We are looking for 5 app testers who own an Android smartphone and are willing to try out our app. Our goal is to identify potential issues and gather valuable feedback before launching intensive marketing campaigns.

Important: We are not looking for penetration testers or software experts who will analyze every minor bug. We’re looking for everyday users who belong to the app’s target audience and can share their honest opinion on usability.

Requirements:

• You speak German or English

• You own an Android smartphone with access to the Google Play Store

• You are at least 16 years old

And the stories will be outlandish as fuck. Remember that one time you stopped to help 4 baby turtles that had just escaped from that underground turtle fighting ring cross the road but that one was limping so you made it a little splint before carrying it in your hands behind the others? I do and your parents deserve recognition for raising such a great child. I can also let them know you're doing great in your masturbatory lab here at FSU. As a professor I've never seen someone so in tune with their own body. All I need is few facts and I'll take it from there. I'll post the results in this thread. Should be a fun Saturday. $50 spouses $200 for grandparents

Update: First call done. Kathy was unusually happy with the weed donations in her name. Our congregation not only appreciates smoking it but selling it helps us get $ for the kiddos!

I've been in HR for years, and screened thousands and thousands of resumes. I've hosted hundreds of interviews, and if you need help with dusting off your resume and revamping it, or need some pointers during an interview, PM me.

"unfuck the world."

EDIT: apologies for any misspellings in my replies, have no time to proofread. But I proof (twice) any of the resumes people have PM'd me.

EDIT2: Thank you for all the PM's. I'm doing my best to review, read, correct, and PM you all back as soon as possible. thank you for your patience.

EDIT3: Clocking out for the night as soon as I finish a couple more PM's requesting resume help. I'll be back in the morning to post up some general pointers and clear up some common resume/interview questions a lot of you are asking in the PM's.

EDIT4: Still got some unanswered PM's. I noticed a lot of similar issues in a lot of resumes I got, so here are some general rules to follow:

1- Proper format calls for work-experience to be at the top of the resume. Why? Because we're cross checking the requirements of the position to your qualifications. We want to know HOW/WHERE you've utilized the skills you claim you have in an office/work setting. Listing off skills is easy. Giving examples of where and how you used those skills is more useful.

2- Layout.

DATE-------Organization Name-----Location [next line] (Position) [next line] -Duty -Duty -Duty

3: Skill summaries/ Personal summaries: These are mostly out of date. You don't need to include them in your resume. First, they take up space that could otherwise be used to add more duties under your work EXP. Second, most of what you cover in a summary is what we want to see in a cover letter. No point having it in two place. BUT, if you feel that it is necessary, by all means leave it, no harm done - it's not a red flag or anything...

4. Consistency. Lots of redditors resumes have job positions in multiple industries, but they were working the same profession/tasks. You need to show that. If you worked at a marketing firm and you were making coffee, making copies, and you wrote "Staff Assistant." But now you're applying for a Marketing Coordinator position, you need to change it up. For "Staff Assistant," you write, "Marketing Staff Assistant." Why? Because the word "Marketing" matters if you're applying to a Marketing job!

Same thing for random, oddball jobs. Oh, for three years you did yard work for a local gardening company, and now you're applying to an office job? Guess what you're now a "Customer Service Representative." It's not lying. You dealt with customers. You represented their interests...you serviced them. Done. That's the game.

5: A lot of graphic designers out there looking for work. I keep referring to www.elance.com. great place to make a portfolio or market your portfolio.

6: Organizations Category. If you've volunteers anywhere, are part of a club, a frat, a sorority...this is the category that those things go under. Regardless if you did IT work for them, were a leader, or managed a group of 30 people. This is the place for NON-PAYING positions to go.

7. Dates. Write your dates! I can't begin to tell you how important this is. Write your dates so that we know when you worked, how longed you worked for. This helps us calculate your experience, and to ask about any gaps that we might find between work places. Proper format? Try to remember the month. For Example: January 2009- December 2011. If the full month takes too much space on a line, abbreviate to Jan., Feb., etc.

I'm still getting around to more PM's and answering on here so that I can clear up any general questions you might have. Thank you for your patience.

EDIT5: Going on a 2 day hiatus. No, not cause of PM's. Planned a camping trip =D BUT, I answered as many as I could. If I didn't get to yours, I will on Sunday or Monday. If you still want to send your resumes or questions over, no problem. have a good weekend.

I've tried to post the same post three times today and am immediately getting downvoted into oblivion. I can only assume this is because my field (interactive / web / print design) is highly competitive on these parts, and people are intentionally downvoting other's posts in order to get ahead themselves. I've seen this happening on other people's posts also, so I'm pretty sure it's not just people hating on me and my work.

This is incredibly disrespectful and is defeating the purpose of this wonderful subreddit.

MODS : Would it be possible to remove the downvote button? The only downside I see to this is having users spam their [for hire] posts, which we could solve by actively encouraging users in the sidebar to report such activity.

EDIT : I'm now aware that there are no downvote buttons. I mainly use AlienBlue on my phone which doesn't take the CSS into account.

I love /r/forhire , and have benefited from it several times in the past. I would hate to see such a wonderful resource go to waste due to people unfairly downvoting posts to gain traction.

Let's keep this ship afloat!

EDIT 2 : I'm not trying to cause an internet battle here. This was simply an observation which I posted in order to possibly benefit /r/forhire in the future.

Hey guys, I don't have enough karma to post on  so I'm posting here.

The task is very simple, I need someone to scrape data from this website https://www.redfin.com/city/3105/NC/Charlotte and put in an excel sheet with the different informations mentioned for every house, you can automate it or do it manually it's totally up to you.

I'm paying 100$ for 500 rows, if there is no way to automate it I'm willing to pay more.

I'm flexible on the payment (paypal, crypto)

This could be a possible long term if I like the work.

Please upvote/bid before DM'ing me, and include the word "gold" so I know you're not a robot.

EDIT: Thanks for all your messages, unfortunately I can’t respond to all of them. I already chose 3 people each one out of the 3 subreddits I posted on, it was supposed to be a long term opportunity, but since a lot of you didn’t get the chance to get the job I’ll choose other people next time. I might message random ones of you or post here on the subreddits.

Hey folks,

Looking to hire an experienced backend or full-stack dev to help fix and optimize our small business’s database setup. We run a growing e-com operation (Shopify + custom tracking tools), and our current system is a mess of MySQL, Google Sheets, and band-aid solutions.

You'll be working alongside our team of virtual assistants from Delegate.co who handle product uploads, order processing, and customer service, so you’ll need to build tools and workflows they can actually use without breaking anything.

🔧 What We Need:

Audit & optimize our MySQL setup (speed, structure, backups)

Build simple tools or dashboards that VAs can use (e.g. GSheets integrations)

Communicate clearly and coordinate with remote VAs across time zones

💡 Bonus Points:

Shopify API or Zapier/Make automation experience

Basic frontend skills for lightweight internal tools (Vue/React)

💰 Offer:

$40–$70/hr, based on experience

Part-time/contract (10–15 hrs/week to start), remote, async-friendly

Paid test task for shortlisted candidates

DM me with: A short intro + portfolio or GitHub, one DB or internal tools project you’re proud of and availability this week!

Need someone sharp but chill. If you’ve ever screamed into the void because someone mass-edited a live table with no backup... you’ll fit right in.

Cheers!

Please, please, please do NOT hire Nick Green of Nick Green Web Design. He is a complete scammer that will constantly set deadlines and miss them every time. He would disappear for days on end and continuously make up excuses for never having anything to show. Don't be tricked by his pleasant attitude on the phone, it's all a facade. Wish I would've known all of this before I hired him!

Having some issues with our twitter feed recently. Ironically, I think the header thing at the top was causing it.

I think I made a change that will fix it.. fingers crossed.

EDIT: Hmm, still acting up. Anyone know anything about issues with reddit's RSS functionality? The feed we're pulling from is www.reddit.com/r/forhire/new/.rss, but it seems to not be validating.

Twitterfeed says: "Your feed might be empty or missing publish dates or GUIDs. A feed needs to contain publish dates or GUIDs in order to work with twitterfeed."

No comprendo.

Hi I posted earlier but put the wrong tag I’m looking to hire someone to do a funeral video. Will pay around $300ish not sure when I will pass but would love to add songs and photos until then. My family can just use the latest version at my funeral. I added more details in my previous post too.

Thank you!

As promised (though late), I'm updating my post from two weeks ago in which I detailed my poor experience with LoveMHz, who I hired on May 12 to create an Android widget. I took the last post down because LoveMHz agreed to have the project completed by that Wednesday Aug. 29th (with a revision by me beforehand), and because he was getting harassing phone calls from people which I felt bad about.

I did not receive the project by that Wednesday, and was away in LA/Vegas from the 30th - 4th, which I gave him as additional time to complete the work. Not only was he still late, but he has been downright abhorrent in the way he has acted to me. The final product did not work at all (screenshots here -- there was absolutely no function, resizing, or anything -- just the red square you see). LoveMHz then tried to blame me for ruining his progress because I couldn't add the widget to my phone (it did not show up on my widget list on my first install, I possibly missed it because he incorrectly named it "StackWidget"; could not even pay enough mind to spell "Stock" properly). It was a 3-4 day delay on my part, after 4 months of delay from him, and it should not excuse the app being absolutely incomplete. Anyway, I'll let our correspondence do all of the talking, you can see it here.

I've also found very similar feedback here in which he screwed somebody else over on assemblergames.com.

Recap of original post: Hired LoveMHz for $2,600 on May 12th to make widget for me which he confidently said would take less than 2 weeks. I gave him a $2,200 (85%) deposit because he was desperate to pay for school, he had good feedback from other redditors, and I felt like being kind and helping someone out. After multiple excuses, emergencies, and issues he stopped answering me until I made the post which finally captured his attention. He also made a promise to refund money if he was not finished by July 6, which he obviously did not meet, and revoked his offer of giving the refund.
Full Contents of First Post Here

What now: I will be filing a legal claim against LoveMHz, as suggested by many redditors who kindly took their time to reach out to me. My state has a long arm statute which will require LoveMHz to appear for court here. I will also be getting back to some of you about doing the job or doing other work. I appreciate the support and do acknowledge that not everybody on here or out there is there to scheme people out of their money. I have had good experiences on /r/forhire, including a programmer who I have worked with consistently for over 8 months (and we are now partners on one of our endeavors).

..............................
I have made the source code he sent my other programmer available for anyone who wants to inspect it and see how much work was done. I am not a programmer and have no idea what %age of the work was done.

SOURCE CODE/ZIP FILE HERE

ORIGINAL SCOPE OF WORK HERE

OUR AUG. 25th CONVO, AFTER ORIGINAL POST, HERE

Edited to change the Source Code link, since LoveMHz had it removed due to Copyright claim. Funny because in the original post, he claimed he thought he was finished, and that he handed over the code to me for the money. I guess now he believes he's entitled to the source code AND my money. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's trying to get it removed so that people don't see that actual lack of work/quality he's done as commented by other developers below.

I've been seeing a lot of posts here offering equity in lieu of payment. While this type of posting may sometimes be beneficial to all involved, it's usually something along the lines of "I have a great idea, all I need is a programmer to build it". My position is that such activities aren't hiring. There's /r/startups and /r/entrepreneur for building a company, but it seems to me that this would be more for people looking to pay to having work done and other people getting paid to do it.

Most every developer I've met (myself included) gets approached about implementing half baked ideas for free often enough in real life. I think it would be nice to have a place where we can offer our services and be found by serious customers without being spammed by "idea guys" looking to build "facebook meets twitter and google".

So my questions are:

Are any of the developers or designers here ok with working for equity or are you mostly interested in cash?

If you're only interested in cash, are you ok with restricting the sub to paying jobs and gigs only?

Edit

This has been accepted as a rule for the sub and linked to in the sidebar. For anyone who does want to post equity-only jobs try:

• /r/startups

• /r/Entrepreneur

An even better idea would be to pick out a small part of your project, offer cash only and find out if it will be a good fit. Then use that pre-existing relationship to bring them on as a founder. This way you're not potentially offering a big chunk of your company to somebody you hate working with.

We are looking to hire someone to create youtube videos. You will have to show your face in the video and follow the script we provide you. We will also provide you reference videos which you can watch that will make video creation part very easy for you.

Looking for someone from USA, UK or Canada for this work.

Each video will be 8-10 minutes in length.

You should know basic video editing skills and have a good personality.

We are willing to pay $200-300 per video.

This is a long term job and we require videos on an ongoing basis. Atleast 10 videos every month so you can make $2000-3000 a month.

Please send me a message if you are interested

Thank you

Hello, do you have a third shift job that you can't keep people in, because it's "too boring"? I'm your guy!

I recently got my bachelor's degree in computer science. I do not like the tech industry at all. Therefore I am searching for a job in a field that I do like, which is sitting down and doing nothing. I frankly don't like working hard. The whole "go go go rat race" thing is not for me. I want a job that basically requires someone with a pulse available for 8-12 hours a night, and otherwise lets me goof off on a laptop. I want to spend my days writing my own personal software programs for fun. My "work" might also include watching TV shows, reading books or playing video games.

Don't get me wrong, your job's responsibilities come first and I will perform them competently. I just don't want there to be many job responsibilities. I can handle a bit of work, perhaps 1-3 hours a shift, but going hardcore for 8+ hours? Nah. I'm good. Ideal jobs might include:

• Being onsite to wait for phone calls (that never come)

• Monitoring an easy, trainable tech task (changing printer ink or resetting a server or whatever)

• Checking in hotel guests on a night audit

• "Security" position that doesn't actually ever require security tasks

• Making sure old/injured people are still asleep and safe every 2 hours

My qualifications include:

• Educated, can read/write/use a computer

• Willing to relocate anywhere in the US, not tied down

• Clean background, no crime/credit issues

• Very comfortable being a night owl, will be awake and alert

• Willing to get IT certifications if it comes to that

Despite the slothful nature of this post, I genuinely do have passions I want to work hard towards, but I want to put my efforts into my own personal goals instead of some random company's goals. Thanks for considering me to be a "valuable" part of your team!

I'm fairly new to this subreddit (maybe a month or two), and I have to say some things to some of the clients that are on here.

Please do NOT cease communication in the middle of a work discussion. Usually it's been after I name my price. The conversation usually goes like this:

Client: What's your estimate for this budget?

Me: What's your budget?

Client: Let's hear your estimate first.

Me: $xzy.

And the client never responds back. Don't do this. Just don't. That's why I asked your budget. Either try to negotiate as to why you think that's not a fair price or just SAY it's out of your range. Don't just cease communication. It's very unprofessional and very disrespectful.

I hope this wasn't the wrong place to post this, but several potential clients have done this and it's rather annoying.
