I didn’t move here in a “hoping I make it in the industry” way, but to help my family that’s here. I’ve been doing door dash to make up for income but someone opened their door while I was on a scooter and I cracked my head open and dislocated my knee. I can walk with a limp but I can’t door dash and my current remote position is cutting everyones hours.
The majority of my work history is in North Carolina and I think that’s possibly why I’m not getting many hits, even for entry level positions. I’m open to hybrid or office settings too, but I have a scar on my face now that wouldnt really do me any favors in LA.. here’s a redacted copy of my resume if anyone has any tips? Thank you! 🙏🏾

I've been underemployed since college, trapped in restaurants, for some reason never being able to find a decent full time job. NYC is too expensive for me, but i'm trapped here waiting tables slowly, slowly saving money, trying to plan my escape and figure out a career once and for all. The only plan that makes sense in my head is finding an entry level remote job in tech / finance, then moving to a way cheaper part of the country, paying off my debt, and saving money, and finding some shred of privacy & some semblance of quality of life.
I'd love to speak with anybody who has any knowledge of remote jobs, any tips or tricks for finding something entry level, or any advice what so ever. I'm really tired of struggling and being an underpaid abused slave even with a bachelors degree and a brain. It's dehumanizing and beyond depressing. I know I could be an asset to any company, I'm intelligent, I can talk to people, all of the things. It just seems like everything is "who you know".
I've considered learning programming because I know software engineers make very good money, and I need to enter an industry where there is room for advancement, to move up and make more money eventually. But i'm not going to lie, i'm a little all over the place, because everyone I know is also a miserable working class slave that has no knowledge about anything business related.
Id love to speak with anybody who might have some advice for finding remote work, or if by chance anybody is hiring or knows of anybody hiring. Thank you so much for any help you can provide and happy thanksgiving to you all.
I just got accepted to a job at a company I saw an ad for online (fb buy sell trade in my area) and the company looks legit. They say that I have to get $3,500 of materials and whatnot for the job which makes sense, but they're saying that they're gonna put the funds into my credit card or something and then they'll give me the company vendor's address. I was thinking that this was legit but it's seeming less and less like it
Does anyone know any remote jobs that is entry level? I don't know if this is the right sub to post it on but I can't be to vocal about it yet but my son can't go to daycare anymore after a incident happened at the daycare yesterday. I'm going to need to stay at home now that I don't trust daycares anymore.
Was wondering if anyone knew any good places? Needing something ASAP thank you everyone for reading
I’m in Texas, the DFW area if that makes a difference.
Looking to work remote because it would benefit my current lifestyle a lot more, but I have no idea what I would do. I have only worked in the food service industry for 10+ years . Thank you so much
Hello everyone! I'm a college student taking a break this upcoming semester. I'm looking for a good way to make money remotely on the computer/over the phone. I have no experience with data entry but am skilled at typing, can retrieve information, and have access to a good workspace and high-speed internet. I have basic literacy when it comes to spreadsheets and whatnot as well. I have applied to a couple remote customer service positions already since I have a couple years of experience with customer service, but looking for some more places. Any recommendations?
I am looking for a recruiter's opportunity. I try to break into the field, but there aren't many near me. If anyone gives me a lead or tells me where to look, I really appreciate it. I absolutely love the community and how friendly is it, reading your subreddit is the reason I want to be a recruiter, so thank you.
You can dm me for a resume.
Thank you ahead of time.
I really would prefer a remote, work from home job. I know traditionally it was frowned upon to work from home your first year in the business but I think after Covid maybe things have changed? Would I be able to work from home as an entry level financial advisor or analyst? Preferably a 9-5 job aswell. Im in Long Island NY by the way and just passed my series 7 and 63
Hello all:
I am a WGU student, about 1/2 way through my BS in Software Development. I plan to accelerate and finish up by May, or this summer at the latest.
However, my job situation is shaky. It has been since Covid started. I've pieced together a bit of this and that, but I really need a FT job by the middle of January or things will start looking dire.
So I thought I'd try and network here with fellow WGU students and alums. Does anyone know of any remote jobs that pay decently ($18+/hr)? My only requirement is that it has to be remote. It doesn't have to be tech-related, although that would be ideal, of course. I have 10 years of customer service related experience, 5 years of search engine evaluation for a Google subcontractor, 6 years of QA for UserTesting (and more).
I will say that I am at my best when I communicate through writing vs phones, but I'm open to almost whatever, except perhaps sales (I am honestly just really really bad at sales pitches).
If anyone has any leads or ideas, please let me know. Feel free to PM if you prefer.
Thanks!
Hey all, I’m a painter based in Brooklyn and work 3 part time jobs at the moment. I’m sick of commuting and need fund ASAP as the service industry/in-person gigs are really slow during this time of year. I have basic knowledge of Adobe (photoshop, illustrator), Excel, and have done customer service jobs in the past. I’m great with problem and doing really repetitive tasks and love anything that lets me creatively problem-solve.
Really looking to get into some sort of wfh design job with little remote experience I’m having trouble figuring out where to start.
Any leads appreciated.
Thank you
As title said, I got a job offer. The pay is a bit high compared to other similar positions but consider they ask for minimum 4 hours of work every weekday, I didn't find it too strange.
I applied for this on Indeed. The recruiter's language seems to be very professional with no grammar error. He asked for image of my Gov ID (I used driver's license), proof of address and void cheque.
I signed the Employment Contract and even tried to ring the number given in the contract and someone did pick up. Again, Canadian accent, professional attitude.
However, I am a bit skeptical because like I said, the pay is too high. They also mentioned that Gracorp will be responsible for installing my home office but when I emailed Gracorp, they told me they have no association with the company (could be because Aurinia hasn't contacted them for the installing job yet, idk).
Anyway, my concern is that with the info I have given them, can they do any harm to me? I'll be posting the Employment Contract content (remove personal info obviously) in the comment as well so you guys can see
Thanks
So, I'm in my mid 30's and I'm an extreme late bloomer due to mental health issues. Went to school for CS at 24 and had a mental breakdown, decided to study online a year later. The courses were awful - on campus wasnt much better but the online courses boiled down to read a chapter then do questions/assignment. Book learning is awful, especially for something hands on like CS.
Due to funding limitations I constantly had to scale back what I was studying for. It was no longer a degree, but then a 2 yr diploma. Eventually just a 1 yr certificate. I couldn't accept debt because if I had an issue while working I'd be screwed in more ways than just not having a job. The 'certificate' is an IT certificate but there was absolutely no IT in the courses, however I learned a lot of troubleshooting skills on my own over the years. In April 2020 I finally graduated, I felt nothing. There was no job market, and IT jobs in my area are already few and far between. I was studying for a CCNA during that time and the exam center here(300km away) cancelled in-person exams. It wasn't until months later that Pearson allowed people to do online exams, at that point all that studying was out the window due to no tangible way to practice.
I contacted our provincial job agency thing and they couldn't find anything that wasn't already on a job posting website. The first interview I did get was with two very confrontational recruiters who said I likely wasn't getting the position without a 4 year degree, yet the position paid $17/hr. The position was more or less assembling networks based on customer and manager specifications before it was shipped out to them. No other companies called me back. I managed to get a job at a lab doing grunt work but ended up having a constant, severe panic attack and had to put my notice in.
I've applied to remote positions but most of them appear to have over 100+ applicants and I can't see any way I'm going to stack up. Most of the remote positions in Canada are temporarily remote and I can't justify moving to say, Vancouver or Toronto for a job that pays 45k-55k/yr, if that, if they decide to call in employees.
I'm at a loss of what to do, there are simply no entry level, help desk positions here. If there are, there are dozens of eager candidates that are more qualified than me. I constantly feel like I'm running out of time and suicide is becoming more and more like a viable option.
I'm trying to find a second job, to help pay off my credit card and then save up some money to move.
I've tried finding jobs close enough to my area that also don't conflict with my other job but I'm not having any luck. I figured there's gotta be some, decently paying remote/work from home job that doesn't require some fancy degree.
I'm not expecting some really great job with awesome benefits. Just something that can decently help me save up money for the year.
I recently moved to Sherman Texas from Las Vegas Nevada. But in my current area help desk is scarce and hard to come by.
Indeed and others seems to be a little tough to even get something going with minimal experience.
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated!

Hello there, I’m transitioning out of teaching for personal reasons and I highly desire a WFH job. I think recruiting would be a great field for my personality and skill set. Will attaining a remote entry level recruiting position be possible for someone like me who doesn’t have any previous experience in the industry? If so, does anyone have any tips to find one? Maybe certain companies to suggest. Thanks!
I am looking for some international remote jobs. So what jobs in IT are gonna boom in the year 2022 which are available for freshers importantly.
Can anyone help me? I need a part time or even full time remote Data Entry position. I really want to work remotely and it would be great for me while I'm in college. I have previous experience with Data Entry using Salesforce, Microsoft Excel, and Print Stream. Thank you!
I'm 27 male living in the United States. I currently work as a secuirty guard and looking for a career change. Since this pandemic I want to work from home and will want to keep doing remote work. I also have a disability and since I've been looking online most of the jobs seem to be remote IT, programming, or coding. I don't have a lot of work experience I've done security most of my work career, I've done unpaid intern at a computer repair shop, done some store work. I also have 3 to 4 years of community College I've went to. But none of what I learned applied to work from home jobs. I don't mind learning a new skill while I work remotely. Or take a low skilled job and learning my way up. But so far most of the ones I've seen are data entry or virtual bookkeeping which seemed interesting. I would like to know what are some other options I could do?
My original start date was 11/8. Has been pushed back to 11/29. I was hired as data entry for specialty pharmacy. I am supposed to do one week of training at their office, and then work from home going forward from there. Anyone in similar situation?
Title pretty much explains it. I'm in a position where I pretty much need a remote job and I'm graduating this May. My concentration is in Managment, but all of the management positions I've found that are remote want me to have at least 2 years experience in management already
The title basically! I am newly graduated and just landed a candidate sourcing role at a big recruiting company. One of the things I’m most looking forward to is getting enough experience under my belt to work remotely. How much experience did you have to have before you were able to work from home? I’m hoping I can make that work a few years out with my current company, but if not I will be jumping ship at some point.
Thank you!
How easy or hard is it to find such a job opportunities? Considering I have a portfolio and completed the google certificate of ux design on coursera?
Hey guys, I'm planning on leaving my current fast food job as soon as I save up enough money for a bit. I'm getting married and having a kid, and I'd prefer to be able to have my wife stay at home, but right now I'm working up to and sometimes more than 50 hours a week and I'm still not making enough to support us both. I'd like to have an online job or a job that can give me room to grow or earn skills, I'm just not sure where to start with that. Any ideas of positions I can apply for or places I can go to train?
