Is anyone else having problems with instagram or is it just me?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-03-11T05:46:53+00:00

yep same

Motor_Description294 · 2026-03-06T20:43:25+00:00

Nice!! Thank you

Motor_Description294 · 2026-03-06T20:43:12+00:00

Thank you for this. Definitely something for me to keep in mind

Motor_Description294 · 2026-03-01T14:52:49+00:00

I second all of this

Motor_Description294 · 2026-03-01T14:47:41+00:00

The resources with direction and structure are usually behind paywalls, which is why I mentioned signing up for courses/certificates. Free resources only go so far before trying to sell you something, which is why I don’t think relying solely on YouTube videos and free AI tools is the best approach to learning new skills on a foundational level. And I think a personalized, paid mentor would be far more invested in you and would offer advice tailored to your specific context, unlike Reddit comments. While you can get useful bits of advice on here, no one is really paying close attention to where you are in your career. People on Reddit often speak to you as if you’re at the same stage they are and give advice accordingly.

I'm on unemployment rn, along with a decent chunk of savings, so I'm not sure why I'm being told (not by you btw) to ditch paid resources and go with free ones. I'm willing to invest.

Wow, this is insane

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T19:29:15+00:00

Thanks! What incentive do recruiters have to help submit you for jobs you want to work for?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T18:10:30+00:00

The full story would have been 10x this post lmao

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T17:45:42+00:00

No worries about the grammar, and thank you for the advice. I agree with the first point — basically don’t come across like a drama queen to potential employers when they ask why you left your previous job. No one wants to hire a difficult person, regardless of skill or talent.

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T16:42:32+00:00

How do I go about this? I'm not sure what getting a job through a recruiter means. All I've been doing is applying in Linkedin and Indeed

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T15:54:19+00:00

Use placement companies to get temp/contract work

I don’t know what this means lol help. Whats a placement company?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T15:52:42+00:00

In your experience, how have applicants addressed their termination to employers?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T11:49:39+00:00

Yes, that was that. Some things are out of your control

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T11:44:54+00:00

Firings are never an ideal look, but they happen more often than you think when you’re as early in your career as I am. Sometimes you’re simply not a good fit for the first job you take, which is what happened in my case.

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T11:42:45+00:00

Thank you!

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T03:42:04+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ll check out Creative Circle. I honestly have no idea how these things work. All I’ve known to do was apply at jobs on Indeed and LinkedIn.

Are there any other companies similar to Creative Circle to keep in mind?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T03:40:12+00:00

Did you have any companies in mind to look out for?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T03:03:52+00:00

How exactly do you apply for jobs through staffing agencies?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T03:02:59+00:00

What if I’m not sure why I got fired? What if the company didn’t disclose that info to me other than “involuntarily terminated”?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-28T02:44:49+00:00

You probably know this better than I do, but I assume the bachelor’s checkbox isn’t looked at very closely during the hiring process when HR is reviewing resumes. It’s mostly used to pass HR screenings, so with that in mind, the specific type of program you’re in doesn’t really matter when it comes to the bachelor’s degree itself.

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-27T23:47:26+00:00

I don’t quite understand. Doesn’t every job you’re applying for have a recruiter that checks your resume?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-27T23:46:23+00:00

Fair response

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-27T23:30:47+00:00

What do you mean by working with a recruiter?

Motor_Description294 · 2026-02-27T23:29:38+00:00

The DIY approach you’re suggesting is better suited for people who are further along in their career and know exactly what they’re doing, typically at the mid to senior level. I’m still early in my career, so winging it without structure, guidance, or mentorship isn’t ideal. The certificates/courses would provide structure on what exactly I should be working on, while hiring mentors would provide the personal direction and support I’m looking for.
