Independent contractor or freelancer.

Sucks man.
Sorry you're having such a tough time with this BS.

god i envy u. just got embarrassed applying for an apartment and the manager thought i was a complete joke when I explained mturk to him.

I hope you find a place soon. This is ridiculous :thumbdown:

 

[thedorchannel]

Maybe less is more. Just give out a vague title next time. You're a "consultant"?

said that as well. I mentioned "independent contractor for amazon" (mturk) website consultant (usertesting) and customer service rep (winn-dixie)

and I honestly think all three made him want to barf.

 

[thedorchannel]

Awww . Yes, easiest answer is "I'm self-employed and I'm happy to furnish bank statements or tax records in lieu of a W-2 or paystub."

told him that as well.

 

[thedorchannel]

Independent contractor dealing in administrative services. It sounds so dull, no one will bother inquiring further into it beyond say, earnings.

lol oh yes they will. To be honest, his biggest concern was the fact that I was working from home. (and I didn't bring up the "from home" thing. he did straight out asked me if it was from home)

 

[Jaded]

told him that as well.

Some people are set on thinking that independent contractor/self-employed (in anything that's not 'legit')/freelancer means "Can't hold a job because they suck."

Probably can't convince him otherwise.

All that's why I'm just saving up for a hefty deposit on a small cheap house :thumbup:
tired of paying rent to people too

Well all the 'from home' things like LuLaRoe etc probably made him .... shit I can't think of a word besides jaded.

 

[Kathryn]

told him that as well.

He sucks.

How's your credit score? I printed out my score from creditkarma --even tho not "official" --and presented that with application materials as a "take me seriously I am a real person" proof.

I really can't hold a job b/c I suck...
but I'm kind of an exception.

don't worry about me though, its not an emergency situation. I just can't stand being 31 and living with my parents.

It could be some kind of legal thing there. I know in some cities (the one I used to live in), you have to buy a permit from the city to be able to work at home. So he could be concerned about some kind of legal situation with working at home. Or he might have thought that you working at home meant clients coming and going from your place, which might have turned him off.

thats possible... but something tells me he was thinking what @Jaded said. In his mind if you work from home then you're probably not too reliable.
