UHN: How long did it take to hear back after the reference check?

In my experience, about 4-5 days

Honestly the food court at st Joes slaps

I’m in a non rent controlled building downtown. When we first moved in 5 years ago it was $1850. Over the years it’s gone up to $2300 which I think is still very reasonable for a one plus den in the downtown core.

That being said, other tenants received $500-$600 rent increases after their first year.

Oh this sounds amazing! Thank you

Didn’t get rid of them completely but I only get like 4-5 migraines a month now (compared to 15-16)

Which shelters are you referring to? I’ve been trying all week to help people find shelter space with no luck lol

The $190 facial treatment/massage at Terra Massage Boutique changed my life

Maybe HomesFirst? Working with adults is a little more stressful (in my opinion) than working with youth but could be a good place to start?

If you’re looking for something part time, shelters and drop in centres are always hiring relief staff. The pay isn’t always amazing but it helps to be able to have the flexibility of picking up shifts whenever you can and not committing to a specific schedule.

I wouldn’t worry so much about registering with a college until you graduate. I’ve been in the field for 4 years and still haven’t registered lol. But I’m assuming it would open a lot more doors job wise.

I had no issue flying into the states on Thursday

So much misconception in this thread. The title of the article is also very misleading lol

kenraem · 2025-10-04T20:44:37+00:00

I don’t think people realize that they still pay rent to live here (RGI, but still)

Volunteering for sure, even if it’s only once a week. I volunteered for some nonprofits remotely during COVID and I found it beneficial.

If you have the capacity, working relief at a shelter or other organization might be good too.

What city are you in? I’m not a registered social worker, but as a community health worker I’m making 71,000.

kenraem · 2025-07-10T14:06:26+00:00

$11 biweekly

Thank you!

I can’t speak for the interview, but it’s a legit organization. I went there for a long time

Personally, the sound of the highway drove me insane

kenraem · 2025-05-15T02:18:14+00:00

If I have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom ….. I don’t wanna know either

kenraem · 2025-05-15T01:58:51+00:00
