I saw this was asked before, but not recently, so I wanted to ask to see if there were any recent suggestions. Without entirely doxxing myself, I worked at Strong Hearts when the business closed and was one of the employees laid off.

Does anyone know of anywhere hiring in the downtown/west side/allentown/elmwood village area? I live in Allentown and do not have a car. I am willing to get a car if the job was worth the commute, but I’d prefer not to if possible.

It does not need to be a restaurant and honestly, I’d almost prefer if it was not (unless it is FOH) as I do not eat meat and the vegan aspect was why I loved working there so much. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in both finance and economics, but have not gotten into the field directly (although I have about 10 years of senior insurance experience under my belt). I left that job to take a much lower stress job at Strong Hearts because I was sick of burning myself out for a company who didn’t care about me. I was devastated when they announced closure. I loved working there.

I realize if you worked with me you know exactly who I am, please do not dox me 🥲 I’m a quick learner, a hard worker, and am open to pretty much anything from a part time minimum wage job to a full time office job with benefits. I am willing to do anything that does not involve driving as the direct job (delivery driving, medical transport, etc). I want to exhaust my options in walking/biking distance before I start applying further away. Thank you! :)

Edit to add i am grateful to be on unemployment, but honestly I’d rather be working as not having a job is mental torture and causing me a lot of anxiety. I made a lot of the stuff at strong hearts and if you can hook me up with a job I might be able to hook you up with your former favorite dish as I prepared a lot of the stuff and still have a lot of recipes memorized ;) I can also provide forehead kisses as well

Moving here with my racist and homophobic attitude from North Carolina. No one can stop me even though I have no idea where Buffalo is. Only saw one Trump flag in Jamestown, what the fuck Buffalo? Saw 2 gun fights though, so I guess that’s good the locals open carry

Looking for a place without lead paint so I can stick my dick in the outlets

Also looking for girls 15+ (they will be 25 in 10 years) to made uncomfortable and drink with, “nightlife”, if you will

Budget is $500 a month

Thanks

I am just losing hope like everyone else here. I was laid off in November of 2025 and got approved for unemployment for 6 months. As it was right before Christmas in an already shitty market, it literally took me 4 months to land a job making $16.50 an hour in a kitchen bc I was so desperate even with 2 college degrees and relevant experience in my field. I started that job in March. July 1st I got laid off again because the company closed and all employees were laid off. Unemployment stated I only had 2 months left of the 6 months since I used 4 months already, fair (in a decent market), which is going to run out in exactly 2 weeks. I have applied for countless jobs and I finally got a virtual interview for a part time position paying $21 an hour. As soon as I went to do the interview I was advised it would be conducted by AI and gave my consent. I hate AI and it has never seen my face by my choice. I debated even doing the interview because of my morals, I don’t want to help it get smart or have my info and I certainly don’t appreciate that a company is using this method for a first interview. If it goes well I was advised i will be contacted for an in person interview. For a part time job that is still not a livable wage for most even if it was full time. I am just so depressed after spending 4 months countlessly applying for jobs, to find one I loved even if the pay sucked I just adjuster my lifestyle, and now I’m back to square zero again and now I only have 2 more weeks left of unemployment before my savings just starts getting drained while I hope I find a job before I am homeless.

I couldn’t do it anymore (30F with 36M Q) had to call the police Saturday during his drunken anger and chaos afraid for my life, told him it was over and blocked him immediately as unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened at my apartment (we don’t live together, thank god), his parents dismiss everything, pay for his DWIs, pay for the damage he’s done, etc. but what really made me realize I made the right choice after his nonstop lies and abuse is my mom calling me and saying how he has been blowing up her phone with awful things about me, none of which was true, I’m so tired, but so reassured in my choice, this man will never be able to take any accountability and I even may have overstepped by trying to help his mom realize she’s enabling him to keep being a monster, oh well, not my battle anymore
