Hi all, I'm going to start out by saying that I'm having the same issue a lot of you are facing: finding a job. I'm a recent graduate living in North Carolina with a Bachelor's of Science in geology. I've been looking for jobs up in Connecticut for months now, majorly because my partner lives up there and I'm trying to get up there to be with him. I had to move out of my apartment in my college town because I didn't renew the lease, so I'm living in my parents' dining area of a one bedroom apartment, sleeping on an air mattress, working a remote job that I hate, and not getting any sleep.

I am very grateful to have a roof over my head and a job at all, but I also feel miserable. This situation is greatly affecting my mental health. I've been applying for as many jobs as I can every day, both within my field and out. I've started even looking back into retail (I have 6 years of retail experience), but my application is immediately being denied. I've had my resume looked at by multiple people. I've spent hours tweaking it and writing cover letters that never get looked at. I've had one interview with a company that decided to ghost me. I've been "eligible for referral" for multiple jobs with the state since May.

I have a feeling that I'm getting rejected so much because I don't live in Connecticut even though I always put that I'm trying to relocate and don't even need relocation assistance. Moving without a job lined up isn't an option either, since no apartments will approve me if I can't afford rent (my current job doesn't bring in enough to support me and the cost of living up there).

Overall, I just kind of feel stuck. I'm not going to give up, but it's so draining and overwhelming. If anybody has any advice on what I might be able to do or if you've had similar experiences, it might help me feel a little less alone. I just want to go live a normal and comfortable life with my partner and work hard.

I posted this on another Reddit but didn't get much advice. So posting here

Hi everyone! I will try to make it brief. But yes, I can’t find a job for almost 14 months at this point. I am not from the US and moved here in 2021 to be with my partner (my home country was not an option), got my work permit almost at the end of 2022 (so already a gap in the resume). While searching for a job, I did have breaks in between (took some classes and had a big family emergency when I was out of the country). I thought the classes I took (real estate) would help me to get a property management assistant position, but no. Also while waiting for the permit, I took many marketing and social media classes, volunteered, got to know the city and the local programs, etc. I have almost 10y of experience in customer support and retail, and a few years of administration and social media. Just before covid, I came back to my home country from the US, and had to take a retail job because I was told the new visa will take 6 months, it took over a year. And despite the fact that I made good money and loved that job, it feels like it was a stain on my resume.

My whole life I worked hard and studied, upgraded my skills. I was told if I work hard, there will be opportunities for me. And I did exactly that, would study and work 2 jobs and take on extra projects. I never had to deal with such long job search. I apply for basic entry level job (part-time). I used to apply to retail (and I really don’t want to go back), social media, and property management assistant - nothing. I had in total probably 10 interviews and 2 of them were scam. My current goal is to work for the local gov, preferably in the community center and go back to school to study accounting. But I just get rejections after rejections. I tailored my resume many times, even got professional help, write individual cover letters, I speak 3 languages, have many various skills, have a Bachelor’s degree in business management and I am good at it.. and I am tired. It all seems like a joke. I had a retail job last year for 4 months from which I was fired for asking why we got paid late -_- I have never been fired in my entire life, and it did hurt. I guess it was my “welcome to the US”

I still keep volunteering, learning, connecting with people, visiting job fairs, emailing various companies, but all in vein. I was always a proactive person and it worked in favor, yet here I try and try and try…and doors are always closed. American friends keep telling my “it all will be ok” and I just want to explode. The only support I have is from my partner, and I never had to rely financially on someone else but me, and this is quite degrading at this point. I wanted to start working before going back to school so that I can pay with my own money but it does not seem like an option, I am thinking to just starting with 1-2 classes..I don’t know what to do anymore. Will gladly take any advice, harsh, whatever.

I know it’s impossible to know. I also know a business is not going to tell me they’re close to closing. So this is a shot in the dark:

• What do I ask a Series C startup that will give me a sense of their runway?
• Any red flags in the interview process I can look for?

After 1.5 years of trying to leave my current director role, I finally have an interview for a senior director role at a series c startup (healthcare)

I just went to CrossFit’s careers page and they ask for your age category in the application. Isn’t that illegal!??!

I recently heard about using ai tools for interviews, so I stumbled this tool called Sensei Copilot AI. It assists candidates during interviews by offering real-time responses. How do you think HR would feel about an interviewee using something like this? Would love to hear your thoughts before I invest in it.

So Ill say right off the bat ive made a similar post a few months ago, but im incredibly depressed and need to vent.

So ive been looking for a job for the past four months and recently had a final round interview. I thought it went well, but I found out today that they passed on me. The recruiter told me that I had interviewed well and it was a toss up but they went with the candidate with slightly more experience.

Of course they did, because apparently god isnt done fucking with me and feels I need to suffer more for his shitty amusement. It doesnt matter that im stressed out and anxious as fuck, NO! The asshole in the sky has decided that I need to be more miserable for his enjoyment......

So yeah, Im aware what i just wrote sounds crazy as fuck but like I said Im ridiculously depressed and needed to vent somewhere. I know I should also take comfort that I did make it to the final round of an interview and I most likely will again.....but its essentially a cold comfort at this point as Im sure most people here will attest. I should also mention that i have been still applying and sending resumes knowing I couldnt put all my eggs in one basket........i guess I just have to keep doing it longer.

Sigh, fuck.........

So a week or so ago, I kicked up an old post that I was open to the job market which led to various ghouls for the lack of a better term contacting me. Now, I knew most of them wanted to contact me about a resume write up so I didnt contact them. I made the mistake of letting a conversation with these shitheads go long far enough that I sent them a copy and she sent me something back that since it was in this format it wasnt being detected that well by whatever software these recruiter shitheads use. I still didnt want to pay them so I closed the conversation.

But thinking back on it, has anyone here noticed that because their resume was one way they got more calls or whatever?

So, I am from India Just completed my graduation (June 2024, from DU) B.com (H) I have a fair amount of knowledge in Microsoft office softwares Completed a Finance training from Acmegrade (I know it's kinda useless thing but I have a training certificate) I have a very good knowledge of subjects like Cost Accounting, Financial Management and Management Accounting. Gained during my graduation period. So due to that, The field of Accounts and Finance piqued my interest. I decided to pursue ACCA now.

Now, I know to become a full-fledged member of ACCA, one needs to have a three years of PER.

So, the thing is that I have decided that I want to start working. But, I'm not sure whether whether I have enough qualities to get employed. I mean the packages are not a big issue for me at the time being. But, I think I just have some self doubts. Also, the thing is I have literally no experience of workplaces so that's also making me hesitant and I haven't yet prepared a good CV to apply for work.

I mean the Q I wanna ask is, when you guys firstly applied for work (helps me more if you're from commerce background), what was that feeling like? Did you guys had the confidence that you were ready then? How was your struggle?

Also the main thing I wanna ask, Do you think that for a fresher with no experience and relatively moderate skills/knowledge is enough to land a job? Like I totally wanna start working now no matter what the pay will be.

And any other advise (if you've done or pursuing ACCA) would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Background info:

I started working as a Bread Baker this year of February. It's a poorly paid job, 45k annually, but it is just 5 minutes of walking from home. I get along with my co-workers and manager. They all like me a lot because I am a hard worker and have good commutation between everyone. After 3 months, I got promoted to Lead Barker with a little bit of extra paid, 47k.

I recently did an interview with a tech software company. I received my congratulations email 1 week later saying that I have been selected to the Final Phase, which is a 3 and half months of training/tryout if I fit well within their team. My training will start 9/16 to 12/6. I will be given a monthly stipend of $2500. If I passed this Final Phase, which means the company likes me and wants me to be part of their team. My income will be 80k to 90k annually as a junior software developer.

How should I tell my current manger about me quitting soon and when should I tell him?:

Of course I want to jump on this new opportunity immediately, but my issue is how and when should I tell my manager. He has to seek a new hire and train that person to replace me. As a Baker, you have to wake up early in the morning and be at work 3AM, so finding someone willing to do that is hard. If I tell my manager a date too close to 9/16, he might be upset that I didn't give him enough time to seek a new hire.

Should I teach the new hire everything I know?:

There is also a chance my manger might ask me to train the new hire if he ever finds one. I kind of don't want to teach a new guy everything about my role because what if I don't pass the Final Phase at the tech company and I have to go back being a Baker again. The job market has always been a harsh cruel place, nothing is guarantee with sunshine and butterflies. I will lose my backup job if this potential new hire can really replace me. On the other hand if I do pass the Final Phase, my manager might be upset that I didn't fully teach the new hire how to properly work my role.

I had a job interview today and I left about ten minutes early. In hindsight I think I still would've been a little late even if the entire state of Colorado wasn't constipated. However there was a big wreck and one highway was closed and the one I was taking was incredibly clogged. A 25-30 minute drive became an 85 minute drive.

By the time I was nearly 45 minutes late, I called, apologized and explained my situation. The manager asked where I was driving from and seemed eager to reschedule and very understanding, but maybe she was just being very friendly.

I was able to reschedule for tomorrow morning and I am leaving MUCH earlier. I recently interviewed at a different location for the same company and I feeling very confident about the interview itself, but I don't know if there's any coming back from this. Is there a way I can save myself in the interview?

Title: Need Advice on Incorrect Job Application Details

Hello, Reddit community!

I applied for a job today through Workday, but upon reviewing my application, I noticed an error in how my resume was parsed. One of my short-term roles (from 2/2022 to 6/2022) is incorrectly listed as lasting until 6/2024. While my uploaded resume is accurate, the application reflects this mistake.

Unfortunately, I cannot withdraw my application to reapply, and I'm unsure who the hiring manager is.

Do you think I'm in a tough spot, or would it be worth reaching out to the company’s Senior Talent Acquisition Recruiting Coordinator on LinkedIn to address this issue?

Thanks for your insights!

I have an interview with a small company for a Junior/entry specific position tomorrow and another interview next Friday with the same company for an internship of the same specific position. Should I mention my interview next week in the interview tomorrow (if they do not already know)?

Hello! I managed to get my Computer Engineering degree back in May but have been struggling to find a place to hire me within these past 3 months. I sign up for jobs daily, around 10 to 15 or so. I am located in Northern Virginia and would preferably want a job within 50 miles of me. I managed to get an internship in my Junior year, I recently finished a 3 month long Drone Swarm project in my university that was funded by the Department of Defense, and I have been working as an IT consultant for a very small company over the past 2 years, and graduated with a 3.2 GPA.

I really want to put my degree to use. My biggest goal is to currently just get my foot in the door within the industry, so I am really flexible with what I have to do as long as it relates technically to what my degree offers. I managed to get 3 interviews so far. One place that ended up being on-site was too far away unfortunately, the other is the USPTO but it is not somewhere I want to work unless absolutely necessary because it isn't necessarily a job that will count towards technical experience for future jobs I may have, and the other is a robotics job. These interviews were fairly recent so I am still waiting to hear back.

It's been 3 months and although I am thankful for my 3 interviews, the vast amount of rejections is a bit disheartening. At the end of the day, I really want to be able to help my parents with their mortgage payments and let my old man ease up with how hard he works because he's been working hard for decades ya know? It just feels frustrating that it's been taking me months actually to put this degree I've worked so hard for in the past 4-5 years to use.

Any advice as to what specific types of jobs would best suite my degree as well as getting employed in general would be wholeheartedly appreciated, thanks.

looking for a job from home, i have a young child and am pregnant again having no luck at finding a job from home lmk if anyone knows anything

TLDR: I’m looking for certifications to grow my job prospects and advice on finding work in the meantime.

I (23f) recently graduated with a BA in Public Health. I’ve been having trouble landing even minimum wage jobs, and the work opportunities I had in college aren’t easily available to me since changing locations and moving in with my parents. My parents have been supporting me since graduating a few months ago, but my father recently lost his job so now there’s 7 people (not including family overseas) relying on one income source in a HCOL area.

I am in the process of preparing to apply to dental schools in the next two years, and I truly believe this to be my calling. I understand that going the dental route will be high risk (from the time and money commitment) and high reward (well paying, stable career). Dental school will be a huge investment, and with my current financial situation, I can barely afford one semester of the few prerequisite courses I have yet to complete. In an ideal world I would pursue a dental career, but it currently doesn’t seem practical to dedicate so much time to taking classes, shadowing, volunteering, and studying for the DAT when I need to prioritize having an income source. Also, I wouldn’t start dental school until 2026 or (most likely) 2027.

My work experience includes tutoring, advising students on college applications, working in laboratories, assisting clinicians with tasks involving paperwork and phone calls, caring for the elderly, babysitting an infant, working reception at events, doing nails, cutting/coloring/styling hair, caring for dogs, meal prepping, among other side hustles that I can’t recall at the moment. Most of these jobs were informal, and aside from academic research, I’ve never been officially hired or trained at a company. I’m a quick learner, highly adaptable, and great with people. I’m good with manual tasks that require dexterity. I’m a semi native Spanish speaker, so I understand the language perfectly but sometimes struggle with grammar when speaking, so I’ve been making an effort to improve. I’m not sure how relevant this is, but I’m generally considered to be attractive and personable, and I take care of my appearance (I was in a sorority, you get the picture).

For some context, I graduated from a top public university with good grades when considering grade deflation. The curriculum for my degree included subjects like general chemistry, physics, cell/molecular biology, evolution + ecology, anatomy & physiology, nutrition, microbiology, infectious diseases, epidemiology community and environmental health, calculus, statistics, data science (R and python), and humanities courses like sociology, anthropology, psychology, and history. I have a wide range of interests and am open to almost anything.

Are there any certifications I can pursue while working part time or full time that will help me find work? I’m open to doing an extensions program or something similar. I’d prefer a field that’s in high demand and pays around/above $50k a year. I don’t want to be in a situation where I dedicated time and money on a certification only to wind up making minimum wage, or unable to find work due to low demand. Ideally, I would also have potential for job growth and can start the path to a career, but that’s not necessary.

My resume is scattered and I fear that it doesn’t represent my capabilities. I understand that I have to tailor it to meet job specifications, but I don’t have meaningful experience to show. I only had one internship doing research in a prestigious lab, and it barely related to my academic or career interests. I don’t know how to convince employers that I can do the job. Is there any information I should know that could help me find entry level or minimum wage work? Are there any resources that could be useful to me? My priority is to start having a steady income, and increase my prospects by getting certifications. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello,

I haven't worked since 2021 in which I got laid off from a real estate technology position and have been trying to recover, my mental and physical health, and recover financially in this time as well. i received unemployment after the layoff as well as severance, so thats how i've been alive since then but now i am running out of funds and have maxed credit cards.

I currently live in New York with my wife, does anyone know if i would be allowed to apply for unemployment again ? My last unemployment check was 2022 and my only income since then has been things like dogwalking

My post in r/unemployment keeps getting removed so i thought to post here. thanks !

I want to use this Sensei Copilot AI for interview preparation is anyone here tell me if it is ok or not?

I’m struggling with job rejections, even for roles outside my field. The latest rejection, after three interviews, was especially tough. With ADD and rejection sensitivity, it's hard to stay hopeful. Any advice on keeping up morale?

I 16m have just turn this age in march 27 because I can get my first job at this age I want to get a job in June and put on two job applications at dollar tree by my house and a Walmart I had did a computer building program for my school for a month and a half and did not get nothing back then I had put in a application for another position in Walmart still did not hear back from them then I had put one in for a store called spirit Halloween new store by me and did not hear back from them and I don’t know what to do I want a job because I just got this cat from my brother his name is prince he going to turn 4 months and he going to need his shots and I want to pay for them

Hello everyone,

I dont know if this post is valid for this sub, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on the said topic.

I have lost all my hopes for finding any decent job in my field, because all I get are rejections. I have also started sending applications outside the field, but still no.

Last one was very painful (after 3 interview stages and getting to know a bit of possible colleagues in the last stage, I still got rejection with a text they have chose someone more suitable for this job. I had a really good feeling we are the perfect match. But apparently it was only one sided. (I also have ADD with rejection sensitive dysphoria which makes it super hard to recieve rejections, but hey, at least im going to be pro at this)

How to keep going and not lose all hopes?

Thank you for reading trough.

I am 15 years old and I have a decent resume especially for my age.

It includes things such as a 4.67 gpa, being the student of the year at my school, running in the Xc team for 3.5 years, multiple religious and public service positions, captain of the speech and debate team, and a few other things. I just want to know from people who have gotten jobs at chic fil a if I have a decent chance of getting in. (I would also like to mention that I will be 16 by the time I actually apply)

I just came from the solar industry and I'm trying to move into Industrial maintenance or maintenance in general as I like working on machines. But idk if it's just me, I get interviews, the interviews go well and then I hear nothing. or I get recruiters and they offer me something and then nothing turns up. I wonder if it's my interview skills so I've been asking my friends to help me practice and I've been trying to tailor my resume to fit the job description when using LinkedIn or Indeed. Does anyone have advice? I got laid off in march so I'm running out of time and I'd like to be able to at least have benefits. I've even been asking for less than my previous salary. I'd rather not keep doing contract work.

I am ideally looking for an entry-level job, right out of high school, that is focused on understanding complex information and constantly learning, with the capacity for independence in procedure and little to no social or collaborative work.

I am concerned that there aren't many jobs like this that don't require higher education or career experience. I am also skeptical about my chances of competing in the bloated coding/tech fields without years of experience. What are the realistic career paths for someone like me who wants a start at an intellectually stimulating job? Thanks in advance!

• experience: minimal retail experience
• education: high school diploma

If you want to skip to my question, it's at the bottom. I think I ended up venting about the events that transpired at the job I just had, so I apologize.

I recently was let go from my position as a leasing agent. Its a field I'd like to stay in because I genuinely loved what I did. The reason I was let go was tardiness, which I take full responsibility for, however there's a little more to go into it than that. I am not the most punctual person to begin with, but over the last year, it had become all too consistent of an occurrence for me no matter what I did to try and correct it. I found myself having a harder time waking up as the months rolled by due to a lot of stress and depression that was initially only at home, but became part of my daily work environment as well.

A few weeks ago I spoke with HR about a few of my team mates who have been bullying myself and a peer for the last year. I reported sexual harassment, vandalism, harassment, slander, threats of violence, and more. I even offered proof of most of my claims by letting them know I had photos of things, which mostly included how all of my move-ins were filthy because the maintenance supervisor had it out for me for some reason. He would say they're ready and when I would walk them I'd find dust, bugs, dirt, broken items, and my favorite, poop is the toilet every single time. Come to find out, he told the painters to do so in my move-ins only. He threw trash and goggles in my truck bed, small specs of splattered white paint, took photos of me driving up any time I was late, watched me from afar to try and catch me doing someone wrong, tried to frame me for his shop getting burglarized, and that's just what he's done to me. That's not including the things he's done to my peer, who also reported him and his wife. I have photos dating almost a year back of all the terrible things he's done & HR didnt even ask for any of it. For months he's been trying to get me fired by painting a picture of me as someone who is prone to gossip, makes others cry, and more. I have no idea what I ever did to him other than accidentally get the painters vehicle, who also sell him coke, towed after a resident said they were parked in their assigned spot. This was back when I first started. I have received numerous write ups for false accusations and not once did my manager ever give me time with her to back myself up and plead my case. I'd assumed that it was due to her not wanting to place blame on anyone specifically without proof and that she did the same for all of the employees, but I'm not so sure now.

She would always tell me to email her when I said I wanted to discuss the situation, but surely she knew there was no time for that in the work day and by the time I got home, it was already late due to my living an hour away and I just didn't have the energy or mental capacity to do anything work related at home anymore.

Towards my final days, I was so stressed and sick from the hostile work environment that I'd cry in my car after work every day. During luncheons I'd feel so out of place, I'd sit and work at my desk away from everyone. My manager was too busy to approach at all because she manages dual properties and anytime I could speak with her it either felt like I was bothering her or she wouldn't even understand my question and she'd give me a response to something I'd never said. Throughout all of the terrible treatment, I still played nice. I offered to help him when I could, kept to myself, did anything to be a team player, and more. I was not perfect, but I was a great employee who cared. My only wrongdoing was being tardy, usually by 1-5 minutes, which I understand can not be tolerated in a work environment.

Now, this is what bothers me. I have vouched for my manager this whole time. I genuinely respected her and wanted to learn from her despite whatever flaws I would see. Now I'm not so sure because of the way she behaved recently. I had about 8 applicants lined up for approval right as I was let go. Ive been trying to get her to review for days upon days. After I was let go, it dawned on me that she was handling the other applicants, but not mine, which makes me think it was intentional. I'd hate to think that, but she is the type to call around just to make sure someone she doesn't like gets no job in the industry around the city, so I'm not sure. It's not even about my money at this point, it bothers me that she's messing with people's lives and that's not cool to me. I also felt sickened by the way she handled numerous situations I was working on with residents. One was a noise complaint so bad that the couple hadn't been sleeping in their apartment since their move in a few months ago. One of which depends on a pacemaker and the lack of sleep and stress they experience caused an increase in palpation. They also have a newborn who's sleep schedule was messed up from the noise and she started developing eating and development issues. It was like pulling teeth to get my manager to help us. Initially, she got mad at me for asking about a transfer, but that's our policy within 30 days to allow this if they're uncomfortable. 3-4 months later when I kept annoying her, she finally approved the transfer but I got sick and she said not to work on anything from home and that they'll take care of it at the office. Finally, I came back and big surprise, they didn't. The couple then requested to get out of their lease penalty free and wanted a meeting. This finally happened and she instructed them to not talk to me about this again. A few weeks later, I get cc'd in an email from the couple stating that my manager never reached out or helped since the meeting and that I was the only one to try to do anything for them. They demanded to be released without charge. I messaged them privately to apologize and they told me so much more about how my manager behaved towards them. I wanted to puke. Another situation involved, what I have to assume is mold, in an apartment. She insisted its dust but dust doesn't eat paint and grow in circular shapes. She said tell them to change their filter. I know I'm not allowed to confirm nor deny the presence of mold because im not certified, but at the very least it would be decent of us to come up with solutions since it is a potential health hazard for the family, including a child. Again, I got in trouble for trying to help.

Other noteworthy mentions: Her & the maintenance supervisor & his wife, who works next door at the sister property, are all buddy buddy it seems. They will have lunch, the wife has gone to my bosses house, etc. So this leaves me wondering if this has anything to with the lack of followup on anything I have brought to the attention of HR & her.

I'm really bummed because I loved the company, but man, that was the most unhealthy work environment I've ever been in. So much that I was surprisingly relieved about losing my job.

Now, my HUGE concern is: I have no idea what I'm going to do about job applications. I know it's inappropriate to speak negatively of a previous job, but I know that I trust using them as a reference. Im afraid they'll be spiteful or dishonest. I just dont know what to do or how to go about this.

I am a hard worker, respectful, I get my hands dirty, I follow policy, I have soooo many fantastic reviews from people I've helped, im organized, great at sales, and more.

I need advice on how to go about this because I would like to start working again asap. I'm just nervous and a bit stumped when it comes to what I put for my references and history.

I am applying as a nurse to a hospital where my friend is a nurse there. We used to be students together in university. Can I put this friend as a job reference. I already added an instructor at my university and I need another reference so we were thinking of doing that.

I am have tons of experience working in pharmacies as an assistant. I am seeking employment in pharmacy but I am also eager to learn something new in a different field. I Would love to hear about some recommendations if anyone knows about any job opportunities please let me know😊.

I'm from India. So, having been a British colony, Indian English is heavily derived from British English. However, there's also the issue that we get a lot of exposure to English media through American sources and consequently American English.

I am an analyst and I learnt my CV wasn't going through the ATS because some places had the job description using 'analyze' instead of 'analyse' and vice versa. Visualization instead of visualisation. Modelling/Modeling. Strategize/Strategise. Learned/Learnt. So on and so forth.

I can't believe I lost out on opportunities in the past, roles I thought I was a perfect fit for, because of this.

I just hope HR executives realise/realize this.
