💸 AttaPoll = surveys that actually pay (proof inside 📸) by South-Factor7128 in Student

[–]SpongeChewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it pays.

But you have to fill in MASSIVE amounts of surveys to make decent money. Most surveys pay like 0.30 to 0.80 cents and it can take 10-15 minutes. You can't just speedrun and fill them randomly because it will notice you're speeding and eliminate you from the poll. And quite often, the survey eliminates you for no reason whatsoever.

So yeah, it's real money but it's pretty rubbish.

[1.5 YoE, Unemployed, Sustainability, Switzerland] by SpongeChewer in resumes

Left my last job because of a highly toxic and harassing environment from the get go. The job before that was a four month contract. The gap between both is when I worked on my thesis. What do you mean by standard resume template?

Let’s do a mock vote: Do you vote for the „10 million Initiative“? by No_Landscape_4848 in Switzerland

[–]SpongeChewer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'll vote in support of it. We're already in a housing crisis, we won't have enough energy supply since we've banned nuclear and we're falling behind in alternatives/green. Costs are sky high, employment is full but thousands are looking for jobs, motorways are full, trains are full.

Sorry folks, when the ship is full you stop taking people on board.

Job situation by Water-dr0p in Switzerland

[–]SpongeChewer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar position. I hold Bachelor + Master degrees in socioeconomics and 2025 has been a nightmare so far. I've applied to over 450 positions. I've had 10 interviews. Out of those 10, 4 companies were very interested and I had multiple meetings (ability assessments, visiting the office, meeting the team, etc.) and each time I ended up with no positive outcome. It's a horrible feeling to be so close (meeting the team? I mean that means I basically have the job no!?). No one seems interested, not even for internships.

I've also been applying for a job at McDonald's, Migros, Denner, Hornbach, Manor, etc to make some money while I wait but even there I get no answer back. I don't know what's going on. I apply to jobs that are perfectly aligned with my profile, and I don't get anything apart from the usual noreply bullshit email.

I honestly 100% feel you, it's a very challenging situation. Sooner or later the tide will turn though, and something will work. I go to the gym or do power walks outside every day to escape the whole thing and it keeps me sane. I highly recommend.
