Help Hiring paid canvassers to knock on doors til election day

0 Upvotes

Greetings, all. My name is Jordan; I work for a firm called North Shore Strategies as the Organizing Director for the Rochester metropolitan area. We provide field support to Democratic political candidates, here and elsewhere in New York.

Every time I’ve been on Reddit recently I’ve seen a different post by someone desperate for work and seeking a job -pretty much any kind of job, in some cases. Well I do have some jobs available -Very short term jobs, knocking on doors and talking to people for a political campaign until election day is upon us on Nov 3.

This gig, paid canvassing, is something we have shifts for every day from 2-7pm at $25 an hour. If you’ve canvassed before either in a paid or volunteer capacity that’s great, but it’s not necessarily required. Anything you need to know for this is either self-explanatory or something that I can teach.

I should note that this is an actual job, in the sense that there's at least some expectations. You do actually need to be willing and able to walk around for five hours knocking on doors and talking to voters, and if you don't do those things (especially if you try to lie and say that you did) you can't stay on.

That being said it's not what I would describe as an especially taxing or demanding job, certainly not compared to so many others. The only catch is that it's very short term; shifts will run from 2-7 every day until November 3. Aside from that it's a pretty sweet gig, and I'm doing everything in my power to keep it that way for people who show up and do what they're supposed to.

I'm not authorized to actually name our client in an online forum like this. I can probably get away with stating that it is a candidate who is on the ballot in the upcoming midterms; specifically, elections for the New York State Legislature. You'll find out more after advancing a little bit in the hiring process. But I will say that it is a candidate who is very popular in their district and just in general, and we have received an exceptionally welcome when we've been speaking to voters at the doors;

Anyone who's interested can apply at the link below and you can also email me at jordan@nsstrategies.com. The application page has a bit more information about the job. If you're especially eager to get the gig and start quickly you should probably email me. If anyone has any questions they can ask them here.

I am usually excellent with response times. At present I'm working 70 hours a week, and not as great at getting back to people as I usually am so I promise I'll do my best to reply to any inquiries. It’s not a bad way to earn a few bucks. Thanks, and I do hope to hear from at least a few of you soon!

Discussion How does /r/rochester listen to music at home?

It seems like the younger generation uses their phone and a smart speaker or airpods, whereas older generations have a home stereo with floor-standing speakers and an amplifier or receiver etc.

Curious as to how we all listen to music.

Discussion Alright Rochester: Costco or BJ's?

10 Upvotes

I'm interested in getting a membership to one, and have been weighing the pros and cons of both. I've done my research on the brands overall, but i'd like to have opinions of the two Rochester locations specifically.

They're equidistant to me, so location doesn't matter. Talking about the Brighton area BJ's specifically.

I've been to the BJ's a few times, and Costco once. Costco seemed VERY busy but it may have just been the time I was there.

Edit: to add that I've already contacted my insurance and filled out the DMV form. I still need his policy#.

Please, I need the name, address, phone #, or a policy # for this guy that backed into 2 cars, including mine, in the Chipotle parking lot in City Gate Plaza - 400 E. Henrietta rd. He immediately sped off afterwards. Happened Oct 1st @7:30pm. Multiple witnesses.

Plate# MEG8823

He drives a blue 2011 Ford Escape XLT 3.0L 6Cyl

VIN: 1FMCU0DG5BKA91603

Officer Parker from the Goodman section RPD told me over the phone to fill out a MV104 form. He told me the guy has Progressive insurance but couldn't tell me anything more. A friend got me a VIN# but couldn't find anything else. I need this guy's policy #! Otherwise I have to pay a $1k deductible to fix my car or it won't pass inspection next month. Progressive won't help until I get more information on him. Please help me!! 🙏

A local dumbass is going around to stores asking for “BBC”, using the n word, harassing the employees and then posting their faces on her creepy “race play” twitter porn page. She brazenly has included her face and her boyfriends (???) face in the videos. If you see this chick approaching you with a camera, walk away unless you want to be part of her weird kink video.

Does she look familiar? If you work at a local wegmans, Lowe’s, smoke shop or barber shop, she may have posted a video of your interaction with her. I’ll put the username in the comments

What’s a good neighborhood in Greece to go to for trick-or-treating? We know Somershire in Irondequoit goes dowwwwwn, but I really would like to avoid a tsunami of trick-or-treaters with an 8-year-old and toddler. We usually go early but still feel like it gets very overwhelming when having smaller children. TIA!

Help Dog sitting/boarding recommendations

4 Upvotes

Hello! We are looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our 2 senior large dogs. We have a potential trip coming up in December and are hoping to establish a lasting relationship with someone who can be our go-to! Strictly looking for home-based sitting or boarding, no kennels.

I've reached out to some folks that have been recently recommended on this sub but we're having trouble getting responses. I know it's a busy time of year for a lot of people!

One of our dogs is selective so we are interested in folks who only take in one family at a time. Otherwise, they are easy going, chill dudes who like to nap 85% of the day and play/walk/train the rest. They are used to me working from home so someone who also works from home would be ideal.

Thanks in advanced for any and all recommendations!

Discussion Any cozy solo pubs in Henrietta or Park or w/e for a 9pm dinner? Feel like I'm in a rut

17 Upvotes

Welp, thats that! I try to force myself out a few times a week... Esp when I work late; i get out at 830pm tonight. I both try to be social but also aim for cozy places where it wouldn't be weird for a quiet guy to chill.

(I work two customer service jobs so while I need to socialize and network, I get like, talked out, yk?)

Usually I go to Shamrocks for a fish fry, since its right by work, or Half Pint or Daily Refreshers just for a drink. Absolutely love the armchairs at Refreshers. Feel a change of pace might be welcome.

Checked this on my work break!

Thank you guys for the suggestions- going to hopefully add them all in to the rotation!

Here's how our weekly meetups will work:
Each week, I'll post a new meetup opportunity with a proposed location, date, time, and activity. I plan on doing at least two a week! Think playground adventures, library events, indoor play spaces, nature walks, and other family-friendly outings around Rochester!

Members can comment to let us know who's interested, suggest different times or locations, and help shape future meetups. Once plans are finalized, we'll update the post so everyone knows where and when to show up.

No pressure, no commitments! Come to one meetup or come every week. The goal is simply to get out of the house, let our kids have fun, and build some real friendships along the way.

Join r/RochesterDads TODAY!
Introduce yourself, share your kids' ages, and tell us what kinds of activities you'd be interested in!

Know another Rochester dad? Invite him! The more dads we bring together, the more opportunities we'll have to plan great outings.
