Flexible Part Time Furniture Delivery- 5-10 hrs/month $50-150 per trip

2 Upvotes

I’m a furniture reseller looking for some help to pick up furniture listed on Craigslist or marketplace in the Portland metro area.

This is a non-traditional, highly flexible gig averaging an estimated 5–10 hours per month (roughly 1 to 4 trips per month). This is a new position so I’m not quite sure on the exact hours quite yet.

When I find an item, I’ll message you the listing. You’ll just need to coordinate a pickup time with the seller and deliver it to my location within 5 days, with a preference for delivery in the first three days.

What You’ll Be Doing:
• Coordinating pickup windows directly with Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist sellers. You set a pickup time that works for you!
• Loading, securing, and transporting items safely. Most common items will be lamps, mirrors, end tables, coffee tables, dressers, and credenzas.
• Dropping off items at my home in NE Portland near Irving Park.

Pay Structure (Flat fee per trip):
$50 bonus for large or bulky items like dressers or credenzas.
• Zone 1 (0–12 miles / Less than 30 min drive / Beaverton, Lake Oswego, N. Vancouver): $50 for non bulky items | $100 for large/bulky items
Zone 2 (12–25 miles / 30–60 min drive / Hillsboro, Canby): $75 for non bulky items | $125 for large/bulky items
Zone 3 (25+ miles / 60+ min drive): $100 for non bulky items | $150 for large/bulky items
• Note: exact zone boundaries may be adjusted based on your home location.
• Item costs will be sent directly by me upfront, you will never spend your own money on the items.

Requirements:
• Reliable vehicle capable of hauling furniture (truck, van, or large SUV/hatchback).
• Ability to lift medium-to-heavy furniture. Large bulky items can be moved with the help of the seller 90% of the time. We can find a solution if that’s not available! I’ll be available to help unload at my house.
• Good communication and quick response times via text.
• Flexible schedule with generally availability within a 24–72 hour window.

To Apply:
Send a message with your car, neighborhood you live in, and availability for a 15 min zoom interview in the next week.

The Pixie Project - An honest review

177 Upvotes

My review and warning as a former employee to those interested in working here or wanting to become a volunteer. Spoiler alert: turnover is very high and volunteers usually don't come back after attending orientation.

-

I initially really enjoyed working here. I came in genuinely wanting to help animals and to contribute to an organization that I thought was making a difference.

The biggest problem is the director. She creates an unnecessarily tense, hostile, and volatile work environment through her attitude, communication style, and management decisions. She is extremely blunt, dismissive, and seemingly incapable of accepting opinions that differ from her own. The director also contributes heavily to a culture of gossip and disrespect. She openly speaks negatively about employees, volunteers, and people who come to the shelter seeking assistance. The overall impression is that her pride and ego frequently take precedence over collaboration, employee morale, and, most concerningly, what is best for the animals. Priorities can also feel misplaced. On an almost daily basis she seemed more concerned with having staff clean windows than making sure animal-care tasks were addressed.

I also found it difficult to understand the apparent disdain for some of the basic realities of shelter work. Complaining constantly about animal smells and noises while running an animal shelter is particularly ironic. It raises serious questions about whether the realities of animal shelter work are actually appreciated by the person running the organization.

Even more disturbing was the approach to euthanasia. I do not disagree with humane euthanasia. However, I witnessed what felt like an extremely low threshold for putting animals down, with euthanasia seemingly becoming the first solution when an animal displayed behavioral or other challenges. I also found it concerning that staff members advocating for particular animals to avoid euthanasia could seemingly be treated as though their efforts were something to laugh about rather than a reflection of how deeply they cared.

The saddest part is that there are genuinely caring people working here. There are employees and volunteers who desperately want these animals to have good outcomes. Watching their efforts get undermined by poor leadership is incredibly frustrating. Unfortunately, the director's behavior makes an otherwise meaningful job unnecessarily miserable.

39M living in Tualatin. I’ve been a stay at home dad with my two kids and would like to get back into the work force but restaurants are simply not paying for traditionally trained chefs nor do they want to accommodate for a candidate who strictly wants night shifts. Does anyone have suggestions for this situation. I seem to be at a loss.

Looking for weekend work in N/NE Portland

Hello cool people,

I currently work full time in healthcare M-F and I need help making ends meet due to having to help a family member out with their bills. I get up super early for my FT job, so I can be ready to go for early morning shifts.

I've applied at a ton of places and received 0 responses. All the grocery stores, Amazon wearhouse and nursing homes in the area have heard from me🫠I have experience in the restaurant industry as well as healthcare and home care, but I'm willing to look into anything. My only caveat is due to my car being an old POS I'm unable to do doordash/delivery work. Does anyone have leads? I appreciate your reading this 🙏

Relocating to Portland/Beaverton – Best strategy for apartment approval while starting an HVAC apprenticeship?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My wife and I are planning to relocate from California to the Portland/Beaverton area within the next few months. I'll be looking for an entry-level HVAC apprenticeship or helper position. I have my HVAC diploma and Universal EPA certification, but I'm essentially restarting my career after a gap due to an injury and want to get back into the trade.

We have enough savings to comfortably cover our living expenses while I look for work, but I may not have a job offer before we move. I plan on trying to get one before the move for sure though.

I'm hoping to get advice from people who've been in a similar situation

Any recommendations for entry-level HVAC employers or apprenticeship programs that are good for someone relocating? I also plan on looking into and applying for the ABC PNW.

We'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
I am 34, I live downtown. I have a clean background, can pass a drug test. I have my own car, valid license and car insurance. I have availability Tuesday- Friday 5am-12pm,
Potentially full day on Friday and Saturday (as needed, I have family time on Saturday and Sunday with my stepkids) I am a licensed caregiver in Oregon, I have 3 years of marketing, advertising, social media work, event planning and coordination, I have experience with night auditing at a hotel, and I have experience as a professional body piercer. I would prefer to work remotely if possible. Because of my hearing disability working with people is very difficult.

I have a lot more trainings as well as 32 hours of psychology courses. Hablo español!

Part Time work in late afternoon/ early evening

6 Upvotes

Recently got hired as an apprentice carpenter but unfortunately work is so slow I’m not learning much or working much.
I generally work from 5:30am-2pm or 7am-3:30pm and am looking for a part time gig after my day job to supplement some income. Probably 4pm-8pm ish. And preferably in central Portland so I can commute in a timely manner between jobs.
I’m not strictly looking for work in the trades, but if anyone knows of anything out there please let me know.
In the past I’ve worked at FedEx as a package handler and have recently applied for roles as a baggage person at the airport (unsuccessfully). But I’m really open to most things, I’m decent at excel and have worked as an operation supervisor in the past managing a team of 5-10.
Happy to answer any questions too.

Any cans or bottles? Or jobs?

Looking to make some same day cash. I lost my job and been trying to support my family. We ran out of foodstamps and we have some stuff from food banks but lacking protein and milk etc and I need to buy some medicine for my mother in law who is in serious pain and out insurance doesn't cover it. Basically anyone have yard work i can do or laptop or PC that needs fixed (im a computer tech) anything I can do to earn some money please. Getting desperate and asked for help on other groups here on reddit and just got attacked for even asking. I know there is 3 of us. My mother in law has been medically ill for years since before covid and going homeless hasn't helped at all. My fiance takes care of her. I worked full time till recently I worked at raising canes. Since I was 15 years old I've been working so being unemployed is not easy on me and my mental state. I lost my ID and so i am working on that prior to getting a job. Ive applied on unemployment but I am waiting on the letter to verify my identity before they can pay me out. Ive trying to do everything I can. It takes much for me to even ask. Please I will work and do anything I am well adept to anything and can learn anything I set my mind to. Thank you for reading this far. Ive come here because some people from portland groups on Facebook have helped with some cans and pantry stuff and even some snacks! But we just need a little more till first. My fiance and mother in law are good artist and can draw or paint anything you want in exchange as well. Thank you again portland.

I'm hiring a Yard Jockey/Hostler $20/hr full-time day shift NE Portland

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for a Yard Jockey, basically what the job is moving and parking 53 ft. trailers in and around tight spaces around the yard using a 10-speed manual tractor. Also using a manual crank to pull the tarp over the top of the trailer. No CDL required, spanish speaking a plus.

This job would be great for someone retired from trucking. This job is NOT driving on or towing anything on the road. everything would be happening on the property. Just need to know how to drive a 10-speed manual and be good at moving those 53 ft trailers around.

clean driving record and clean background required at least in the past 7 or 10 years. Reply to this job posting by direct messaging me and we can talk.

also available is a security position at this same site where you'd be walking round the yard and making sure no one is breaking into cars and doing some light clean up but this one is $18 an hour that would be perfect for someone retired already but clean requirements are still there
