Not GP, but the biggest barrier to work I had was not having a regular place to shower or keep clean clothes.
For some strange reason, employers don't like it if you're unbathed and in dirty clothes. I was never able to figure out why. Perhaps you could opine on that?
- gunshai 5y agoSarcasm aside, I do remember reading and talking to formally homeless folks saying that they would commonly have gym memberships for this very reason. Second to that at least in the city I live in, many barbershops and dry cleaners offer free service to homeless who are going to be interviewed.
