[@ChelseaCallahan]

WHAT no way! Definitely is a sign, congrats! 😀🎉

Craigslist + walking on the street dropping off my resume is the onlyyyyy way I’ve ever gotten a job. Love Craigslist, she gets a bad rap 🥲

[@ChelseaCallahan]

she really does! for finding a restaurant job she is #1 always

[@legojayman]

Oh man I just got accepted into NYU for grad school, this video is a sign its time to get serious about preparing to move. Thanks!

[@braiwiberg3957]

Great video, great shirt. Loving your channel. ☺️🤍

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Thanks, Brai!!! 💓

[@NotDaisyNYC]

Rego Park is almost exactly the same distance to midtown as it is from Bushwick to midtown. Quieter and less nightlife, but safer and it's not a gentrified neighborhood.

[@blakechung2039]

Forest Hills is gorgeousssss. Went to a house party there once in the springtime and it was beautiful.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

yay ok! thanks for letting the ppl know! 💓

[@lorrainei1622]

Yes it is, I’m trying to move to forest hills next year.

[@Niklaura]

[@lukesmith7887]

I finally made the move to NYC, but it’s just finding a part time job that is the hardest! 🤯 it’ll all work out!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Yay you made it! And yes I’m in the same boat... if I find any leads ill come back for this comment lol it will work out for sure!

[@lorrainei1622]

Do you guys need help finding jobs in nyc?

[@lorrainei1622]

A bum stole my package before, I don’t like my current area that’s why I’m moving next year, hopefully to forest hills.🤞🏾

[@kaylakendall9659]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you for making these videos🙌🏽

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I'm so happy it could help, thanks for watching!

[@claysoggyfries]

I want to move to NYC after I get out of the Army. I'm currently stationed in Fort Drum, Upstate NY, basically Canada. Can someone give me advice?

[@kaseyanson5300]

Im leaving oregon on monday to new york. Ive watched acouple videos of yours and happy with some info you have but havent seen anything about homeless shelters. Im not coming completely broke but ill have close to $850 to start, reccomend something other than shelters till i get a job? ( i have classic french cuisine experience with diner speed) im either going to fall and keep trying or succeed no quitting available.

[@KourttneyL]

Life update?!

[@KiwiiDassit]

I’d be interested in a life update because shelters in nyc are terrible.

[@imaperson4559]

I wish I could move with just a backpack and suitcase but sadly my job runs off a sewing machine and supplies

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I totally get that, I could only speak to my experience! I'm sure there is a more permanent living situation out there so you don't have to move all the time. Good luck in your move, and thanks for watching! x

[@donetho4250]

How did you get robbed? They broke in your room or robbed in person? Because I have an expensive ass laptop too and I’m wondering would it be safer to leave it home everyday or carry it with me everywhere I go with the potential of getting mugged in person

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Someone broke in my apartment from the inside! Definitely better to leave your laptop at home in my opinion, but maybe hide in a drawer or invest in a safe or something 🙂

[@donetho4250]

@@ChelseaCallahan for sure thank you! And I hope all is well with you now 🙏 I was also listening to you talk about how you rented sublets to avoid all the requirements/docs that are required for regular spaces but the sublets I'm seeing on Craiglist are all asking for the same thing (credit, broker fee, first and last month etc) ? Do you know of any good places I should look, cause this aint it 😩

[@ChelseaCallahan]

@@donetho4250 Yes there are a lot of good facebook groups that I use!! Our friend Craigslist can be a hot mess sometimes haha. All the sublets I've done require some sort of deposit but it's always refundable. Check out 7:33 in this video I list out the groups and talk about my tips for securing one 🙂I hope this helps!! good luck! x

[@donetho4250]

@@ChelseaCallahan Will do, thanks so much! Your videos are everything 😩🙌🏽❤️

[@louiscosta3650]

if you have '40x the rent' income and can prove proof of funds but are an international student with no credit history and obviously no Guarantor.. what are the chances of finding a place by yourself. thinking of moving out of London to NYC. any help from anyone would be appreciated. one love x

[@ChelseaCallahan]

It’s hard to say! Every building requirements are different but I think you definitely have a good chance of that being enough

[@louiscosta3650]

@@ChelseaCallahan thank you so much. Hopefully this comes to fruition very soon! 🤞🏼. Loving your vids btw. Really informative. X

[@lorrainei1622]

I’m a Brit currently living in New York.

[@KiwiiDassit]

Subletting might be your best bet to start

[@markwalter4881]

What is meant by "40X the rent?" Does that mean if the apartment is $2000 you have to have $80K in savings? That does n't sound right!
