Summary

Consider the following:

  • Dependable transportation.
  • Dependable child care.

An important factor in your work success is being reliable. This means getting there on time, every day. You’re going to have to think about how you will get to work. Planning ahead will help you avoid a lot of stress. Transportation and child care will be ongoing issues.

Make sure you have trusty transportation. If you drive, make sure your car has plenty of gas and is well maintained. If you don’t drive, learn the bus schedules and have the right change. If busses don’t run in your town, you may have to walk, ride a bicycle, or get a ride from a friend or relative. Have a back-up plan in case your car doesn’t start or if you miss your bus.

If you have children, you need to find dependable child care. You may be lucky and have a relative or neighbor you trust who can watch your child. If not, you will have to find a good day care or babysitter. If you are on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or on a welfare-to-work program, your caseworker may be able to help you to find child care.
