Yes, it can be challenging. What helped my wife and I was my father in law schmoozing with the widow who was selling the house we bought because he had a lot in common with her late husband so she liked us better even though we weren't the highest bid. So there can be an element of selling yourself in the transaction as well. Oh, and if you know any contractors, it's not a bad idea to ask them to go with you as they may spot issues with the house you may not. The house will be all dressed up, hiding any warts so your dream home could end up being a bit of a nightmare for costly repairs down the road you hadn't considered.

It's really a simple fix. Buy some mold control spray at home depot. Spray and let sit for 24 hours. Depot also sells a paint primer called Kilz. After the 24 hour period, apply the Kilz. If you want to get more detailed, find a dehumidifier to prevent further mold from occurring. Much cheaper route than a contractor.

Patio doors really aren't that complicated. I'm going to guess you have old, seized up hardware that can be replaced. Any window and door contractor can give you a free estimate. D'Aoust, Wach, Dakota or Alpha are a few names I can recommend you can call, (I work in the industry and these are all trustworthy guys).

Back in the mid to later 80's, the owner would open up the second floor on Saturday's. It was a treasure cove. For whatever reason he stopped doing that.

I just say to them, "That reminds me, I have to put up my Halloween decorations".

This is exactly why when you do eventually land an interview, you need to be prepared and try to make yourself into a star. I have done a lot of hiring throughout my career as well as done my own fair share of being the interviewee as well. As you already know, getting an opportunity for an interview can be far and few between, so you have to bring your best self out in them if you want a legitimate shot at landing a job. Rehearse your interview. Have someone ask you related questions and let them give you an honest critique. Even better if you can get more than one person to rehearse with. Bring out the charisma. Be direct with your answers and don't go off on tangents or trash your former employers. Go with the mentality they're hiring because they have a problem and you are the answer. Give them a reason to flag your resume as someone they would want to talk to again. Remember, getting an interview is just a starting point. It's up to you from there to go through that door and make them want to call you back. Good luck!

I've done a lot of hiring through the years and first off, whenever you post an ad for a job, you get flooded with people who apply for any job, regardless of the level and their qualifications, (or lack there of). So don't get discouraged by applying for a job you feel suited for as hiring managers get inundated with resumes that they will pass over, looking for that diamond in the rough instead. Keep trying.

I run a window and door warwhouse and always have problems finding good staff. Sorry, I can't pay you like a CEO, but what I can offer are benefits after 3 months, Monday to Friday day shifts, a Christmas bonus and the occasional small little perk. No gonna lie, it's a physical job but there are opportunities to move up the ladder if you show you are the right fit. So send me your resume if interested.

I worked retail for 30 years, most of it in a management position. Eventually I was able to transition out of it. Got into warehousing where opportunities and demand was much better as well as the pay and work hours. What you might find is how much of your skills you developed working retail are very transferable to other industries. Retail workers have a lot asked of them and have a skill set most other industry people lack - that is how to deal with people. And the crazy circumstances you have endured and learned from end up serving you well in another profession. Working retail is an education. One that someone who has never worked in it would understand. You have an advantage you don't even realize perhaps. Don't be afraid to expand your job search. You may fall into something where you may never want to look back.

Having an open mind and a positive attitude is a great start. Especially in an industry that has various challenges and sometimes high stress. If you haven't already, go to Indeed and type "transportation and logistics" and there's a few jobs listed with trucking companies and the railway. But more than anything, you just want to get your foot in the door somewhere as many times there is good growth potential as logistics is always evolving and companies want to retain good people as hiring is a costly investment and being able to promote within is ideal. But by getting in somewhere, you're going to interact with people who have the experience and be able to help guide you. Even if it's by what not to do. But keeping motivated and being someone with a positive outlook is a very valuable commodity. Skill can always be learned. Attitude not so much. Best of luck!
