If she’s your wife why does she need social services?
Sorry I don’t live in CO but perhaps she could sign up at a Temp Agency until she finds something. Good luck and please welcome her for us.
I don’t want to be dense but I am confused by the post.
Is she your wife? and if so why does she need government help?
If she is someone else wife again why does she need government help?
If she is just looking for a job go to any temp agency to get her foot in the door or monster.com or any online job search engine.
I was unsure if it is your wife getting to old or you mom.
If your wife is an immigrant, why is she signing up for social services ???
Probably not the best job, but most call centers would love to have someone who can speak Chinese. It is better than a restaurant! As long as she is legally here and to be hired I would think that companies would fall over themselves to hire her. Good luck!
Ni hao Brad! Glad to hear your wife and son made it safely to the US...:)
I’d recommend she polish up her resume a bit and approach law firms as well as the DA’s office. Both could use translator skills, as well as a sharp mind like she has!
You could also contact Jessica - she might have some ideas. Her friend Grace is living in New York, but has gainful employment.
Rest,
Brad’s a great FReeper, and he’s doing the right thing helping his wife (yes, WIFE) LEGALLY immigrate to the US. He’s asking for his community to help, and she wants to work. This isn’t someone bouncing to the US to “suck on the bennies” - they’re solid folk looking to do what it takes to succeed. Cut him some slack...
I’ve seen several jobs under “legal” help wanted (not in the Colorado area, though) listed on Craig’s List requesting/requiring someone who speaks Chinese/English.
Please give her our warmest welcome to the U.S.
Bump. Best of luck to a new American.
It there is a university of college nearby they might be able to use her skills.
