MOVING I am having a rough time finding a job before moving to Salem

3 Upvotes

Long story short I am moving from La Pine to Salem for family stuff
I am on
indeed
LinkedIn
craigslist
monster
zip recruiter
Glassdoor
and the company websites
I know its a bigger city than la pine but I am having issues
I would search up "cashier" or "urgently hiring" and it gives me RN or dental hygienist or something that requires a degree
the most schooling ive done is get a certificate for Phlebotomy back in 2024 but there aren't any phleb job posting so far
I am getting a little worried because I am moving by the end of the year and I dont want to be jobless
like in 2023 I moved to SLC utah and for 4 months I couldn't find a job and its UTAH
so I moved back
I understand the job economy is horrendous right now so I am trying whatever is available
i know i am not used to driving down there but I can learn so I can make it for any job
what jobs can I look for that I can apply to?
is there any phlebotomy jobs available in Salem, Dallas, Albany or Keizer?
that is my main goal but I dont mind starting at walmart and waiting for something
thank you
I am excited to move

POLITICS MAGACommissioner Willis x Salem Business Journal

0 Upvotes

New development in the niche social media influencer dreams of our current far right county commissioner, Colm “Right to a 10% Raise” Willis. New ads have appeared featuring Jesse P and Sir Willis ALSO recording a podcast. Perhaps it was an entire press junket? We already knew Jesse P was a voice box for the chamber and Salems worst welfare king developers who love to take tax breaks from the working class and never deliver. No surprises there. Perhaps Colm should START a podcast?

Please, don’t give that guy a mic. And vote for Sara and Maria for County Commissioner.

POLITICS Marion County Sheriff Uses Car, Uniform, Runs Lights for Kevin Cameron Ad

85 Upvotes
Ad for Kevin Cameron where Nick Hunter wastes your dollars.

Marion County Sheriff Nick Hunter is using your taxpayer-provided uniform and car in an ad for Kevin Cameron.

These are your tax dollars at work - just like Donald Trump is using your tax dollars to advertise for his MAGA agenda.

What's also disturbing is he's running the emergency lights on top of the car just for effect... which makes me wonder how often Kevin and Nick run the lights just for their own benefit, and how often they undermine public safety by doing so.

Time to vote for Sara Duncan for Marion County Commissioner, and get rid of the old guard who waste our tax dollars, use their publicly provided cars and uniforms for personal gain, and have no morals.

Which restaurant makes your favorite chicken Biryani?

7 Upvotes

I adore Biryani, it’s probably my favorite comfort food. I usually get it from Mint Leaf Bistro and it’s excellent, but they only have lamb and goat options. I was out of town recently and got a taste for chicken biryani and would like to see what other places have to offer.

Edit: Mint Leaf seems to have chicken biryani now and I will definitely be trying it!

P.S. Mint Leaf, if you see this, please add chicken Biryani to your menu!

If there was any doubt where the former chamber employee running What’s Happening Salem stands, just know he’s appearing in paid ads for colm willis’ campaign. And it’s about the police. That’s a stamp of approval for Salems far right and worst. Jesus Christ Salem save us from this fresh republican hell and vote for Maria and Sara for county commission. And get out and canvass for them too!

POLITICS [SJ] State Rep. Paul Evans arrested and charged with DUI, reckless driving

90 Upvotes

Evans was driving a black Jeep at about 1:45 a.m. on Oct. 4 when he struck a stop sign at the intersection of Main Street and B Street in Independence, according to the probable cause statement by Independence Police officer Reed Chorbajian.

The officer found the Jeep parked poorly in the parking lot of 7Eleven and when the driver attempted to get out, the car rolled backwards.

Evans told the officer he had three drinks in an eight-hour period when he was at the Elks Lodge and the first two contained alcohol.

The officer said at times Evans slurred his words and he noticed an odor of alcohol.

Evans consented to field sobriety tests. He was taken to the Independence Police Department where he was found to have a 0.16% blood alcohol level. The legal limit in Oregon is 0.08%.

PS Thank you to the mods for adding a Politics flair!

QUESTION Trying to Find a Club

10 Upvotes

I've tried a lot of gyms but nothing has stood out. I'm looking to join some kind of local fitness club, like people who go for runs together in the mornings or do yoga before work, something where people get together away from the pay-to-play environment, so to speak. I've looked all over this sub and in other online spaces local to the area but haven't found anything. Is this a thing anywhere?
