need a job and a place to live

http://blog.e10st.com/deedee-on-14th-street

may we realize a society in which everyone has meaningful work, clean shelter, and the one true security: peace from within and from without!

excerpt:

"I think that the Internet is great for a lot of things, but the Internet has been a real obstacle with people getting a job these days, because all the companies tell you,'No no, we don't want you to come in and fill out an application; we want you to do the application over the internet. The problem with that is, they don't get to meet you, they don't get to see your essence and who you are. You don't stand out. If you don't use the proper key words in your cover letter... It's very impersonal... You're just a piece of paper..." ~ DeeDee on 14th Street

there are jobs, but, unfortunately, there's a lot more "variables" you're not including in your video about why people are unemployed and why they are employed. there are countless reasons for both. but anyways, thanks for reading off that screen to the side and the hot chick :) keep up the good work!

@ronpack, thank you for watching the video. There are many variables, agreed! It's not clear what you mean by "thanks for reading off that screen to the side" as there was no screen to the side. This video was shot via mobile phone with many people passing by, then quickly edited in iMovie to add music and text. The question stands: how do we actualize the vast potential of the workforce in this country to the greatest benefit of all? How can we create work that grows with positive meaning?

She has a good point, if your life long home has been a certain city, we tend to want to keep living there, her heart is in New York. I wish good luck to her, and hope she's in a better situation now.

+1 about how companies hire based on surveys and keywords :(

we need companies to hire face to face like it used to be.
