I chose to address the topic of homelessness in my art, specifically the stigmas that surround homelessness. There is a misconception that people who are not homeless often express that it should be easy to get off the streets if you “just get a job”. In my art piece I address the problems with this statement, and the setbacks that prevent homeless people from being able to get a job and to move off the streets. I started with a drawing of a person reaching for a stable house, but they encounter many obstacles in their way like; drug addiction, lack of clean clothes, lack of money to buy clean clothes, lack of food, lack of water, and lack of access to education. These are just a few of the many challenges homeless people face when trying to get a job, and many people don’t realize how hard it is to actually acquire a stable job that provides an individual with enough money to buy a house. The top part of my drawing depicts a stable home with a family, a consistent income, food, a bed, and a laptop. These images all represent what the individual in my drawing desires, each one is a symbol for success and stability. This art piece is meant to bring awareness to the hardships of being homeless, and to alleviate the unjust blame that the system puts on homeless people.

You’re addressing the challenges of homelessness is incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. The obstacles faced by homeless individuals—like lack of resources, education, and opportunities—make it difficult to achieve stability, let alone secure a job. If society were more aware of these systemic barriers, perhaps there would be more support for creating solutions. One way individuals can help is by promoting inclusive job opportunities, such as those listed at Quality Contracts where contract jobs across various sectors provide a chance for diverse individuals to gain employment and financial stability. Your art brings important awareness to these challenges, pushing for a more empathetic and informed approach to addressing homelessness.

And remember that employers care about results, not processes. Describe what you did, what you did, what you implemented and carried out at your previous job. If you don’t know where to start writing your resume, I recommend using Got Resume Builder. Writing a resume is the first and key step in finding a job. Your resume doesn’t just list your skills and experience, it also reflects your professional image.

The advice to “just get a job” may seem simple, but for many, it’s not always that straightforward. Economic conditions, lack of opportunities, personal responsibilities, or even mental health struggles can create real barriers. While getting a job can be a step toward stability, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution—it depends on individual circumstances, access to support, and sometimes just the right timing.
Also, finding the right job that aligns with your passion—like working in fashion or retail—might just be possible through opportunities at places like the Corteiz Store . Who knows? The right chance could be just around the corner.
