-have everything you need, including check, when you see an apt. Be prepared to put in app on the spot.
-if you have friends/ friends of friends in the area, see if they are leaving. They can tell landlord they’re leaving but have potential interested tenants. (Has worked for two friends, neither payed broker fee, but also had super nice landlords who weren’t out to make as much $$ as possible)
-good realtor w/ experience in Southie
-look in a different neighborhood

Think of every interaction like a job interview. Landlords want respectful upstanding citizens. I’m a landlord and amazed how many people don’t get that.

Also looking, but in south end. What are the good websites people use to scan for apartments online? Main one I like is bostonpads.com

I used to be all over Zillow and sort by recently added. If you’re looking for a 9/1 move in tho won’t hurt to contact a realtor in the south end. They’ll have listings before it hits market. Most places ask tenants to renew 60-90 days before, so 9/1 move in you’d see most inventory come up in June

Submit your resume to the landlord haha. Honestly though, nothing declares “I am reliable and will always have money to pay” like a white collar resume.

Posted this awhile back, but no responses (it may have gotten lost in the shuffle). For those of you who decided to leave the firm at the end of your maternity leave, how did you handle the process? Did you give notice just before you returned? On your first day back? (Dealing with Covid-related child care issues - not starting a new job in the short-term.) TIA! Appreciate this group’s shared wisdom.

I work as an Engineer in Post Production and do quite a bit of coding (my favorite part of what I do). I’m curious, are there others out there that code daily in this industry? If so, how do you leverage that skill in your position? What languages do you primarily work with? Are you self taught, get a certificate, learn from a Boot Camp, or from college? Would love to hear your stories and backgrounds.

How should I list software skills on my resume that I have familiarity with but aren’t highly skilled in? For example, used R in one class, but wouldn’t say I’m an expert. Or used Salesforce for an internship- but just to edit lead sources for new logos? Have heard to put “novice” next to these skills? How should I format that?

Anyone has experience negotiating a medical bill with MGH. I got some blood work done and was sent a bill of 1800. The bill was 2700 but negotiated rate with my insurance is 1800. I got the exact same blood work done in NC 2 years back and it cost me <200. My insurance said i should have gone to labcorp. I am new to Boston and didn't know this. MGH says prices are higher as we are a teaching hospital. It's just open loot and does not make sense. Anyone dealt with a similar situation.
