I was homeless too, a rough sleeper throughout the UK for 3 winters. This was a long time ago, and I've been an engineer and now am a manager. I may not have a role (in London) that is shaped for you but I'm happy to look at your CV, see what roles we have that may fit you, and advise on what people look for in a CV.
My email is in my profile.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoAlso previously homeless, and got a job in software development through luck and good networks. I don't have anything at the moment, but wish you luck. It is possible, keep trying, don't give up.
- jackm2019 7y agoThank you. I'm happy to know things turned out well for someone who shared a similar experience. I have emailed you.
- chaostheory 7y agoI was also homeless a while back, but I was able to pick myself back up due to the existing support systems for the homeless, both public and private in the US. I eventually landed a job as a developer by the numbers ie I sent out tons of tailored CV’s and cover letters to virtually every job listing. Unlike you, I didn’t even have a degree back then. Just keep trying Jack. Luck favors the bold and persistent. Having a portfolio of projects also helps a lot
