can someone explain?

Planning on getting a late 90s/early 00s Dodge Dakota next Spring. Curious about your opinions on getting a custom paint scheme.

And yes, I chose these two colors because they are available in Rust-Oleum high endurance enamel and I am ghetto and plan on doing any body work and painting myself.

Looking for feedback on:

  1. Rim color
  2. Where the color change should occur
  3. Should I add a dividing strip
  4. Should I paint the sideview mirrors to match the rims?

Thanks for the input!

Old story, but bizarre and I wanted to share.

This happened over ten years ago. I was the the leaseholder on a 4-bed in Brooklyn, and on the plus side it made it really cheap for me. On the downside, lots of dealing with just absolutely moronic young people.

Had one roommate, P. P said she had cancer before but was in remission, whatever I don't judge.

Few months go by, she seems like an okay roommate. Then out of nowhere, she just disappears a few days before the month's end. Texts me at the start of the month:

" I have cancer again, I will be staying with my boss, can you cover my rent for a few weeks?"

Okay, fine. I say she has until mid month to catch up. Mid month comes, crickets. Just nothing. So I let her know that if I don't hear from her by the last week of that month, I am tossing all her shit out and re-renting the room. So I do exactly that.

HOLY FUCK. i enter her room, this is the scene:

  1. Her mirror is broken all over the floor.

  2. There are cigarette butts everywhere.

  3. Dirty (but designer) clothing everywhere.

  4. Worst part: in the corner, there is a contractor bag absolutely full of dirty dishes and food. Above, a cloud of maybe 500 fruit flies.

Well, I had no choice but get to work. Bought duct tape, a box full of contractor bags, and bug killer. Improvised a biohazard suit, and started vacuuming up all the fruit flies.

All in all, took about 10+ hours to clean the room, 25+ bags full of trash and clothing on the curb. I figured she died and no one had my info to let me know.

Nope, a month later my other roomie approaches me and goes '"hey I saw her working at some shit jewelry store in Manhattan, she seemed perfectly fine.

TL;DR: roommate left a nightmare of a space to clean, I thought she died but she was just mentally ill.

Karl Urban is the absolute GOAT of sci-fi and fantasy actors. Thoughts?

In chronological order:

- Hercules/Xena

- LOTR

- Chronicles of Riddick

- Doom

- Star Trek

- Dredd

- Almost Human

- Thor

- Mortal Kombat 2

- The Boys

And he gives 100% to every one of these roles. Has any other actor had a bigger chunk of their credits in sci-fi and fantasy than him?

Looking for some sample resumes for personal trainers

Hi all,

​

I am new to this community and looking to help my gym buddy get a job as a personal trainer. The guy really knows how to train hard and when he talks about fitness he's very inspiring.

​

However, he's not that great at the whole job aspect of it, so I want to help him build a resume and apply to places.

​

What should a personal trainer CV look like? Should we include a picture, education, his areas of expertise? I would really love some help regarding this. Thanks !!

Looking for a night time job, hoping this subreddit can help.

Hi Bay Ridge folks, I know this is a pretty active community and since I am from the area I figured I'd reach out here.

Due to life circumstances, I am currently looking for a night time job; I am currently staying at a homeless shelter and it's tough to sleep at night (people are noisy), but much easier to sleep during the day. So really I would have a lot easier of a time working nights.

Some of my experience includes: construction (painting, rough and trim carpentry, tilework), construction management (this is something I am really proficient at). I am currently working on getting an OSHA 40 and should have it within a week or so. I also have non-profit project management experence (I realize this isn't very useful for graveyard shift jobs). Also, food service experience.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Living in a homeless shelter, need some assistance to help me find a job and get healthier.

Hello,

This sub has been amazingly helpful to me when I got into a shelter after living on the street for 1.5 years in Brooklyn, NY.

Now that I am more stable, I would like to start looking for work and exercising to become healthier. Having even a part time job on the books will help me move up the list for getting affordable housing. Establishing a running routine will help with health issues.

I actually already have an interview lined up with a local workforce development group, so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Here is the link to the Amazon list:
