I've been out of the hiring game for a while, so not sure what this means. I know I could wait till tomorrow, but I'm winding myself up thinking about it!

I have Autism and OCD and just neurodivergent in general. It’s for a CCA position with post office. The reasonable accommodations committee wants to have a zoom meeting to go over my possible accommodations to do the job and then decide if they think I can do the job and if they can accommodate me. Supervisors from the area I got hired in will be there I think. What kinds of qiaations should I ask? Can the job lower their standards to my standards of doing the job (pace, etc?) is that legal? Like if I can’t deliver mail as fast as everyone else because of my disabilities?

I have a masters and 12+ years in management. All I am getting is zoom videos and I have managed 3 stores in the past doing about 5 peoples jobs. Are there people struggling like me? It’s sending me into a deep depression.

Hello I work at a small start up company, I used to work in an office where they would give us our paychecks as literal checks and then we would cash them out. I recently moved cities about 5 hours away and they wanted me to stay with team. They said they would set up direct deposit so that I could receive my check, but that was 3 months ago… every time I ask my ceo about it he says that the accountant has some delays. Does it normally take a business owner about 3 months to set up direct deposit?

I just turned 16, been applying to jobs for about 6 months. I have a solid resume with some volunteer work, honors in school. I’ve applied to over a dozen jobs by now (fast food, retail) and I’ve only gotten 1 interview which was a rejection. Most of the applications I didn’t even get a rejection email, just silence. I’m running out of places to apply that will even hire at 16.

I want to start earning money for my hobbies and my future and I feel like I’m behind. What do I have to do to get a job?

I've had so many interviews lately where the interviewer will say "we'll be in touch" or the recruiter will say "someone will call you in a few days" only for it to never happen.

Like, I'm not expecting an offer. But I'm expecting either an offer or a rejection. If you tell me that you're going to get back to me, then why do you never get back to me? What the hell is the point in lying to people? Does it just make you feel better?

Do what you say, and if you're not going to do it then don't say it. It really isn't hard.

Howdy,

I got laid off twice this year. First from a company I'd been at for 5 years in the tech sector I loved and then from a global bank I didn't love but I liked being employed.

First time, I was pretty ashamed and didn't want to leach off people who I met from my 5 years at [cool tech company] but now that I understand referrals are how the game works I'm blasting off connection requests and messages to everyone I worked with there pretty much in 5 years (and some I didn't work with directly but saw in fun slack channels about movies).

Curious if anybody else does this. When I was employed I avoided LinkedIn pretty religiously because I dont like the content but now I obviously rely on it to try and find a new job... but employed people dont? Idk kinda rambling here.

TLDR Do people get annoyed when they see a connection request from that guy they worked with on 1 project 4 years ago?

I’m hoping to get some advice as I’m facing a few decisions that could really shape my next chapter.

Here’s the situation:

I’ve been out of work since September due to a temporary injury (not work-related) that’s left me unable to return to my previous physically demanding job. I’ve been trying to stay positive and view this as an opportunity to pivot toward a new career path.

2024 has been a tough year for me. I moved back to the city from the coast reluctantly, and now I’m considering a fresh start with a potential job offer in one of two small coastal towns. The challenge? Housing in both towns is limited, and I’d need to either find a place in the same town as the job or secure both housing and a job in a different location.

The other option is to move out of the city to a quieter, smaller community not too far from the coast. This could also give me the chance to look for a nearby job or explore remote work (I have an interview for a remote position tomorrow). I’m open to remote work, which would give me flexibility to either stay in a small community or eventually find something on the coast.

One additional hurdle is that I need to leave my current apartment. It’s been really hard to deal with the noise, and there are way too many stairs for my current physical condition.

So, here’s what I’m asking:

How do I navigate these competing options—coastal towns with limited housing vs. smaller communities with more flexibility? Should I take the risk of moving to one of these small coastal towns and hope I can secure housing/job? Or, is moving to a smaller community, where I can find a quieter place and potentially remote work, the better option? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. I’m really trying to make a fresh start in a way that’s sustainable and aligned with my long-term goals, but I feel stuck with all the moving parts.

I need to hunker down, feel safe and secure, especially for the next four years. This isn’t a situation where I can have my cake and eat it too and be close enough to the coastal town. I have to choose one or the other . Thanks in advance!

Hey, Reddit. I recently moved further from my current job and started job hunting to find something closer. I had a great interview for a pizza place inside of the airport, then moved on to the background check and airport badge application.

I felt like the job was mine until last Wednesday when I was contacted and asked if I'd like to attend orientation on 12/3. I had to decline and ask if we could reschedule for the following week because I'm still in the middle of finishing my two weeks at my current workplace (I made sure to let them know that I was currently working during the interview). After talking with family, I'm worried that rescheduling would ruin my chances of keeping the job. I know that I'm probably overthinking (I tend to do that) and there's nothing to worry about, but I just can't shake this feeling that I screwed myself over. Now I'm just sitting by and waiting for a new orientation date that may not come.

I don't know, what do you think? I'm overreacting, right?

Also, sorry for any typos and formatting issues

I have been trying to land a job at Apple for about 10 months now. I always knew simple apply on website wouldn't work, so I networked with a lot of people there through LinkedIn, personal contacts etc. Got multiple referrals for few roles I was applicable for. I even attended the campus event of Apple where I had a one on one interaction with technical manager who was hiring. That psuedo interview went well. Got in contact with another hiring manager through LinkedIn, setup a call with him and explained my skillset. He appreciated and said he would move forward my application.

And after all this, I have never once heard from their HR or any other person for follow up interview. Never once have I gotten an official interview for the open roles. This is the case not just for Apple but other companies too.

My few friends did secure these interviews. At this point I don't know what else to do. There's not even a proper feedback from them as to where am I lacking in. December has started and companies have stopped hiring. What more should I do?

Hi, I got stomach flu on Sunday and could barely move. I requested to work from home Sunday through Tuesday, which isn’t typically allowed by our company policy, but they made an exception because I had urgent projects to complete.

Since I work Sunday to Thursday, I ended up working from home for three days. I had planned for weeks to take Thursday off, but now I feel guilty, like it might seem I’m not committed to work. Our company is strict about absences, especially from mid-September to mid-December, and I feel conflicted about taking Thursday off, even though I’ve earned trust as a top performer and have been praised by my director.

I’m worried this might hurt their perception of me, especially as I’m expecting a raise and benefits. I’m not sure what to do.

Can anyone speak to working for this company and whether or not it is a good company to grow with? Their retirement planner position offers $100k+, $60k of which is true salary, and $40k is offset by production on annuities. They are a flat fee RIA. They have grown considerably. I am not seeing enough clear feedback on Glassdoor or Indeed. Thanks.

My occupation requires me to work in big cities with New York being the place with the most opportunities. I currently work in Los Angeles and pretty high up in my career, leaving me not many choices left, but to move to New York for any career growth. I was working in a toxic work environment(what job isn't) at the time was able to secure two different job offers.

The first one was an offer in New York. When interviewing with them, it was revealed that the department I originally applied for is no longer hiring for the position and all the money and resources were going to a different department. They offered the position in the other department to me and I told them I did not have enough experience to work in the other department. After a few days, they reconsidered and reopened the role just for me. They would not pay me to make the move and I had to negotiate the pay to the lower end of the average salary of my occupation. And to add to that, I had this small gut feeling that the work environment wasnt the healthiest. Idk if it's because they're "New Yorkers" but I just couldn't quite shake that feeling.

The second offer was in LA. The pay was significantly more being above average the normal pay for the title. I would be working very close with the VP and surprisingly I clicked really well with her. They also had a lot of perks on top of the usual benefits. However, choosing this job means I'm "settling". There are no more opportunities left for me to grow in this industry and taking this job means Im probably never going to leave LA.

Aftering weighing the two options and discussing with friends, family, and old coworkers, I decided to go with the second option. I rejected the first offer saying something along the lines of "Thank you for the offer. I also have another offer in hand that will be hard to reject. I believe your company closely with my career goals, particularly in terms of growth opportunities. But at this point, I will have to go with the other offer which offers more compensation." And starting working for the second company.

Going through orientation on my first day and signing a bunch of paperwork, I noticed on my contract, the title was different than what I applied for. It was a title higher than what I was supposed to be. I didn't complain because it felt like a promotion but when I told my old coworkers about it they were concerned I was being underpaid for that role. I really did enjoy working for the company and got a long with everyone really well. However, the tasks given to me were way above my experience level. I tried my best to keep up, but unfortunately, I was let go. I left on good terms with the VP offering me a reference letter and using them as a reference any time.

But now I don't have a job.

Its right before the holidays so companies aren't really hiring but I really don't want a gap in my resume. So as I was job searching, I noticed the first company was still hiring for the other department.

How do I ask for the job offer back for a role that was created for me but I rejected but they still hiring for the other role even tough it's been almost 2 months since I rejected them?

Who uses a semicolon in a review???

Wanting to consult to help someone start or scale a youth support work / mentoring NDIS business.

I am a young CEO and own a successful NDIS company that runs very smooth as we have great systems and workers in place. We also provide great service and have really good feedback from all parties including our workers.

The reason my company is successful is because of many factors but I truly believe it’s just a formula that I have and it can grow Australia wide. I am very excited about the company’s future as we have great plans the we are always executing.

In the next 5 years It’s in my exit plans to sell the company as I have other areas of interest both business and personal I would like to explore.

I have always been excited about helping other people grow their business (specifically in the youth space) as the demand is WAY too big for my company to service Australia wide.

The issue is, my consultant and business partner don’t see the benefit with me even spending 1 hour of my week consulting to someone else’s business as it’s counterintuitive.

I do understand all of this but I’m not looking to consult to a big company more so to help someone get off the ground and also benefit the community as a whole through services.

Anyhow, I created a new ABN and wanted to throw out to see if anyone would be interested in taking the offer of 1 hour of support per week?

There are a few basic guidelines as I want this person to take it seriously;

• Must have a small marketing budget (minimum $200 per month) • Must have experience as a support worker / mentor

I’m confident that I can provide great value including, marketing strategies, systems, procedures, software, employment contracts, templates…. Pretty much everything as I’ve spent tens of thousands on all of it and I’m super passionate about it.

Please reach out if you are interested, happy to discuss further and find the right person as I want to enjoy the process too.

I got job offer from agency in indonesia for working as an operator warehouse in slovakia and i got this letter in pdf format, but the thing makes me hestitated about this offer is the letter look blurry not like other official letter that straight coming from the company itself.

What i really need help is, does this letter legit from real company in slovakia or it just a scam? I'll send you personal message for anyone want to help me identified this letter, because im not really sure if this letter meant to be confidential or not, thank you.

Ps: soon i'll attach the letter if its turns out not confidential, so we can discuss openly

I had an interview for an internship on Friday 11/8, with my would-be supervisor in my specific field (data analytics) and the company’s co-founder. I thought it went really good.

I didn’t hear anything so I sent co-founder a follow up on 11/20 and he said thanks for reaching out, and that the data supervisor who I interviewed with would be reaching out early during week of Thanksgiving. After this response I was sure I got the position.

Well now we’re past that week, and I don’t know weather to send another follow up or what to think really. Thoughts?

The courting stage during the application process is always intriguing to me.

Over Thanksgiving weekend I applied to a bunch of different jobs in my college town. Two of the ones I applied to I heard back from today - one as a Culinary services aide in a nursing home/home living community, the other as a cook at my local hospital.

Just some motivation for people struggling in today's job market that may not be getting interviews. I've been looking for jobs since August and have only snagged a grand total of 4 interviews including these two. But if you keep putting yourself out there, you can do it too.

Now hopefully these lead to a job.

ETA: Title got messed up, oversight by me. These are job interviews not job offers. Can't change the title and I was too excited to double check 😂. But will update if I get offered

I joined a new company last month and in the first week my manager was let go. I originally accepted this new job because I was frustrated with lack of experience of my manager at my old company and was excited by the opportunity to work under an experienced person who I interviewed with. I did not negotiate any salary for the offer as I was valuing the guidance and mentorship for career development.

Now I’m left with no manager to help with training and onboarding and expected to take on several complex projects immediately. I’m a bit lost on whether or not to stick with this opportunity as I don’t feel I’m being set up for success. The company does plan to backfill my manager but this will take months and this will likely be an external hire that has no institutional knowledge, and as a result, I will end up training my new manager.

Should I consider returning to my old company who will be happy for me to return under a different manager, stay quiet and work through the challenges, advocate for a raise? Doing this type of work comes with a risk of burning out.

So I am currently employed but thinking about getting back on the market again and churning up the application process.

I have a VERY uncommon name, from what I can tell, there are probably 4 people in the US with my name. Unfortunately, one of them has a federal felony, and this person is roughly my age and in a not that different field as me, and has a serious workplace crime. When you google my name the very first google result is from the US department of justice website in big letters "UNITED STATES VS (MY NAME) -- FOUND GUILTY", the next 4 google results are related to the same court case.

I feel like the second some potential employer googles my name and sees that, they'd make a very lazy association and just say "yup, pass". I just need to make it to the background check and I'm golden (i think i had a parking ticket once, that's it)

I am a Senior Software Engineer with a background in communications and space systems. How cooked am I? And what are my options? Can I write on my resume "I DO NOT HAVE A FELONY", i feel like that'd be weird, can I just write down a fake name, and when I get an interview explain the situation? Should I just legally change my name? Or email the DOJ and tell them to give my namesake a presidential pardon for my sake? What would you do?

I am 23 years old, attend college and live in Washington. 4 months ago, I passed the interview with Boing for the Intank Sealer job, and I had to wait for a long time because of the huge strike. During the waiting time, I found a job in Flying Food Services (FFS), in Equipment Preparation for flights, and I have worked here until now. Last 2 weeks, I received an email from Boeing that said I could start my work in January. I am so confused now about deciding to choose to keep going on FFS or starting on Boeing. Do you think which job is better?

I think for my agency they’re more of a scare tactic but also a form of micromanagement.

I was reached out to by a recruiter on indeed for a position with a confidential company. During the phone interview w the recruiter, the industry, job description, location and salary were all disclosed by the recruiter.

I have an in person interview on Thursday.

Should I be cautious that the company name wasn’t disclosed? Is this bs? What are legit reasons for this?

Hi I am 16 year old that is going to apply for a job this summer as a camp counselor I understand that I have plenty of time until my interview but I do have a question about a résumé and if it’s necessary for a camp counselor job and do you have any advice on what the content of the résumé should be. *english is not my first language so if it sounds unclear please mention and I will try my best to clarify

Hey, I’m looking for some advice

I am working currently in international media and communications (not sports media) while doing a Masters degrees in Global Business.

I’m sports crazy and would love to pursue a career in this industry, tying in my experience in media with my passion of sports.

I’ve done panel discussions, and some pieces to camera in my current role, while also building a portfolio/ clip file by writing articles for a football based online publication, Attacking Football.

I would love to make a move into the industry of sports, not necessarily journalism, but more so media or correspondence.

Any advice on this would be appreciated!

I been at my current job for two years. I just got my very first performance review and it's good but I need improvement which is fine. However I feel that my first year I wasn't given the right training, I started as part time then got promoted full time within 4 months and now am pretty much doing two positions and getting paid peanuts. My supervisor and the director both had a say in my review which rubbed me the wrong way. The supervisor should only be able to evaluate the coworkers. During the first year I brought alot to my position and was shot down by the higher ups but now my evaluation says that I had good ideas but I didnt know how to intact them. My supervisor confess she doesn't even knows what I do in my position. I am looking for a new job but is there a way to not to feel like trash while at work? Thanks.
