Got job old school way

[Patnono]

For those seniors who are looking for a job and have not been successful? I hand wrote a note with a resume to prospective employers. People have told me it wouldn't work? We'll they were Wrong. I got several responses and did get a job as a result of this. So don't be afraid to step out of the Box.

When do you start?

 

[AZ Jim]

I love it for you Pat but thank God I no longer seek a job....

 

[Patnono]

Not sure? They haven't received my physical or background results yet. I know I passed. I m happy for this, it's convenient where I can walk there saving on gas n wear n tear on my car. It's a beautiful and well kept assistance living place. I think I'll stay till 70? That's 5 more years...

 

[Patnono]

Thanks, LUCKY YOU! It's senior housing circumstances, it takes years on a waiting list. I live in California where rents are ridiculous!!! .

One for the good guys! Way to go.

 

[Patnono]

Thanks and to the company who's giving a job to a senior

Congrats Patnono! What kind of a job did you get, is it full time? When do you start work?

 

[Patnono]

Thanks, a caregiver in an assistant living facility. Everyone has their own apartment. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for them? It's Part-time, SSI has income rules. I don't know when I'll start? They need all my paperwork from the physical n background check first. Maybe next week?

 

[Ruthanne]

Good going! I have been thinking about part time work, too. I hope all goes well for you.

 

[Patnono]

Thanks, try caregiver their in short supply, young people don't care to do that kind of work. And will train you. Good luck to you too

I'm confused, I thought that you recently landed a job in retail.

Did that job offer fall through?

In any case good luck with your new position!

 

[Patnono]

No, ive applied for retail positions for which I had experience but was ignored. Thanks

You make acritical point bout the SS rules on income. We can screw ourselves if we don't know those rules.

 

[Patnono]

When I first applied for SSI they tell you. I don't want to work full-time anyway.. once you reach 66 you can earn as much as you want

 

[oldman]

I don’t mean to sound stupid, but what did the note state?

 

[Patnono]

I kept it Short, somethings about my character and that I'd appreciate their consideration
