Hi guys! Delete if not allowed.

I posted something similar to this on a different subreddit, so I’ll just try to keep this to the point...

1. I recently got my esthetician license. I also know how to do makeup artistry (more glam/bridal, not much SFX)

2. former dog groomer, went to school, but I haven’t consistently groomed in about a year and never thought I was great at it.

3. I have an associates degree in digital graphic design, got the degree almost 10 years ago, never pursued it. Don’t think it’s something I could really use.

I went to school for esthetics because I had an in at a spa, but long story short, nothing is really happening. I got another part time job that I know I’ll have hours at, however both are commission based and I am worried because I need to be making money (and haven’t really been for about a month now)

Reddit, what do I do? I’d love to work more - I hate sitting idle. But the job market around me is not great (I’m in PA). Ideally I’d like to work in the skin care/makeup/animal industries, or maybe even photography (no experience though). I also model, but it’s more of a hobby and not really something I can make income off of (due to a lot of reasons). Can anyone point me in any kind of directions? Right now, going back to school is out of the question. Thanks!

Hey guys i work as a security guard for a condo complex in Sarasota florida, a position opened up for a concierge that pays almost double what i get currently. The security company i work for is contracted on so i don’t technically work for the complex. Is there any way i can apply to this job? Do i have to quit first and then apply? The manager adores me and would almost definitely hire me, but i want to apply soon. Please help

So I was going to apply to be an intern at Gerdau, and I was wondering if anyone has worked there, does Gerdau do urine or hair pre-employment drug testing?

PLEASE do not give me the "all holy" speech about smoking. If you have no helpful information, it would be appreciated if you kept your comments to yourself. :)

I was told working for a food delivery service would be an easy way to make some money. Is it a good idea? I would love some stories and opinions to support my decision! Thank you!

Hey guys, Im lost.

So, im almost 19y/o i finished high school(, i studied theater cenography and costume design at school and started digital art by myself some months ago,) but I like to do a lot of things like drawing, building stuff, graphic design, ceramic, cooking, animation, props design and i rly like puzzles and problem solving as well, but i dont think i like any of those enough to do them as a full time job, so i wanted to try and do concept art as a job since it feels like the most wide-ranging , but i dont think im creative at all and i never manage to get ideas by myself, or finish somthing. Im probably being super confusing cuz my thought process is sh**it .

Basically i dont like any of my draings, ive been drawing for years and everytime i actualy put effort into stuff it gets worst then if i dont try at all(and that aplies to basicly everything i do), idk what carrer to pressed cuz everytime i do stuff i end up hateing it, the only thing i thougt i could do is consept art as i said becouse it envolves a lot of brainstorming and drawing and doesnt always have to be a super polished final drawing and more of an idea, i would love to work with big game companies in the future but im scared of spending years of trying consept art without likeing it in the end and having to start over.

PS: this was prbably very contradicting cuz i said idk how to be creative but i like brainstorming, but yea if someone gives me a base to work from i love to explore and debate with other ppl about the final product.

Right now im takeing a break from school cuz i wanted to understand what i rly wanna do before going to uni if i rly end up doing so, therefore i have a lot of time to experimente since i dont have any 9/5 job.

Im rly worried with what i wanna do cuz i feel like i need to start making money and i dont know how.

should i experiment ? should i just start researching for info about concept art and give it my 100 %? should i do smth complitly difrent?

I just got my first job at KFC. I'm super scared and nervous and I already had like four or five days of training. They kind of threw me in the deep end and put me on the register at 1pm. (Basically peak hour) and I was obviously extremely nervous. Are there any tips on how I could possibly calm down or be less skittish? I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually but are there any tips to warm up quicker? Not sure I'd this is the right subreddit to put this in I've never really posted on reddit before.

Hey! So as I stated above I have questions and I need answers... I am 25F and I’m out of a job right now. I’ve worked restaurants/office assistant/bars/casino/hotel front desk experience. I’ve also done books for two casinos and have experience with that as well.

I’ve always wanted to be involved in some sort of emergency/non emergency dispatch. Also have interest in working as a domestic violence advocate or something along those lines. I was even looking at being a probation officer and it intrigued me.

The catch is, I’m living in a state I don’t want to live/hope to move soon. I am in a long term relationship so we do live together and he does financially support us at the time (we got one set of returns back so we’ve been better than usual, with me not working.) With that being said, I don’t have a large amount of disposable income but do have access to adult classes, community classes, etc. They aren’t too expensive, so I’d be willing to pay the money for the courses if it will help me get a foot in the door and can get started in the field and start making money. I want a fulfilling job and I do love helping people and it’s something I’ve always been interested in since I was little.

So with all that being said I would love to hear advice or maybe from people who did something similar and how they accomplished it, etc. What type of programs or certificates would I need? What can I get started on to help me if I could be relocating within 6 months to 1 year? Any other suggestions of similar type work that I could possibly do traveling? We are also interested in maybe starting a family as well in the next 2-3 years so I would possibly be wanting to turn this into something I could do from home. What jobs could start me in this field but also have the option to transition into at home work?

Thanks in advance for reading all of this! But I need to make a change and I need help and suggestions!

Hey reddit,

To make this simple, I am currently working part-time ($10/hr) as a sales associate since October and even though I do like my job considering it’s my first, I want to move up in my career ladder, so to speak. Which is why for the past like 2-3 months I’ve been looking elsewhere. (Right now in my workplace there’s only me, the assistant manager, and my manager.) So fast forward after like a ton of job applications, I just got a an immediate hire job offer as a Personal Assistant that pays up to $22/hr roughly, and to be honest the requirements and duties aren’t all that bad, but we’ve all got to learn at some point. But anyways, I also accepted an invitation last week for an Interview this Thursday for a Office Services Specialist at a state health department nearby... and now I’m stuck as to whether I should accept the job offer, contact the offerer and let them know that I currently have an interview, or what.... any experienced employees out there that wanna offer some advice? Ha.

Would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

My sister, who is 38, just landed herself a new job for a whopping $9/ hr working the front desk at a hotel. She is happy that she has a job, but she still lives with my parents and has no way to ever save up enough to move out on that kind of pay. Learning was always difficult for her, and while she went to a community college for a bit she dropped it because she was failing and couldn't afford it. Seeing her like this depresses me but I don't know how to help her or give her any direction towards a path where she would make more money.

Does anyone have an advice on any type of certifications or jobs that she could look into to start building a better life for herself instead of barely scraping by?

She likes helping out kids, she is pretty organized, and has a really low self esteem. She could probably do more if she thought she could, but I honestly don't think she has the esteem to push herself into something like being a pediatric nurse (her first choice until she realized she is bad at biology and is afraid of blood).

So I've been working for this guy whose got an online clothing brand and I've been putting together some hoodie graphics and templates, nothing too serious. My friend put me in contact with him, and after speaking to the guy he wanted me as an intern saying I need to develop my portfolio. Considering I'm in high school I wasn't expecting to get much more out of this gig than experience, but I've been spending a lot of my personal time on his stuff and I am strapped for cash. I've been working with him for about two months now. Is this not the right situation to ask for payment? Am I being greedy?

I am about a year and a half from retirement from the US Military, were I have been a Jack-of-all-IT, and and a disappointment to those who believe that the entire military should be made of leaders without followers.

I am a Technician, I love projects, I like solving technical problems, and I like to look back and see that I have accomplished something at the end of the day.

I am not a leader, I am politically retarded, and am guaranteed to say the wrong thing to the wrong person in the most innocent manner possible and not even realize why it was dumb until its explained later. (This is why I am retiring as an E5).

I am interested in spending a year or two overseas in one of the difficult, high-risk, regions such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi, etc, as a contractor in order to build up a nest egg for my wife and I.

I'm looking for contacts and or suggestions for where I could find contacts for said jobs.

And Yes, I know about Boeing and Lockheed's job sites, but the overseas listings are rare and sporadic.

So I was originally diagnosed with brain cancer junior year in high school. Went through chemo and radiation therapy but still ended up getting into college for industrial engineering. Graduated after 6 years during which I had to have a surgery which was suppose to be the last one but wasn’t. During my 6th year I was told it might be coming back so I chose to finish school first before having another surgery. Graduated, had the surgery but my recovery took longer then planned. Now I have a year gap on my resume where I didn’t do anything and I can’t tell employers what really happened because I believe they would choose other candidates over me. What would you say on your resume that you did during the year in order to have better chances on getting a job. Also I’m getting close to being 25 and having my health insurance cut off from my parents. Meaning I need to find something ASAP incase the cancer wore to come back. Let me know your opinions on this as this is one of the last places for me to ask

I went to the wrong location for an interveiw, twice. There's two steakhouse restaurants in the same area. I applied at longhorn online and I ended up going to Texas Roadhouse, the wrong one. Got a second interveiw there went to the second interview still didn't realize I was at the wrong restaurant. Until I completely embarrassed myself. I thought I was trying to sound knowledgeable about the company and showing off my research when I spoke about the restaurant he was like no we actually started in a different state and branched out anyways mistake and then towards the end of the interview he asked me if I had any questions and I told him that I looked up their menu online but I didn't see it in their menu. while He told me that I must have been on the wrong website and then I finally realized I was at the wrong restaurant. I went to the correct restaurant and let them know what happened so they invited me back for a second interview and I just received an email that I need to write an essay on why this is the dumbest thing I've done. Please help me write this essay or brainstorm with me please.

I work for a school in Michigan and am supposed to be paid every two weeks, I have gotten paid once, I should’ve been paid on October 18th and I’m supposed to be paid this coming Friday. I have talked to the people who handle payroll multiple times but they still haven’t done anything. They’re saying it’s because they have been getting audited, which I get but that doesn’t mean employees stop getting paid for almost a month right? What should I do?

So I applied and paid for a "job" called ACN, I already went through the process of saying yes, that I want to be in ACN without realizing that they want more money. I had to get a refund and now I am applying for a job application and for the employment history, I don't know if I should add ACN as part of my work history, I didn't even earn money out of it, I was part of it for 5-ish days. Would it be harmful if I don't include it in my work history?

I'm 22 and have only ever worked fast food probably less than 6 months with each of the 3 jobs... I'm now about to have my 3rd child. At 20 I found out that scoliosis is the reason I've had pain my whole life. My question is how do I go about looking for a job without any transportation, no college degree, no creativity anymore, and when I'm hardly able to stand more than 3 minutes without pain..

I started a few online courses for business administration or something last year, I was wanting to be an accountant I don't know, but my computer was stolen so I barely finished those courses and haven't started with any other ones. I did decent in school, loved it. I know I can learn easily but I don't know what to do. I don't want to be on disability or welfare. I Need a job and I'd like to continue school when I can.
