Looking for work when you're homeless

You're not able to get enough sleep. You're at the mercy of schedules imposed by others. You need to schedule things within the confines of a few hours, going from one side of a county to the other by local bus. You've also got two kids in tow and can't get a voucher for daycare while looking for work.

The nearest contact to someone that could watch your kids is themselves in the homeless shelter. If you leave them in their care, you're placing them in the same situation that caused that person to become homeless...their values and life choices.

What do you do? You've got two weeks left before you've got to leave the shelter. You know that even if you land a job today, it'll be at least three weeks before seeing your first paycheck.

Things they don't admit about what you'll go through when you're in the homeless system. Anything you can do or add to your arsenal of information, shove it in your head.

Los Angeles jobs is just another one of those things to add.
