Hope to see you there to help our local music and art community! ❤️🙏

Thanks!

I've been unemployed for a month now. Finding a decent job seems almost impossible right now. I don't want to leave this city but I need work desperately. Anyone know of anyone hiring?

I can't make it but don't want the ticket to go to waste. Holler at me if you want to go and I can transfer the ticket through the DICE app.

(SORRY FOR THE NOVEL!) Hey Asheville! I've (41M) been searching for work in all the usual ways, and I'm striking out, big time. I've lived in NC for about 6 months, but I was living in Waynesville, commuting to Asheville for work. Originally from western US (Arizona, Colorado, Oregon), and outside of a few coworkers, I don't know anyone other than my brother and his gf. I've been living where I work for a couple weeks, and now that I'm in Asheville, I really don't want to leave anytime soon. That being said, I have to find new work (and a new home but I'll figure that out next), as I can't support myself on these wages, and things are falling apart where I work. I work in hospitality, and the hotel where I work has clearly demonstrated over the last few months that money is the only thing that matters. The owners have made business decisions that won't lead to long-term, sustained success, and with complete disregard for the wellbeing of their employees. That's fine, their business, but I am not going down with this ship. Someone left a review saying they thought the hotel would be closing in 6 months, and I think they might be correct. Due to planned vacations, people quitting, and the hurricane, myself and one other person had to run the hotel by ourselves for the last couple of weeks. 12 hour days, responsible for night emergencies, not much sleep, living with rodents, and this was immediately followed by them slashing my hours in half w/out warning. The owners are all well off, and the extra 20 hours a week will not break them, but it will for me. There was no warning like "Hey, we're going to kick your butt for a couple weeks and then we're going to reduce your hours by 50%." It was just thanks for your hard work, here's your new schedule. I really like the people I work with (managers/house keepers), but it's time to move on.

I'm running into roadblocks, because 99% of the jobs I'm tying to attain (obtain?) require an online application, and my resume right now looks like poo. Before NC I was STRUGGLING! I grew up very active, always playing team sports, and absolutely love anything that gets the blood flowing, but after 20 years of competitive sports, snowboarding, etc I had multiple surgeries (ACL/MCL/meniscus x3) and osteoarthritis developed in my knee. I was reduced to a cane, able to be upright for about 10 minutes before the pain was excruciating. I bounced around from job to job for a bit trying, and failing, a handful of different things. I have a lot of construction (painting, electrical, carpentry, tile work) and customer service experience (server, DSP, barista, CSR, and many more!), so when the knee fell apart I had to switch careers. Obtained a Google IT Support Pro certification in 2021 and would love to build a career around that but I don't have much experience. I was contracted through Infosys as a Service Continuity Specialist for Dish Network for a bit, but the pay was awful and in CO $15/hour won't get you very far. For a couple years I worked as an Online Advertising Specialist for the third largest newspaper company at the time. All of those annoying pop-up ads back in 2008? Yep, those were me. Every single ad that came through our 100 newspaper websites came through my group. After only 6 months I was given the responsibility of training the new employees, and after one year I was asked to assist the VP of Sales with setting up national advertising campaigns. I desire responsibility and strive for excellence. Cliche, sure, but true. I struggled with addiction for many years, and that's exactly how I threw away that opportunity, but I am so happy and proud to say that I haven't had alcohol in over 5 years (smoked copious amounts of MJ but now completely sober). I had my knee replaced a year ago and I am finally back to about full strength, so I can handle more physical jobs but I'd rather not, you feel? I want to use my brain! I feel so incredibly clear and focused right now, more driven than ever, and that's why this has been so frustrating. I know what I can, and will bring, to any opportunity. I come from a generation that worked hard because it feels good and it's the right thing to do, but I'm also intelligent and understand people. No children, no relationship, no commitment of any sort that would hold me back from being able to commit 100%. I know my resume doesn't look great, so to the person that doesn't settle for the "safe" choice, I promise to you that I will bring an enthusiasm often unparalleled in today's society, driven to succeed both personally and professionally. Hire me and everyone wins! I thought I'd try something here before I waste another few hours filling out online applications. If you know of anything that might be a fit please let me know. The pay is NOT the most important thing, and I can handle working for less to start if I know that with hard work and determination I can grow with the company, and I know the company has my back (this is actually really important to me now which makes things more challenging).

I really like it here, and want to call Asheville "home" for many years. I am adding all these wonderful things back into my life (cycling, hiking, yoga, sober groups, etc), and a job to feel good about is the last thing to complete the circle. I've thought about real estate, selling insurance, but could really use some advice or suggestions. Want to teach me something? I'm a certified personal trainer/group fitness instructor, so if you can help advance my current understanding of I'll help you create a healthier, happier life for yourself. Trying to think outside the box here, as I am at a point where I am ready to dive in head first and take on the world! Alright, here goes nothing. Hopefully this goes well, b/c it wouldn't surprise me if the owners read this and fired me on the spot knowing they'd make everyone's lives so much more difficult. Fingers crossed! Thanks everyone!

I'm crushed I cannot attend this event. If anyone is interested, I'll sell the ticket for a discount of %10.

Sheryl Crow, Amy Grant & David Brooks will be performing and/or speaking.

The event is called "No Small Endeavor," Sunday, Nov. 24th, 7:30, at Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

If interested, please respond via this thread or to erich.reinhard@gmail.com.

These don't work with my bike so I wanted to see if anyone local is looking for some fenders before I deal with the return process. They're brand new so I'm looking to get the $21 I paid (less shipping). These are the City Size (48 mm wide).

How the hell are people affording to visit the biltmore? I was looking at maybe getting a season pass but a guest can’t even see the biltmore grounds as a guest? Was really wanting to see the Christmas display this year but almost 800 bucks for 4 people is insane

Hi! I am looking to buy some fancy D&D dice (either a set or just a single D20). Does anyone sell anything like this locally? I checked one of the gameshops today and they only have acrylic sets. I would really love to get something nicer like metal, wood, gemstone.... let me know if anyone has any ideas! Needed within the week, and nothing from Etsy can ship in time. I also really don't have time to scour any of the open shops downtown, but I could make a stop in to one if I knew where to go!

Thanks a bunch!!!

Handrails, gates, custom work repairs or new projects References Mobile if needed can do anything. Email me. juicyjcoils@gmail.com

Please message if interested.

I have a colony of Madagascar hissing cockroaches with 9 females and 2 males. They are starting to breed, and I want to give away the nymphs. Whether anyone wants to keep them as pets, or as feeder insects for other pets, it’s all the same to me, so let me know if anyone’s interested.

I'm looking for roommate in a house near downtown starting Nov 1st. It is close to West Asheville and UNCA as well. Rent is $500/month and bills are ~ $150/month each on average. $500 security deposit.

I'm a middle-aged male, very clean and quiet, and will be the only other occupant. The bedroom for rent has its own bathroom with a shower. There is a washer and dryer but there is not any central air conditioning. Some folks who have rented the room have put in a window unit, others have not. The kitchen has lots of room. The neighbors are all very chill. Overall the house is really nice for the price minus a few quirks, and in a great spot. Sorry, no pets, or tobacco. Otherwise I'm a typical open-minded Ashevillain.

Hello! 👋🏼

I live in Fletcher and have logs for milling. Hardwoods, mostly white oak. Looking to mill into anything useful. I have room on-site for the mill and equipment. Ready to pay a deposit and get on a list. Thanks!

My wife and I bought tickets to SoDown at the Asheville Music Hall on November 9th months ago. Since Asheville is still recovering, we don't want to take up resources from locals at this time by visiting. From what I understand, the concert is still on. We'd love to give the tickets away to some local residents in need of an evening of distraction. Comment with your favorite thing about living in Asheville and I'll send the tickets to the best response. Wishing y'all a speedy recovery and can't wait to come party when you're back on your feet!

Check to see if they have at&t fiber at your address with the link below and sign up there if you like.

Sincerely,

A Likeable Fellow

Hi!! I have two (maybe three) FREE tickets to Mildlife ("Melbourne-based, Australian psychedelic jazz fusion group") concert tonight at Grey Eagle. Any takers? I can send.

Looking for anyone interested in taking over my lease for a 1B/1B 860 sqft, next to the baseball stadium. Rent is $1860/mo, plus water (lol), until July 2, 2025.

It has a large updated kitchen with a glass-top stove, a balcony with a storage closet, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a shower with a tub. It currently has running water, but obviously has the boil water notice. The dishwasher has a sanitization setting.

The property is Retreat at Hunt Hill. They've been super awesome, and their response to Helene was really great. They provided nonpotable water for flushing and port-a-potties throughout the property. The property has ample parking, a pool, and a workout room.

You would need to apply through the property, pass background and credit checks, and qualify income-wise. They also require renters insurance. Please DM me with serious inquiries.
