“If you’re homeless, just get a job!”

I work at a shelter. One of our guests got some bad news today. Homeless man: Hi I'd like to apply for a job at your company Job: Great application, you have years of experience in this field. We'd like to move forward with an interview… but you left the address blank. Where do you live? Homeless man: I'm homeless, trying to get back on my feet. Job: Actually we are gonna have to pass. Good luck though! This shit is a lot easier said than done…this is why we advise people not to disclose their housing status to employers. So much for the “labor shortage”.
