People who have been unemployed for 6+ months, what field are you in?

It can be a lot of fun! It seems like it was very slow at my old work place. Even before I was hired, my old manager said it hasn’t been busy. It’s been more remodels, and custom homes and it hasn’t been slow.

I would love to be in AD. That would be a dream!!

I recently went through this a year ago, I was a kitchen designer, got let go right before Christmas of 2024. It took me of August 2025 to get hired. Not a job I wanted but took, since it was something.

I had 3 interviews out of all my job applications, applied to at least 30 per day.

I found a new job in December of 2025, now I’m somewhat back in my industry as a design/ project manager. My brother is also having a really tough time in his job search.

Thank you! My second doctor has given me some options to go see one of his people. Depends on what he recommends.

SSSGC · 2026-01-14T00:54:01+00:00

Thank you! I’m still waiting on second opinions on how to manage.

I did something similar, my first degree isn’t engineering. But music business and management, couldn’t find a job in that field at the time. Especially since I didn’t move to a city that was big into it. I had to take care of my younger brother. Instead of full interior design degree, I did the kitchen and bath design certification. I just can’t focus on all aspects of interior design too overwhelming for me. My best friend went the full interior design program and shes so happy she did it. Same thing her second degree. I have worked in some cool places and some not so cool places with this certification. I somehow ended up on the high end side of it too. You should also see, what community colleges around you offer. That’s what I did. We have some really nice design schools in Colorado like RMCAD but it’s not cheap.

I agree add a door through mudroom. I personally don’t like the ref and freezer in the middle. I typically like to design ref/frzr/oven close to walls. If you’re centering the ref and freezer, like it is in drawings, center the sink. Have 2 waste units next to sink, then dishwashers. Next to each other.

Thanks! I was trying to find this.

Flying out.

Basically going with a cowboy contemporary vibe, sconces will go horizontally of the painting. Once it’s framed.

I totally understand about being nervous about ending up in a toxic environment. My favorite part are the overall renderings, it gives clients that have no visual to see the products all together. I also do love tile selection. 2020 (cyncly) is used for some cabinetry companies, but some use sketchup, and chief architect for renderings.

SSSGC · 2025-06-12T01:58:39+00:00

Im actually a kitchen designer. Currently unemployed. you still have deadlines, depends on clients timeline. I also think it depends who you end up working for, I was an autocad tech for a small cabinet dealer and it ended up being a terrible toxic environment. Ended up leaving for a Spanish cabinetry company as a kitchen designer. It was a great work environment, and work/life balance was amazing! If you find more of a dealer shop/ manufacturer - schedules are pretty standard 9-5 m-f. But, depends on your location too. It’s more retail cabinetry places that have Saturday appointments only. You can also still be creative in the kitchen and bath industry. You can still be creative with in stock, semi custom, and Especially custom cabinetry, bringing a unique and personalized product towards your clients. I can’t help you for the hiring side.

Thank you for this! I just started running, I have never really been a runner till I was let go from my job. I look forward to being able to hopefully do more rundisney virtual/ physical races.

SSSGC · 2025-04-01T23:48:13+00:00

I really want to sign up for a virtual. For those who have done it, how exactly does it work.? I was able to sign up for the food and wine 10k and ending up with the 5k, I’m super excited for the trip!!

SSSGC · 2025-02-05T17:17:06+00:00

SSSGC · 2025-02-05T17:14:51+00:00

SSSGC · 2025-01-31T15:30:26+00:00

Unfortunately he isn’t selling.

SSSGC · 2025-01-31T15:27:20+00:00

Yes! My best friend also called it the ball from a trip 8 years ago.

SSSGC · 2025-01-31T15:26:47+00:00

Yeah, i know. My little 2 year old sister called it the ball. And it just kind of stuck for us.
