I figured I would repost this since it never got much attention in the first place when I posted this.

Before I say anything, I'd appreciate it if people could help spread this around for me, considering the urgency.


TL;DR Need somewhere to stay in Ottawa so I can find a job there instead of the tiny town I'm stuck in.


Anyway, situation is I was given a period of three months after I lost my job with Walmart back in July, in order to find another job before my family wanted me to move out.

I've had all but one interview since then and that was last saturday, and I didn't get that job. I've applied QUITE literally everywhere in town that would actually take my resume. I've cold called a bunch of places, I've gone back in to check on others in person just to be pushed away and told no every single time. Either they're not hiring or I don't have the experience they require.

I really need to get back into the city like I was before where I can actually have access to employment resources and a much more generous job market, but I need somewhere to stay in the city to do that.

I am not looking for job seeking advice, I know what I am doing, my resume is as good as its going to get, I have a portfolio for interviews even. I just need a job market that isn't so small and restained like I am stuck with here.

Even though I'd rather not, I plan to job back onto welfare in order to pay rent to whoever is willing to house me as either or a room mate, or temporarily until I am able to get off my feet enough to find my own place.

The problem is I need someone who is willing to let me stay with them while I am doing all of this, who can afford to wait for welfare to put me back in their system (which can take up to two weeks at times).

I'd appreciate any help I could get on finding somewhere to go.
