If you’re having hard time finding a job, go to a temp service. It’s better than nothing and can be short term. I went two months applying and getting nowhere. Went to a temp agency (ranstad) and got on in a warehouse. A couple months later, they hired me direct. 4 years later, I’m not at that job, but I’ve nearly double my income by taking steps to get where I needed to be.
@jimmymcgill67787 ай бұрын
Temp agencies sucks. They send out people who the boss is friends with. I worked for Ranstad years ago for a few months, in Secaucus, NJ. Lockdowns came around, they lied to me, and probably others, about why they were fired. Everyone knew for like a week before, due to slowdowns, people were going to get fired.

A few months later my Mgr from the temp job called me and asked me to apply for the position directly. I did and got it. Great company, excellent pay, outstanding benefits. I stayed for the next 5 years until we moved out of state. Temp agencies can be a great way to land a good job.

I lived in a Condo a 2bd. and 2bth like 10 years ago. I had my first renter tell me that he worked at Sears in the city mall. I was told by a co-worker that a friend of his needed a room to rent out. So, I thought I will have extra cash and rented one of the bedrooms to him. In the starting of the new year, I raised the rent. I did not see him again. I went to the Sears to track him down and they said they have never heard of him working there when I mentioned his name. You have to be careful who you rent to. After that I was very careful because there many freeloaders out there.

No he is one of those who just wanted access without paying. The people who can meet requirements are the ones I think many should choose but they have other options and get rarer in the secondary rental market.

I have dealt with roommates that only had to pay me 500 a month living in Miami. I even paid for some gas for the other roommate so he can come from San Antonio. Yup they did not hold their jobs very long. I even gave them 1 month rent free to get there lives together. eventually I gave them the boot. Rent in Miami at 500 a month is unheard of. They blew a great opportunity!
@donaldlyons177 ай бұрын
Well I used to charge just $200 a month for rent, utilities, and internet access and people could not even afford that!!!! I say the opportunity might not have been as good as your thinking because they could not afford to pay. I have to remind myself that just because something seems good to me does not mean it is affordable for others!!!!!!

I'd think he could get a job at Lowe's or Home Depot or Ace Hardware, but it sounds like he doesn't want to work retail for a big box company. He'd rather find a guy who has his own business, who is going to pay him low wages with the promise of working his way up. These sorts of schemes rarely pan out. He needs to make supporting himself his priority. He's jumping around for no reason. By the way, he's driving a beater car now if it's only worth $8K.

Good question but the problem might be he is not paying enough of the rent he is supposed to pay. There is a difference between paying less than was requested and paying in full. I suspect he might be paying part of the rent but not the entire amount. Some people believe in the concept that there are other ways to contribute besides paying for it!!!!! George is saying he thinks people who can't pay can't stay but the issue there is that the ability to pay comes from making enough money while not having too much in being paid out!!!!

There are trade or vocational schools out there that have programs to teach and train for job skills such as those and they charge a flat price for the program and usually the student will have to take out some kind of loans even though they are not as high or even close to what a unviersity or community college that gives a degree would cost. Or he might have attened college for a semester or two and dropped out. If he owes $18K total and $10k on his car, plus has other debt this is most likely what the case is.

Then when I had the money, I bought it (if I still wanted it…a good test to whether I really wanted it…enough to part with all that hard earned cash). Why is that so difficult? If you can’t afford to buy it outright, then save up, and when you have the money, buy it, EASY! It’s not rocket science!
