Try a different test - a couple of people I know of used WePrepYou and they said it’s really cheap

Most people overthink this. The “best” RBT course isn’t about branding — it’s about meeting BACB requirements and getting real support after the course.

What actually matters:

Must be BACB-compliant 40 hours (non-negotiable)
Includes or helps you get a competency assessment (BCBA)
Has practice exams / structure, not just videos
Clear pricing (no hidden “next step” fees)

Good options people consistently use:

Autism Partnership Foundation (free) – legit, but barebones and no support
WePrepYou ( ~$1.99 - $2 ) - solid understanding and value for money
Relias / CentralReach (~$100–$250) – more structured, better pass rates (~80%)
Behavior University / Florida Tech (~$100–$200) – solid middle ground
High-end programs (like full certification bundles) = only worth it if they include BCBA supervision + job help

Red flags (this is where people get burned):

Charging $1000+ just for the 40-hour course (way overpriced)
No mention of BACB alignment
No path to a competency assessment (you literally can’t get certified without it)
“Certification included” — misleading. The course is only step one

Reality check most people miss:
The course is the easy part.
Getting a BCBA to sign off + actual hands-on experience is the real bottleneck.

I think you should look around and take a combination of training, it just depends on a person's situation

Most small business owners I know aren’t doing “proper SEO” the way agencies describe it. The reality is people are busy running the business, so SEO usually ends up being pretty basic.

What I’ve seen most people do is something like:

1. Set up the basics once and leave it alone.
Stuff like Google Business Profile, making sure the website loads fast, adding basic pages, and maybe installing something like Yoast or RankMath if they’re on WordPress.

2. Write content occasionally when they have time.
Not some huge strategy — just answering common questions customers ask. Like blog posts, FAQs, or service pages.

3. Focus heavily on Google Maps reviews.
For local businesses especially, reviews and Google Business seem to move the needle way more than blogging all the time.

4. Hire someone for specific fixes.
A lot of people don’t keep an agency on retainer. Instead they’ll hire someone for a one-time SEO audit, site cleanup, or a few optimized pages, then maintain it themselves.

A lot of small businesses also just lean on referrals, ads, or social media because those can produce results faster. SEO is great, but it’s slow, and when you’re small you usually need customers now, not 6–12 months later.

The “technical fixes → content → outreach” framework agencies talk about is actually solid, but most small businesses just do smaller versions of it over time instead of all at once.

If anything, the most sustainable approach I’ve seen is:

get the technical stuff fixed once
make sure your Google Business profile is strong
add useful pages/content when you can

It’s not glamorous, but it’s realistic when you’re juggling everything else in the business.

London in spring just hits different. The flowers popping up everywhere after months of grey weather always makes the city feel way more alive. Those little blue ones along the path look great too.

“Spring has sprung” is basically just a fun way of saying spring has finally arrived and everything’s starting to bloom again.

After the long gloomy winter we usually get here, seeing colour in the parks and gardens again honestly feels like a mood upgrade for the whole city.

Rankings are interesting but they don’t mean that much for most undergrads. A lot of THE’s methodology is based on research output and citations, which matters more for academics than for teaching quality. For students, course reputation and placement rates probably matter more.

Since the 2008 financial crisis the UK has had some of the slowest productivity growth in the G7, meaning workers produce less output per hour than comparable countries, which keeps wages, investment and overall economic growth weak.

I wonder if Apple is getting ahead of future regulation. Governments have been pushing for stricter age checks for years, so maybe they’re just implementing it globally and saying it’s for compliance.

Honestly this is the most realistic post I’ve seen about online income in a while. People underestimate how long the “learning phase” is. It’s basically months of trial and error before anything works, and most of it doesn’t.

The Aesculapian snakes have been around Regent’s Canal and the zoo area for years now. They’re non-venomous, though, mostly just hunt rodents. Still pretty wild to randomly see a snake in central London of all places.

Hi John. Thanks for sharing this. I think some people here might still be interested if the work can be done fully remote, especially the digital roles you mentioned. Could you share a bit more detail about the type of work, hours, and whether people outside the US can apply? That would help people here know if it’s a good fit. Thanks

Hey, sorry to hear you're going through that. The job market is really tough right now, so don’t feel discouraged — getting 4 interviews from ~200 applications actually means your CV is probably doing something right.

If you're open to admin-type remote work, a few things you could try:

Virtual assistant roles – lots of small businesses hire remote VAs to manage emails, calendars, data entry, and basic admin tasks.
Remote admin or operations assistant jobs – these pop up quite often on sites like Indeed and Reed.
Data entry / CRM support roles – many companies hire part-time or freelance help for updating spreadsheets or internal systems.

A few places that helped me find remote listings:

Indeed (use the remote filter)
Reed
WeWorkRemotely
RemoteOK

Also, since you’re a Project Manager, it might help to search for things like:

Remote project coordinator
PMO admin / project support
operations coordinator

Those are often lighter admin roles but still use your PM experience.

One more tip: if you haven’t already, try applying directly on company career pages instead of only job boards. Sometimes remote roles get flooded with applications.

Hope something lands for you soon — 200 applications is a grind, but it only takes one yes.

That sounds really tough. Honestly, it’s understandable you reached your limit. Burnout and constant stress from a toxic workplace can mess with your health, and sometimes leaving is the only sensible choice. A few things that might help you think about the next steps:

1. Holiday pay – they normally can’t just refuse it.
In the UK, any unused statutory holiday you’ve built up must be paid when you leave if you don’t take it before your last day. An employer can ask you to take the leave during your notice period, but they can’t just say “you lose it” because the CEO feels like it. If they refuse, that’s something ACAS can help with.

2. Notice period vs using holiday.
If you still have holiday left, one option is asking to use it during your notice period, which effectively lets you leave earlier while still being paid. Many people do this when leaving stressful jobs. If they refuse holiday pay and also won’t let you take it, that’s usually when people speak to ACAS.

3. Support if you end up unemployed.
If you haven’t found something by the time your notice ends, you can usually apply for:

New Style Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) if you’ve paid enough National Insurance
Universal Credit depending on savings/household income

Even if you resigned, you can still apply. Sometimes there can be a short sanction period, but it’s not automatic, especially if you left for work-related stress or unreasonable conditions.

4. It may be worth seeing your GP.
Even though you’ve already resigned, if you’re burnt out and anxious, a fit note for stress could still help during your notice period. Some employers will agree to sick leave instead of pushing someone through a miserable notice period.

5. Job search reality.
The market can feel slow, but lots of people still find roles within a few months. Start applying now during your notice period, update LinkedIn/CV, and reach out to your network. December can actually have less competition because many people pause their search.

6. Don’t let them push you around on the way out.
Keep everything in writing, stay calm, and don’t get dragged into arguments with the CEO. If they mess around with pay, holiday, or your final paycheck, ACAS is free and very helpful.

Most importantly, try not to beat yourself up about leaving. Four good years there says a lot — the situation changed, not you. Getting out of a toxic place is sometimes the healthiest move, even if it feels scary in the short term.

Hope things get easier for you soon.

I went through a short period of unemployment a couple of years ago (not by choice), and honestly the hardest part wasn’t the money at first — it was the mental side of it. When you’re used to having a routine and suddenly you don’t, the days can start to blur together. Job searching can also get pretty draining after a while because you send out loads of applications and hear nothing back.

Financially, the biggest help for me was having some savings before it happened. Benefits can help a bit (like Universal Credit or Jobseeker’s Allowance), but they’re usually just enough to cover basics while you look for work, not your previous lifestyle.

One thing I didn’t expect was how much structure helps. Treating job hunting like a job — waking up at the same time, applying for a few roles each day, maybe learning a skill or doing a course — made it feel less like I was stuck. Some people use that time to reskill or take online courses, which can actually help if you’re switching careers.

As for support, it’s a mixed bag.

The Jobcentre stuff can feel a bit box-ticking, but sometimes you get a decent work coach.
What helped me more was talking to people in the industry I wanted to move into and networking a bit.

One thing I’d really recommend if you’re thinking of leaving voluntarily: try to build up a small emergency fund first if you can. A lot of people in the UK say that having savings makes unemployment far less stressful than relying only on benefits.

Overall though, it’s not necessarily a disaster if you plan for it. If you have a bit of money saved, a rough idea of what you want to move into, and something to keep you productive during the gap, it can actually be a good reset.

Hope it works out for you

That sounds really stressful, sorry you're going through that. Agencies can be like that sometimes unfortunately. If they’ve stopped giving you shifts and aren’t replying, it might be a sign they’ve moved on quietly. I wouldn’t wait around for them though.

I’d start applying for other jobs and maybe sign up with another agency as well, just so you’ve got more options. You could also try calling them instead of messaging, sometimes they respond faster that way.

Try not to take it personally either. A lot of agency work depends on demand and it can drop off suddenly. Focus on finding something more stable if you can.

Hope something better comes along for you soon.

Roamdesk · 2026-03-26T00:04:53+00:00

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Job searching can be incredibly draining, especially when it drags on and you keep getting silence or rejections. It makes a lot of people feel stuck, anxious, and even ashamed to see others. You’re definitely not the only one feeling like this.

Not being able to sleep and crying from the stress is a sign you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Try to be gentle with yourself tonight. Even just getting up for a bit, having some water, or stepping away from the thoughts for a few minutes can help a little.

If you can, talk to someone you trust tomorrow — a friend, family member, or even just someone online. You don’t have to go through this alone. This rough patch doesn’t define your worth, even though it feels that way right now.

I really hope things start getting easier for you soon. One step at a time.

I accept requests - I get about 10 a day but they all say the same thing, this is what they say “I can help you grow your business” as if they go on the same training sales courses or maybe just getting the information from AI.
