Jobs, Help, Roommates Etc
Times are tough and I know a lot of people struggling. I didn't see a thread so I figured I'd start one. This is to post for people to hire, roommates and those seeking jobs. Please be sure to put your city and state at the start or change the subject on your post.
Perhaps you can offer help for moving, heavy cleaning, painting etc. Rather then pay someone why not give someone here a shot that lives maybe 100 mile away? Just be clear on your expectation and what you each other. Having been down this road many times its easy to have a misunderstanding. I believe in putting things in writing not as a legal tool but so that both parties can visually see what they are agreeing to. Believe it or not it makes a difference. I had a friend, someone from here who flew in to help me for two months. Not only did we get to play and have a good time but we were able to help each other. She needed the break, the extra money was nice and I not only got a bit of help but someone of like mind to break up my busy day. Please also feel free to give feed back, tips etc. whatever you feel would be helpful. I know its difficult to trust some of these situations, it can be hit or miss. Sometimes more miss then hit but this could also be the case outside of our queer hemisphere. So if you're looking for help, can offer help or want a roommate post it here with your expectations and details. As with any contact you should thoroughly check them out and get references.

Great idea for a thread! I am near Upstate NY near Albany. With me being sick recently, I could probably have a list a mile long, but don't have the time to post right now. I will post later. I am all about helping out my fellow Planeteers. Thanks for a great idea!

I need an electrician! If anyone is near San Diego and can replace a main box, ground my house and replace a circuit in my bathroom that keeps blowing. I need someone who is licensed for documentation purposes when I sell in the future. Thanks!

Southern Virginia Farm Help
I had someone helping me since early this year who will be leaving the end of the month to return to family. My business is expanding and my own personal needs more evolved. I am seeking not just a worker but a special soul who can assist me in life & I them.
I am seeking an energetic, physically able, positive attitude, dog and animal loving person. The job requires some lifting, cleaning animal areas which means using a pitch fork, shovel, heavy mop and broom. It often means getting up at 7am to go and check on everyone, give large buckets of water twice a day, have a good attitude around the dogs, never a crappy dismissing disposition. Someone that can walk a 140 pound dog and not be intimidated. I need someone that is somewhat of a self starter and will do what needs to be done without a blow blow account of each task. This person genuinely loves animals, being around them, being outside and living in the country. I am seeking someone who can run errands, help with the house and able to see a long term vision rather then just get by. They are motivated and ready for an awesome journey. I offer private room and shared house with cable, internet, cell phone and 125.00 a week cash. You have no bills except your own food. The right person will also be eligible for bonuses based on performance. If they are handy they would be paid extra for repairs outside of their job description. As we grow and expand I may also at some point consider health insurance for the right person. The job requires at least 30 to 40 hours a week. You may work a few hours in the morning, take a break a few hours, return later. I'm very flexible as long as your work gets done and all animals have fresh water and clean living space. I've seen some people get the job done in 30 hours while others need more. No drugs, no heavy drinking, I prefer someone that doesnt smoke but will consider a casual smoker (I do not allow smoking in the house or animals areas so if you need to take a smoke break every 30 min this job is not for you), no drama or bad attitudes. The farm has a very special energy but is easily effected by negativity or someone who can not dial in. I would consider a trial if you'd like to see if you can commit to this but this is not a vacation. You provide your own transportation and you must be willing to provide a standard background check. I'm not interested in your credit score or any of that shit. I am interested in any criminal activity. I would also want at least two verifiable job references & personal references. Basically what many employers would expect today. I have people in my area I can hire but at this point in my life I'm looking for a style of living and to be around others of like mind. (Queers) I'm looking for a family type person who wants to contribute the betterment of our home and life on the farm. In addition the full time worker I have an extra room and would also consider exchanging room, cable and internet in exchange for 20 hours a week to help out. It involves no pay and the same expectation as above applies. Please email me at tamara@dancingcreekfarm.com with an introduction and tell me why you think you may be a good fit. A little background and a resume if you have one. Thank you |

Animal Transport
I occasional have the need for someone to transport a dog to our facility. Many dog owners don't want to put them in cargo or they just find it easier to hire someone to drive them. If you live on the east coast, have transportation and the time to do something like this let me know. The pay is only 10.00 per hour but they pay your gas and if its over 6 hours one way we require one night in a budget hotel.

Brilliant idea. Subscribing.
I travel often. I am a writer but would gladly entertain helping others in different parts of the country that needed it. My needs are being able to go different places and meet people which gives me material (with names and such changed) to work with. And... I do not mean the people I am might be helping, I mean the coffee shop patron, the grocery store clerk and general folks out in the world who are rich fodder for a writer's mind. Am able bodied and can do a wide variety of house/handy work. ~Bleu bleuzette.com |

If that person has moved recently then you might want to have them obtain one from the previous state... for instance, take me, for example...you'd want one from Maryland and New Mexico just to CYA. These reports cost between $10-$30 but that is nominal compared to a full background check which are expensive and time consuming. This coupled with a credit report might do the trick...? I think a lot of intuition will come into play too. The gut is never wrong. |

Any managers (HR, quality, sales, supply chain, maintenance, operations, engineering, R&D, etc..) or engineers, particularly in the manufacturing sector, I'd be glad to help.
Many of my clients offer relocation packages. And for info on Tulsa, check out my Don't Hate the 918 thread.

Okay, I'll take a shot. I desperately need a roommate for nominal help with the bills. The problem (benefit?) is I have three dogs. I'm not home much, working long hours to try to get hold of my finances. Basically, a student or someone who wants more than an apartment would be ideal. I have a decent sized house, pool, hot tub (if I can get it fixed); I live in a great little area in a great town. I am surrounded by waterfalls, right on the bike path, and a river wraps around the property. Full cable, bills included - let the dogs out and feed them when I'm not around. There is a finished basement that would be great - room enough for a bedroom and a sitting area. Storage space for your stuff. Washer/dryer, etc - short walk from the bus stop - rent would be $500, maybe I can knock $100 if you're willing to take on little fix up projects. Perfect for a student, a decent amount of privacy. I'm very laid back and see this as an opportunity for someone to have cheaper rent in an expensive area with more room and amenities, in a nice area. Obviously, must like dogs!! In Leeds, MA. I have a bed I can move to the larger room if you need one.

I'll come back. I'm slammed.
I think it would be easier for everyone if you put your state and the nature of your post right up top. Example: Southern Virginia- Seeking Full Time Worker or Leeds, MA- Seeking Roomate NYC- Need painter This way people can scroll through easier. Thanks |

While we believe that the intentions of this thread are good, it is not one that we can have on the site for the protection of the site and our community. Such a thread is a serious potential for drama based on past experience.
Thank you for understanding. Malcolm (Moderator) |
