I'm currently on the job hunt and the market looks completely different than when I was applying 5 years ago. I submitted 20 applications and haven’t heard back from any of them.

What advice do you have for me to get a job in this brutal market? My friends told me to use tools like ApplyHero AI to automatically apply to jobs, and Simplify to automatically fill out the forms. What else should I try?

Thanks in advance!

I just signed up, and i'm seeing all these available jobs that you can qualifiy for, but after reading some reviews on here about past workers, I have a feeling most of these are a waste of time and they pay very low. Is this true, or are there a few jobs that are worth applying to?

Hey, I've been looking into document digitisation for a while. I've previously done some transcriptioning on Trove and I realised I like doing it, so now I'm trying to see if I could get paid for doing such services.

If anyone knows any good websites, that'll be greatly appreciated. TranscribeMe and GoTranscribe are always full and not accepting new people. I've looked at a few sites but they're not accepting English transcribers.

I was employed by RaterLabs Inc. working on Project Yukon before the shutdown in March. I had my Paycom account set so I only received my W-2 digitally, but since I'm no longer an employee, I can't access my account to obtain my W-2 for this year. I can't find any contact information for HR, so does anyone know how I will get my W-2?

I really don't want to get my husband and I audited by not reporting that income on our tax return.

Has anyone ever tried them and how long did it take to get a response? I didn't get one so I guess their not hiring and I have no experience. I just wish I would've gotten an email saying sorry no. Im disabled and in debt and disability not enough. I know I will loose it but I'm desperate I guess. 🫠😖 Guess a rant.

I've been looking for remote work for a long time now. I would say for over a year.
Last January (2024), I applied to be a captioner with Rev. It's currently December 2024, almost Jan 2025.
Does anybody know what I can do in the meantime? How long does rev take to reply?

Hello, I’ve been working on the Latana project on Appen for three weeks now, and I haven’t received any payment yet. I’ve reached out to their support team, but no one has been able to assist me. Has anyone else had any experience with Appen and can recommend someone I should contact? I’ve submitted multiple tickets, but I haven’t received any resolution or any actual answers.

I am just trying to see if anyone on here has any experience with work from home positions that relate to education, family or child development, social work, ext. I’ve been researching but I want to cover all my bases, maybe I’m missing something that’s out there. Or even suggestions on remote work for a very burnt out teacher. Thank you!!

I graduated high school a few years ago and have had complications trying to get into college. I kinda hate just living with my mom and getting no income so i want a job but it seems ofc all jobs require some type of experience or bachelors and I have none.

Is there any options for me?

I have an interview for Alorica, Friday morning. From what I’ve heard, it’s easy (the interview.) Foundever just sent me an email saying that looked at my app and resume and want me to take their assessment. Does anyone have an experience in either of these Jobs? If so, which one do you prefer?

I'm not sure if this post fits in this sub but I am curious on what you guys think are the most meaningful/impactful ways to connect to employees of a company you would like to work at when you don't have a specific connection to them. Thanks!

Hello, I graduated with a health degree and have been working in healthcare for a while now. The job is very demanding in all aspects. I'm wondering if there are any online jobs that I can do that relate to healthcare or if my skills from this field will be able to transfer into being useful for an online job. Any suggestions of places that I could apply to with this skill set?

Hey,

Has anyone worked at working solution as customer service representative, intuit turbo tax

Can you please tell me you're experience?

Thank you.

Curious if these actually work / have weight on your resume.

By online courses I mean ones offered by universities and not some online entrepreneur cash grab dumbo.

I suppose it's better than nothing but I'd like to hear the common person's feedback on them.

Hello!

This may not yield much, but I’ve ran into something I love doing. And thought maybe I could use it to help others while also making a little bit of extra cash.

Truth is, I love researching. I love learning about new and different areas of interest. It’s a nice opportunity to be able to expand the mind & gain new knowledge.

But, I’m struggling to think of ways I can utilize this. Anyone got any ideas?

Please advice of any job offers, thanks!

I'm currently looking for a remote admin assistant, HR assistant, or Scheduling assistant. I have noticed how competitive the field is. I'd love some advice on how to stand out or make myself a stronger candidate.

I have over 10 years of experience in customer service and sales- have a background in admin support. I'm skilled at managing schedules, organization, and attention to detail. But I am wondering if I should learn a new skill or specialize in something specific to make myself more marketable.

For those in the field or hiring for these roles: What skills or certifications are most valuable right now? Are there tools or software I should master? Any tips for making my application or LinkedIn profile more appealing?

I'd really appreciate any guidance or insights. Thanks so much in advance

Has anyone had the tech scan stall at 50% - getting system information? For context, I have a brand new HP laptop with Windows 11 home edition, 8 G RAM, plenty of disk space and hard wired to internet. I have tried disabling the windows firewall, uninstalling and reinstalling the WSOL scanner and removed the McAfee that came preinstalled. Rebooted the computer a million times and tried again. The scan breezes through the internet speed test and then hangs up. I have tried emailing my contact person who keeps looking at scan results from my old laptop that I ultimately replaced with my new one. The old computer only had 4 G RAM which of course failed the scan. I have exhausted all solutions that I know to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a potential promotion that will force us to relocate from the Midwest to the Southeast. Wife and kids are onboard, but my wife is a bit stuck when it comes to looking for a new position so I figured I’d try here.

She’s worked in Law Enforcement for 12 years … street cop, sergeant, school liaison… she’s ready to get out of it, but doesn’t know where to go or what to look for.

Policing in the south doesn’t pay well at all compared to where we’re at and she’s ready to be done. She’d make over $100k staying here. Curious if anyone has suggestions that can even net 75% of something like that and what field she might try looking into.

Thanks for any input…
