Hi, I’m kind of new to this but I had a very simple request. I’m looking to applying for US jobs. I’ve applied to the US CPA program.

I’m ideally looking for jobs in finance or consulting or project management. I’m a Canadian citizen by birth. I have about 6-7 years of experience in accounting, financial analysis, and business analysis but it’s all Canadian experience.

So in building my resume should I indicate on the summary at the top that I require a TN status and looking to relocate permanently? Or just leave it off completely and mention it during an interview?

When referencing my Canadian work experience should I mention the location? Or just say “Toronto” only.

I’ve seen other threads that say get a US number and put it on your resume instead of using your Canadian number. Wondering if I should do that.

Thank you so much

I’m 21 years old and feel like I’m a failure in life. I graduated last year with an associate degree of business but been applying since last summer and all I get is rejection emails left and right. I tried networking on LinkedIn, dming recruiters and joining groups but some ignored me and blocked me for simply asking for help. It’s been over 500+ jobs I’ve even applied to retail stores/warehouse like Walmart, Home Depot, ups, and FedEx but all of them rejected me.. I GIVE UP IDK WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. Is there a way someone could refer me to a company? I stay around the tomball/houston area. Let me know please 🙏🏾

Recently, my only interview opportunity was from Meta and it turned out to be a profound lesson.

The interview process was very thorough and looked at extremely complex technical points. On my resume, I mentioned that I was able to operate a CI/CD, and the interviewer saw this and kept digging deeper, which indicated that their company took CI/CD very seriously and would be utilizing it in the real world. Perhaps it was because I mentioned CI/CD in my resume that I was able to pass the ATS screening.

However, I encountered a setback during the interview process. At the beginning, the communication was quite smooth, and I even felt that the offer was already beckoning to me. But immediately afterward, the interviewer suddenly threw out a question that hit the nail on the head, “How is CI/CD built?” This question instantly rendered me speechless, and I stammered for half a day without being able to give an answer. In the end, I could only honestly admit that I could only use it, but not build it. As soon as the words left my mouth, the offer that seemed to have arrived flew away.

After the interview, my classmates said that I had met a difficult interviewer. As for the first interview, I don't know ...... It's so hard to find a job these days. Are there any new graduates like me who haven't found a job yet?

I'm a Chartered Accountants (India) currently with a decent job as per market standards. I want to start freelancing and using my accounting, auditing, taxation experience in helping customers primarily in North America/ Europe. I have no idea how to start reaching out. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I have a business degree with a focus in HR. I have worked in the business/finance industry as well as the HR/operations for many organizations. I have been able to only find contract roles that end the contract early or do not bring me on full-time. I have been interviewing for the past few weeks after my last role ended and it has not been the best (I know everyone can relate).

I had a phone interview today for a payroll role paying $20 an hour (I have experience in payroll/HR), and the recruiter said to me, "If I can be honest, you won't be happy in this role, and it will take a very long time to get a raise at this company." I appreciate the honesty, but I am not looking to be happy. I would not applied if that were the case. I am aware of the pay. Having a job is better than having no job. It's not rocket science. I am under 30 and have been working in corporate America since I was 19 and I am so over it. Being overqualified or underqualified, no onboarding, and now companies would instead hire people for contract roles instead of permanent ones. Many people i know have been hired and fired again within a year or so. I know it's the market but geez!

I am considering switching to anything in healthcare. CNA, Medical assistant, and behavioral technician for now. I want to consider giving that a try because I know a lot of people in the healthcare field, and honestly, they have rarely ever been out of work and can often find a job quickly. They usually are even working 2-3 jobs for more money. I never hear them being told you are overqualified or wouldn't be happy in this role. The companies have a need and simply hire for that. I know healthcare is not accessible, and it can be hard on the body, but at least they are not capped at working overtime. I know so many people being underpaid in corporate America and having to work a second job anyway. SO CHOOSE YOUR HARD.

I really needed to rant about this, and please excuse my terrible sentence structure and grammar (don't be. a grammar nazi. Can I say that? Haha, jk). But yeah, anyone in these fields, feel free to weigh in! Because I feel like hospitals always need people to work in any capacity.

I currently live in Eastern Europe and don't see myself going back to US anytime soon. I am in need of work and have been applying like crazy. My idea was to create a teaching business here but that feel through. I have a law degree and masters in teaching as well as an Econ degree. The truth is, I need to find a job within a year max. I have been applying to various remote jobs to be immediately denied. I think the problem is I don't know what I'm qualified for.

My last job in the U.S. was in community development work for a Native American tribe. My wife and I did tutoring and helped start a business Coop for a village on the Olympic peninsula. We were unpaid for this and it wasn't something I could go back to.

I am here humbly asking for any ideas and/or advice.

An opening for a position in my field came up with a company whose values I really align with. This would pretty much be a dream job for me right now.

I had three interviews, my final one being last Wednesday. All interviews went amazing, I had great chemistry with everyone I spoke with and seemingly said the right things based on how they responded.

But it’s been a week and I still have not heard back. What is the professional protocol for this? Can I reach out? Am I just being impatient? I don’t remember ever having to wait this long to hear back for previous jobs.

So, what's NOT working? For me, applying for jobs that I'm not quite qualified for is definitely not working. Spending more time on the jobs that I'm really qualified for... Creating tailored resumes/ cover letters, customized Github projects and harassing HR. It's helping a little. But I've only gotten 3 interviews out of 130 applications.
How about you guys?

I've been offered a job, within my field of work...kinda. However, I'm not sure it's worth it.

Pros: within my career field, rewarding work, good experience

Cons: winter road conditions, low pay, distance, paid monthly

For background, I'm studying for my AA in Social Work with a focus on children/families. The job is a paraprofessional job at an elementary school working with differently abled students.

It pays 13.75/hr with a 75 cent raise after obtaining a certification.

It's approx 35min away from where I currently live with my parents with roads that do not receive a lot of attention in the winter (I'm in the midwest).

I have the opportunity to move closer if I find section 8 housing in the same town, which I'm looking into at the moment. But until then I will still have to commute.

At the moment I have approx $150-$250 worth of bills every month since I live with my parents. I also have food stamps. I also receive $607/mo in child support. I should also receive an extra $252 in child support but regularly do not.

Would you take this job in my situation?

PS the schools in my town do not have any paraprofessional jobs open at this time

Been getting mixed replies by everyone I’ve asked so I’m asking here. Basically I applied for a job on an online job board and got a call from the company saying that if I was still interested, apply directly to their website and expect a call back from the hiring manager to schedule an interview. Now been a week since I’ve reapplied and was advised to give them a call but have also gotten the advice to not call cuz it’s become a lot less common to do so.

I also have an interview with another company on Friday. Unfortunately it pays a little bit less and I would get less hours but I also need the job. Im going through with the interview regardless obviously but would like to hear back soon on job #1

Getting back to Reddit just for this lol

Im the youngest of three and my family isn't doing the best financially right now, i want to get a job or do some sort of service people would pay for so i can help my parents with the expenses. My siblings have jobs and study on different colleges, but my brother can't fully sustain himself with his salary. My dad works while my mom stays at home, but she also does her own things to try to sell. I want to help my parents pay our expenses but i have no idea where and how to begin, specially considering i never had a job. My mom said she would help me look for places i can apply to work at next year, but i'd still like to be able to do something right now.

Some (probably) important info: -i live in Latin America, so i things may be a little different than other countries -im autistic, and im certain i'd struggle with jobs that require way too much social interaction, but im willing to deal with it -i know how to draw and have some manual skills that may be useful (I've tried selling my own art around social media, but it didn't work, so i can't rely on that) and as you have seen, i know english so that also might be useful in some places

If there is anyone who knows things i can do to help my family or get a job, please let me know, i don't want to see my parents struggling (Also sorry if there are any spelling mistakes)

Sigh.. I was rejected… again. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I know it’s a bad market, but I don’t think anyone is met for this much rejection. Deloitte was the perfect entry level role for me and I really thought was going to get the offer. I’m really gutted by this and don’t know what to do at this point. I’m in UX by the way.

Hey folks! I built something that might help me or you with job hunt - but before you roll your eyes at another AI tool, let me explain why I made this.

I noticed that I (and pretty much everyone I talked to) struggle with the same problems: tailoring CVs and motivation letters for each application, and never being quite sure if they're hitting the mark. I kept seeing friends with amazing skills get rejected because their CVs weren't highlighting the right experiences for specific roles.

That's why I built RIZILA. It's not just another CV builder - it's more like having a career coach who actually understands both your background AND the job you're applying for. It analyzes your CV against job postings and tells you exactly what to emphasize or rework. Plus, it helps you craft killer motivation letters that actually connect your experience to what the company is looking for.

The coolest feature? It generates tailored interview questions based on your CV and the job posting, so you can practice the exact kind of questions you're likely to face. We've had users tell us they felt way more confident in interviews after using this.

I've put a lot of work into making sure it's genuinely useful and not just another AI gimmick. Would love to get your thoughts on it. I can share some free points if you want to try it out and give honest feedback about what works and what doesn't.

What do you think? Would this kind of tool be useful in your job search?

hello everyone! i am a business graduate who double majored in entrepreneurship and finance with the hopes of going into M&A consulting. i had an internship at a mid-tier firm, got a return offer. was delayed several times, ultimately until march 2024 (i took a heavy load my last fall semester so i could graduate early and have a gap before working, lol - graduated in dec 2022). i was applying on and off but still had a lot of hope in that role that was ultimately rescinded due to business constraints.

since then, i’ve been applying and have gotten interviews thrice, maybe. i’ve been applying and trying to network, but have been ghosted and really don’t know where to go next. does anyone know of any job placement agencies for corporate development / m&a / finance roles in the midwest? i’ve exhausted all of my connections via college and my prior internships, and they’ve all tried to help, but unfortunately nothing’s budging in this market. with my gap increasing, i’m feeling more and more unemployable. any advice would be most appreciated!

Should I consider going back to school to look for employment? I already have a Bachelors but it hasn't helped with leads. I'm been considering going to barbering school and going that route.

Or what are some temp agencies around the north Houston area?

I'm in Houston if that makes a difference.

With so many layoffs happening right now, there's nothing worse than answering this question in your next job interview when you were fired. Should you lie, tell the truth and hurt your chances? Can they tell if you lie? All of these questions run through the mind of job seekers, who are unsure how to approach the situation.

There are ways to answer these questions without jeopardizing your reputation or lying, like saying, "The role evolved in a direction that didn't fit my expertise," and many other answers depending on your situation. You can check out these 7 answers that you can use to phrase your answer in a more flattering way without lying and learn more about this frustration situation, including whether you should lie or not, and whether they can find out you did.

Hello, so I will start by saying I have around 5 years of experience in my field and a masters. I am 27 and all things considered being unemployed for nearly a year isn't a situation I imagined being in. In a way it was a while coming - I was burnt out after a very rough time during Covid in which I ended up in an abusive relationship and unhealthy environment. I ended up with a lot of health challenges. I never received much support through all of it, then one of my parents was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I felt trapped and miserable even as I was being given everything I prayed for in terms of career and education.

As a result, I am now nearly a year unemployed and about to start working as a cashier at a store temporarily for the holidays. It's hard not to look at my peers and compare myself. It's even harder that it seems because of where I am at in life a lot of former friends don't seem to care as much about me.

However, this is the golden lining to all of it- I have been making friends and getting close to people who were genuinely proud, supportive, and excited when I got my job as a cashier. I've seen which friends truly cared about me as a person and not for my success. The ones that didn't seem like they were going to ghost me after or as if they were embarrassed for me. I also realized if I'm not strong internally I am never going to be happy in any job even if it's my dream job.

It still feels awful a lot of times. Going so long without a job, nearly ending up homeless and struggling tremendously with finances. Trying to stay healthy, safe (especially as a young woman - I almost experienced a sexual assault one night while crashing at someone's place when I ended up with no housing and was attacked another time and ended up with a concussion). A lot of my previous colleagues worked out of passion not necessity because their parents were diplomats, lawyers and doctors with money. For me being unemployed for so long has had very devestating consequences.

However, I am proud of my strength in all of this and have grown more confident in who I am becoming. I refuse to put up with abuse and get away quickly when someone hurts me. I pick myself up, I pray, and I continue doing what I can to care for myself. I am working hard to heal from my past while dealing with an unstable present due to unemployment.

Anyways, I have no idea where I'll be soon. My job isn't enough to cover bills, so I may still end up in a shelter. However, I am grateful to God to have something and I believe that the right position will come. It really takes so much resilience to keep applying full effort when dealing with the stress of finances and housing and getting your basic needs met.

To anyone dealing with that - you are not alone at all. Your struggles are valid and your career does not have to define you. This is an emotionally taxing and isolating process, and it's okay to do what you've got to do to make sure you get your bills paid and have a roof over your head. You've got this. We've got this.

My partner (28M) is looking for work. We are in the UK.

The problem is that his CV is... spotty. I think potential employers are being put off from the gaps in his employment and the short length of the jobs he has been in.

He did reasonably well in school and stayed until 18, but didn't go to university ('college' for Americans) so he has no degree.

Between the ages of 18 and 23 he had a few jobs here and there. He did some seasonal retail, a bit of overseas volunteering, some agency work, but nothing long term. The longest he has ever worked at one place is 4 months, and there are gaps of up to year between jobs. On his CV we say that he has mostly spent gaps in employment overseas or supporting his family at home.

For the past 4 or 5 years, he has been on disability benefits. He has Multiple Sclerosis and Autism and just before Covid, his advisor at the Jobs Centre put him on the Limited Capacity for Work and Related Activities component of Universal Credit. I think this was because he was being rejected from most employers due to his MS.

So he hasn't been working, although he has done some casual unpaid help at his dad's business over the last couple of years - which we've been sure to include on his CV.

He hates claiming benefits and wants to go back to work so that we can move out of his parents, buy a house, start a family, etc. He is very motivated and wants to find something long term.

But it's rough out there and he hasnt even managed to land a job interview yet. I know it is rough for everyone but we are facing the specific challenges of having a gap-ridden CV. I'm worried that employers are looking at his CV and assuming he won't stick in the job for long.

Also, he does declare his Multiple Sclerosis on the CV, which I've told him he shouldn't but he says he'd rather be up front. His MS won't make him a less capable employee although he may require some reasonable adjustments when it comes to manual handling. But I'm convinced that this is possibly getting in the way.

I'm helping him with the applications and I think the applications he's turning in are of good quality.

Does anyone have any tips for how to make an application look better when you have large gaps in your CV, have very little experience despite being in your late 20s, and have been claiming disability?

I’ve been laid off for months now and I’m feeling hopeless in finding another job. I was working as an application/server admin as part of an IT team at General Motors and was let go back in June. I’ve worked there for 2 years and it was my first job out of college. I’m starting to feel like I can’t find another job. Im not sure if anyone else is in the same situation but it’s disheartening. Is there anyone that can help with any leads or in a position to help land me an interview somewhere?

How prevalent or common are legit work from home jobs? I have never really looked into it. I have 15 years of low level accounting jobs. I have been a professional driver for the past 4 years. It was more worth it to me financially until 2024. Not worth it anymore financially to drive professionally and I'm not a fan of working 10-14 hours a day especially and having an inconsistent work schedule......... since I'm not some high level executive. I've been sending out resumes recently because I want to do better.

So are legit work form home jobs really available out there? And if so how do I find them? Thanks

My background-

I'm a married 32 female, recently moved back into Texas after being gone 3 years.

I worked at a grocery store while in high school and college, also worked some daycare jobs. Got a bachelors degree in education. Taught in public schools for 7 years. Tried some daycare gigs when we moved, I cooked for a preschool, and then worked at Sally's for most of the last year.

We've been in Texas for 6 months and I just got hired at another daycare. I've tried using my real regular resume, claiming my Bachelors degree and I've tried acting like I didn't go to college. I didn't want to take the daycare job but I just need the work. But it's already putting my mental health on edge after a week.

I have no problem with early hours, I do better with starting work early. When my shifts are in the afternoon I can't focus on the present because I'm constantly preparing and thinking about the scheduling of getting ready. So then when I get to work I'm already over it because I've been dreading for it to start already.

What do I do? I don't need a nice job. I just want to do some menial work and leave. I don't want to make friends. I need a scheduled job where things can be routine.

I (26M) live in a “retirement” community in Florida with a piss poor job market and am looking to move back to my home state (North Carolina) with some friends in the Raleigh area. Back in May, I got my BA in history. Since then, I’ve been doing freelance video editing work locally, made some money from my partnered YouTube channel, and recently started doing Spanish tutoring in my town. I have not been able to find a stable job around here since May….

Originally, I studied history with the aim of going into academia but after doing more research I noped the fuck out of that. I was already mostly done with my degree so I decided to just finish it out since I was going to graduate debt free with a bunch of savings (my dad is a disabled veteran and I got really good grades on top of being a first-generation student and a minority, so I got a shit ton of educational benefits). Right now, I’m contemplating going to grad school in a few years so I can work at a think tank since I’m a huge geopolitics/IR nerd. For right now, I just want to take a break from school and work for a few years. I’m also looking for jobs in the Triangle area where my friends live and am wondering what else I can do for work other than video editing or digital marketing.

My YouTube channel deals with the history and geopolitics of the Middle East and North Africa and I also post several times a week on my own blog that focuses on current events and issues in the Gulf states and Israel. In undergrad, I wrote an honors thesis on the evolution of antisemitism in Muslim-majority countries. Apart from that, I speak 3+ languages (English, Spanish, Russian and am learning Hebrew and want to add Arabic), am very knowledgeable about geography, and have a photographic memory. In high school and college I did competitive speech and debate. On the other side of that, I am autistic and need something that won’t overstimulate me. I also deal with bipolar disorder and anxiety. What other skills do I have and am just not noticing that I have? I don’t know, I feel like I have potential and just need to find a way to channel it properly.

I’m currently looking for job opportunities abroad, and I was wondering if anyone here might have advice, connections, or ideas on how I can achieve this goal.

If you know of any companies hiring for HR/payroll roles or have tips on how to land jobs in this field internationally, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

Hi folks! Help a single mom out. I just obtained my B.S in Management Information Systems/Business Analytics and I'm ready to get started on adding value to a company. I'm searching remote options or a Colorado destination.

Any leads or advice on data/business analytics employment? I'm looking for employment, contract work or a recruiter.

Advice is appreciated. 200 applications later, I feel like I've exhausted resume revisions, networking, researching, cover letter tailoring, profile creating, following up and undershooting.

Thank you, web-folk.

How do you actually move up from entry level to Sr level to manager etc? My problem is there's really never been opportunities at the companies I've been at but then when I try to apply to higher level positions at other companies they say I don't have experience at the higher level positions. Like how do people actually "move up"? I'm tired of being on the bottom and struggling financially. The stress it's causing in my life is creating unbearable stress.

Is a week too late to send an interview thank you letter? I was so nervous about this job and went back and forth for days about whether I should even send one. Then I finally did 6 days after the interview.

I’m 18 and looking for a job in Las Vegas, I’m having a hard time landing a good full time job, if anyone happens to know company’s or anything that’s hiring please suggest it🫡
