Question Is there anywhere to get aVehicle Inspection while you wait?

• Upvotes

I lived in Northern VA for years and there were vehicle inspections available literally everywhere in various gas stations and mechanic shops. I'm in Blacksburg now and they all require an all day situation, most here are backed up for a few weeks even. My dog is recovering (hopefully) from an injury and I can't really leave him alone all day so I was wondering if Roanoke or anywhere around there had stations like they have up in NOVA?

Struggling to find a good paying job

34 Upvotes

Hello,

Throwaway account as my employer frequents this. I am struggling to find a good paying job ($22 an hour or salary $55K at minimum). I moved from California to back here years ago and have been struggling. I moved back for family reasons. In California, I was making around $70K in salary and now I’ve been reduced down to $18 an hour.

I have a bachelor’s degree from Radford in communications from 2022 and it seems like everywhere I apply thinks I’m overqualified. I don’t think I’m asking for much with the above minimum but I’m completely stumped and don’t know what to do.

For family reasons, I cannot pick up and move back to California. My mom is very ill and will likely pass away in the next 3 years.

Can anyone point me in the direction? Looking for coordinator roles or social media marketing . I’m also open to Project management roles. Are there any positions paying at least $22 an hour or a salary of 55K?

Moving to Roanoke Best Areas to Live

8 Upvotes

My daughter is looking to attend Virginia Western Community College next fall. We live about an hour and 20 minutes from Roanoke and she is considering living in the area while in school. There is not another school closer that offers her program.

What areas should she avoid? Preferably looking for an apartment just due to not wanting to do lawn care

We are also open to closer but commutable locations. Rocky Mount, Boones Mill?

What suggestions do yall have?

I know our best buy is participating in the midnight release, but I'm not sure if the store stays open til then or reopens. Either way, fellow Zelda lovers, I assume it will be big. It would be cool to make an event of it, have a party for the line or a party in general! Meet people, make friends, share in the love of a franchise many of us have loved for decades ✨️

so ive been unemployed for almost 6 months now due to being let go from a job. I've endlessly applied to many places. I've even tried temp agencies. I've called around and everything.

is there anyone actively wanting to help someone get hired on? i can pass a drug test and background check.

the only issues i have, is that i don't have a car so i was hoping maybe to carpool / ride with someone.

Service?

Roanoke area Mini Cooper peeps, where you going for scheduled maintenance and/or engine work? I don't mean oil changes, I mean scheduled maintenance stuff still under warranty. I called BMW on Peters Creek, they only do oil changes on Minis, nothing else. Closest Mini Dealership is in Winston Salem NC. Anyone have any Minicentric recommendations for service, even if I'm paying for work still under warranty?
