Capable Programmer Seeking Job
Login to Send EmailDescription
I have a technical background and am experiencing hardship in Austin. See my post in another thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38496624. To be concrete with my request: if you know literally anyone with any kind of business in Austin that claims to be unable to fill an opening please have them contact me at goodworker@duck.com. I am a capable programmer, but I don't even mean jobs in the tech sector. I mean anything. I need to be able to pay rent at the end of this month. Empirically I know that I can survive (but not thrive) even if I'm only bringing in $250 per week, with $20 per week being groceries, and the rest going towards rent and incidental expenses like bus fare, mobile plan, and so on. I will even let you (or them) audit every one of my purchases if you want. The caveat, obviously, being that I don't have a car to drive. I can state that in the 5 years since the accident, I've literally never been late. I will do what it takes to get there and will not overpromise. Places within a mile or two of the major thoroughfare (Lamar) and its busline are doable, whereas places 'in Austin' but not actually in Austin are basically unworkable because there's no way for me to get there outside of pricey rideshares, which I can't afford in my current circumstances. I have $125.98 in my bank account, $23 in my wallet, $1.29 in loose change, and 50000 Korean won. I do not have a support network I can rely on for help. If you yourself are in Austin and want to vet me, I will personally handle your household chores. I will literally do meal prep and buy groceries and do your laundry, etc. To give an example of the sorts of jobs I'm being ghosted on: https://austin.craigslist.org/fbh/d/austin-shipping-receiving-delivery/7691879912.html: '(Baking/cookie company) is adding to our shipping and delivery team! Job duties include picking, packing and boxing orders' 'Shifts are Tuesday - Saturday 6:00AM to 2:00PM, though overtime will be needed during busy times'. This is a full-time job that I'm more than willing to do despite what it would mean for appearances. It would provide me more money than I've made in years.
