That’s absolutely understood, but OP hasn’t given us context. There might be one of us silly ole redditers that could have an opportunity in the bag for him. I.e. niche areas and small businesses tend to not pour tons of money in hiring costs, but go by word of mouth…like social media and such.

A quick search on indeed.com says there’s 8,940 job listings in the Springfield area. Now finding one of those that pays a living wage, that’s the tricky part.

It's been almost 3 years ago now, but I think some of my comments were blocked related to supporting masking and therefore making political statements 🙄 I left the group and didn't look back. I don't feel I've missed out on anything worthwhile.

We were finding our footing after 16 months off. The balance is better in the upcoming episodes, especially on the ones with guests. Thanks for listening!

It was someone anonymously being a dick to be a dick. I agree that I tilted too easily. I shouldn't have engaged at all. It's just frustrating to work hard to make something fun for people and then the first feedback you receive is that you did a bad job.
Thanks for your interest! I hope you enjoy it! And if you don't... I thank you to not let me know!

Thoughts? Paid advertising with comments censored? Users suspended or blocked for disagreements?

Jobs are not hard to find. Look down the street. Signal gas station hiring, Wendy's, Cheddars, Bass Pro shops, mowing yard businesses, any quick lube tire shop is hiring like Big O. Hospitals are hiring for maintenance and floor care but that takes a month to finally start. Delivery driver for pizza, Habitat restore is hiring. Those are just a few off the top of my head I know are hiring.

I've dropped ky3 my name, number and email. If they're willing to pick up this story then I'm willing to talk.

Cox is hiring, especially EVS. No experience needed and I make about $17 an hour full time. https://www.coxhealth.com/careers/

According to the news this morning, in the Parkcrest neighborhood they noticed a nearly 50% drop in the amount of vehicles speeding. Going from 51% down to 26%. The data definitely shows they work, it's just people's stubbornness to change or think safely.

Maybe contact Springfield Newsleader or KY3? Most often they won’t pickup on these stories, but if it’s a slow day, then they might.
Also it’s not a local company, but a big corporation, so I bet they would be more willing to do an exposure article

What’s your degree in?

What skills, certifications, and/or degrees do you have? What type of work are you looking for? What do you want to be paid?

First rule of snob club:. Don't talk about the poor and unfortunate. They will go to H E double hockey sticks anyways.

I honestly view the Greyhound bus as a cattle cart. Something I've never rode on once in my life so I simply didn't know.
It was never my responsibility to follow anyone, and in fact Brosnan prohibited it, yet ignorant Walmart employees would try to hoist that on me until I had to set them straight, especially with the racist tone it had.
I would be approached by a cashier. Usually the one supervising a self checkout or even a greeter. Also when I'd do an entire perimeter sweep of the store and doing so I'd be approached by a staff member staying to the effect that they don't like the looks of someone that just so happened to be some brown.
Asset protection people really just walk around the store in regular clothes and start to follow people they determine to be sketchy. They will talk on a company phone to an AP in a office or one also walking the store.
Just so you know the AP office is the door. Just to the left while you walk in through the pharmacy side entrance it's almost always unlocked and the APs have zero right to detain you. If they ask you to go into their office it's not a detention hence the unlocked door. Feel free to run.

Places that are hiring that also intersect with places that pay a living wage are a struggle to find.

Hickman gets a comment on the Eat Springfield Mo page & literally blasts her. “Cancel culture”? I’ve never eaten there & never will, just for his pitiful attitude.

They’ve tried to turn a group that roasts strangers into a business venture to promote their businesses. Gross.

Lol I think I know which one you're talking about Campbell/Grant neighborhood market, possibly.
I was the only one there who looked the role. The only there over six feet and went to the gym. The rest were very small and out of shape and probably added credence to private security being laughing stock. The Walmart employees actually complained that I was too large and intimidating

So to fish: what type of job, what wages, what experience level, etc.
