Case-Workers Support Job-Seekers Visiting Shelters, As Much As All, & Any, Other Need There Is For Guidance, & A Need To Report Progress.

I’ve Noticed Some Tend To Take Advantage Of Our Potential To Be A “Captive Audience”.

Yesterday, My “Job-Seekers” Group Sat Through A Presentation About Loans — Not Grants, Or Offers To Work, LOANS, Requiring Business Plans, & Proof We Know How To Make Money; The Business Must Be Proven Viable.

Last Week’s Presenter Needed Us To Have A Business, Willing To Use Her Product/Service, Then, Submit A Pitch, Or Proposal, To Sell Her Product/Service, To Others.

This Morning, I Told My CaseWorker The Group Was A Waste Of Time.

I Have An Interview, Tuesday; A Follow-Up App., From An Employer Asking Me To Be “On Call”, For Disaster Support; A Training Class, Next Month, For November Election — In Case I’m Not Employed, & Efforts To Make For My YouTube Channel To Pay Me!

Ha!

Let’s Mantra! “Work, For A Year; Make $30K; Debt, DisAppear — As I Don’t, & I Won’t Play!” (Repeat, With Glee!👏😁) Tap! Tap! Tap-Boogie! Ha! Woo!

Please, Smile & Laugh, Often! ☺️

While At The Day Shelter, This Morning, I Was Greeted By One From Another Shelter, & I Shared The Data I Used To Get An Interview. The Employer Is Setting-Up In This Area, & There’s Hope, Again, Thankful-Li!
