Here are some tips if you are seeking assistance with housing:
-
Keep a Record: Maintain a notebook or digital log with the names, titles, and locations of the people you speak with. This makes it easier to follow up and keep track of who provided what information.
-
Ask About Timelines: When making inquiries, ask how long it typically takes to receive a response so you can plan accordingly.
-
Be Proactive: Always ask if there are additional resources or contacts available. Showing initiative can open up more opportunities.
-
