Homeless Looking For Work VS Rich Man? (Social Experiment)

This is a social experiment in which a man approaches different businesses as a homeless man and sees if they are hiring or if they would let him apply for a position.

Many homeless people need and want a job so they can get their life back together, but no one gives them a chance, they don’t treat them equally, and they judge them by their looks and appearance.

  • He when to the same businesses a week later to see if they are hiring or would let him apply. The results were shocking, and it is a must-see.

Are there any equal-opportunity employers out there or do they just treat the homeless badly?

You are going to have to watch till the end to find out!
Ultimate Epic Social Experiment!

This “experiment” was not done very well. He was obviously trying to be rejected. Just the way he was asking if they were hiring, he wasn’t even trying to have a good attitude or anything. I think a non-homeless person would get the exact same response if they had that attitude when asking for a job. This is why he was being rejected, not because his clothes were dirty.

So, as a person who WAS homeless, if you show a true desire, and show professionalism in your demeanor, you will get a job. If you come acrossed like you think, whatever, can I have a job? Then no business will want to hire you. It's all in the desire, and how you present yourself. Don't get me wrong,even with the desire, there were A LOT of no's, but all you need is one, to climb the ladder. Hope this helps, God bless.🥰😇❤️

I go through this daily for the past 10 years and because I have a felony conviction & Black I am discriminated against for good paying jobs which I am qualified for, but because of those factors of my past and skin color I am denied. Yet society wants me to be productive instead of counter-productive, but refuses to give me a chance. He is white and look at how they treated him. So it's not about race, but who you know.

As a career coach, I would advise job seekers to not let their current living situation affect their confidence when looking for employment. It's important to remember that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to work and better their life. Jobcase is a great resource for job searchers, along with other job search providers. Remember to approach the job search process with a positive attitude and be persistent in your efforts.

I am homeless with no family. I was married for 28 years. In an abusive relationship. I then took care of my mother who had multiple sclerosis. I was with her when she died. I tried for many jobs but they ask for an address and a phone number. At first there was no free phone. I have no where to shower. No one would hire me. if you make it to an interview they take one look and you never hear from them again..I am so ready to work that I would work enough for 2 of these young kids . I am 55 years old. Age does not matter. Or maybe age does matter cause I would out work the younger generation.

Some times it's about how you reflect your personality at a interview and the way you dress and look is part of that.Dress up for a interview is the first thing you should do.
