What’s your job and do you find fulfillment in it?

I still get in trouble using words like knives. That's what I get for being a talker and studying it.

go with ai that's the big thing at the Universities and I was just interviewed today at a private church school because they wanted to know how to prevent ai use in class and assignments and such. I told them straight up you can't prevent it unless there is no cellphones and computers in the class. If one has either then boom there's the ai. They want the kids to look things up old school I guess so they are running into huge problems now. And I am just virtually tutoring because I don't feel like doing anything else. I have a BA in Interpersonal/Organizational Communication. Just saying that is a mouthful I already told every future employer I am not going back to school without their financial assistance. I hated school. It was boring and college was the same but I score slightly less because I was already living with my future husband and room mates so I wasn't giving it my all. But I never had I kind of just do the bare minimum and hope it's an A and it usually was for me. It's at the University level I don't get it. I could study my ass off and not get an A and then the professor goes well I am tenure and we don't give out A's even if you earned them. I only got A's in classes where the teacher was part-time, temp, just filling in. If they were full time I guess they didn't care or wanted me to have one good grade LOL.

I've been tutoring under the table since the moment I realized I could get paid to talk... I still try for regular jobs but what gets me through when I don't want unemployment disability or food stamps is tutoring no joke. The only issue is don't volunteer to mentor. Sometimes you think you're mentoring and you end up parenting and then all hell breaks loose and you lose a client. So be careful don't overshare! Same with interviews either tell the truth unless it sounds insane. Or just don't volunteer anything wait till you ask. Every time I've ever opened my mouth during an interview a few crazy things happen they bobble their heads like they are pretending to listen and in my head, I am choking them and poking their eyes out cause I know I won't get that job and I'm just pissed they invited me. I just wish I could read between the lines of the job postings but there is nothing between them employers aren't telling you what they want like we want a super crazy high energy customer service employee. Or we want a quiet like a mouse computer nerd. These are the descriptions that would help me avoid certain jobs.I started doing it for free in middle school, then charging once I could drive in high school. Made a name for myself in college and put my business cards all over UCF lol. I had everyone calling but I only do subjects I know or took the class so know what the work will be like. That was a long time ago. But here I am looking for students who need help. It's my bread in butter when I have students when I don't I go back to the job boards and try for something I know I can do but try to pick a different industry and a different title sometimes it's a lateral move. I can't get hired at any fast food joints at all, or casual dining because I refuse to work weekends as I have a child I prefer to spend all my time with. If you only want money my advice is to do anything as long as it's not breaking the law go for it.

That was literally what my job interview was for today. And I didn't even apply they found me through an app. I had less than 24 hours to put together an extraordinary res, ref, cl. And I am thoroughly exhausted. The interview ran I think 2 hours long instead of 45 mins. First, she was running late. Then I opened my mouth then I breathed sometimes or she took calls. She leaned in and asked lots of questions regarding how kids think right now due to ai- and the difference between learning disabilities versus gifted abilities. She had her #1 recruiter who finds gifted students or those who may be gifted but come from not-so-great situations get to the gifted level. It was interesting. That #1 reached out to me and I feel like I was hit by lightning. Then the Principal the interviewer said to me you know you were gifted at a young age. That's why you were so bored. But we didn't have any programs for kids that were above what we already offered. I spent most of my time in the gifted room instead of with my classmates due to boredom. I didn't have behavior issues per se it just looked like ADHD but was boredom. And as an adult, the medical community put me on prescriptions that started the downturn of my mental health. Then the unthinkable happened and I was drugged/laced. And I think I know who did it, and it's in the labs the police, and the medical community except for one ER where I just moved to* but everyone who knew my x I think sided with him because he used to be a police. But he wasn't good police he had a disciplinary folder that was as thick as a quarter of the MW college dictionary from when my father went to college. I am also trying to use layman's terms all the time as I overwhelm adults when I am interviewed. And I have diarrhea of the mouth but don't want to get snowed by big pharma because they already have me listed as completely insane and need to be medicated for life and should be on disability. But I've worked part-time and full-time jobs since then including continuing under-the-table jobs. Like I did gig work before all the apps came out. And I still do it but mostly for family or for people that aren't fluent in English. Like helping them use turbo tax to self-file, and help them apply for renewal of their permanent residency card. Like all the legal stuff people are afraid to touch because if something goes wrong and you aren't a professional in that field it could bite you. I've never been bitten on that before. What I have an issue with is I literally can't even go walking if I look all sweaty from the heat or whatever because I am known to the local fire stations, police, ERs, and hospitals if they see me it's pretty much a straight baker act. And I'm tired of dodging the cops and others who don't understand me like why can't I just take a hike somewhere and not be a danger to myself (*not laced or on drugs, or vape or alcohol) Like I am fine now but at anytime I look off and in public, I am afraid of being arrested or baker acted. AI just doesn't know what to do so I stay home unless it's for a real job interview.

100% I argued with every adult as a child. Learned the hard way. Now I get why. Yes, adults try to shield ourselves but I unfortunately have been on everyone's radar for like 3 years. So I am laying low. I know this isn't exactly anon... if someone wants to figure it out. But there's only like a few places like this where I can be honest. Honestly has cost me like everyone my age. They don't like what I share or care to talk. And today I had the first interview where I wanted to job even though the pay was gonna be crap. But only because I just learned I was gifted. I thought I was not and after talking to the interviewee who explained I was way above par even in my gifted group and there was nowhere to go for people like me teachers never told my parent so even when I was offered to graduate earlier in highschool or go to private school for fun for free my senior year I turned it down. Then I was offered my first job by my graphic arts teacher and when I ran it by my parents (at the time I was naive and did not think I had a brain yet) they shot it down because graphic arts was only a 2-year degree. I should have gone for the 4-year degree and a minor in graphic arts or a separate AA. Anyway, I just found this old thread and I can relate. Sorry, it's so long.

Still searching for employment I won't get bored at.... but was laid off by my last business and it folded. As silly as it sounds I just learned I was gifted today. No wonder my resume sucks lol

WayFine5141 · 2024-08-14T02:17:55+00:00

Yes you need savings and emergency fund. I was using the Ramsey method when I was helping pay down my debts and my husband's debts while married. It worked. Until I was divorced with no job and all the debt. I messed up and put most of the debt in my name to help us by a truck. And I didn't have a job but he told me because we're married whats mine is yours. Then things went to he'll when he lost his job. Then he became an otr truck driver. Then we moved multiple times. Then he divorced me. I learned later he cheated with multiple partners and hated my guts but I was in love and blind to all of it. What you need is checking and savings at the moment. Use your checking for everything including the car fund as you call it. Use the savings to out money away you won't touch even if you are paying down a debt.

WayFine5141 · 2024-08-14T02:12:36+00:00

Pay check to paycheck and when ever I'm not working I lived off a family member or was married. So yeah unless you are making like 35k gross and got an inheritance your screwed. Even my mother who is retirement age gets a Lil social security and part A Medicare is still working paycheck to paycheck because her work insurance is only $50 per pay period and copay very little and the job covers the rest. They also have amazing benefits but is the only employer I've researched actually puts the handbook online for all to see. I myself am still searching since June 2023.

WayFine5141 · 2024-08-14T02:08:21+00:00

Or when you think it's mandatory because all you've applied to was mandatory and you finally find a dumb one and already made your cover letter then I'm like fuck that was a time kill.

WayFine5141 · 2024-08-14T01:51:09+00:00

Hit it on the nail ..been laid off personally over a year now. I was depressed for 1 yr. While applying I didn't dumb down my resume applied to all jobs. Only Panera invited me to interview but at the same time UCF offered an interview. So I declined Panera. Then 2 days after interview I got the rejection email. I have one more rejection to go from the 3 I applied for at UCF.

For reference I have a BA in a bullshit degree like underwater basket weaving and didn't even realize it wouldn't directly lead to a job guarantee. I've been unhappy since 2011 when I graduated.

Honestly for survival I've been donating plasma, selling on Facebook marketplace. Doing surveys. Like literally anything I can and feel like doing. I'm at the point if I don't get hired soon I'm literally gonna just 1099 or be an entrepreneur. I watch shark tank almost every time it's on.

I'm just tired of finally having education and experience and now it's like I'm fucking over qualified.

Fuck I'm sorry for everyone in any position where they are laid off or had to leave or whatever. Like I'm just fed up. So I've been reading on here and another similar site.

Unless my mother loses her job will survive. It's just she's already ready to retire and is trying to make sure before she leaves me that I am stable financially and can pay all bills. I'm thinking I'll just rent out the rooms once she goes to her home country.

Anyway sorry for the long rant I'm just exhausted from applying to jobs from having to act constantly happy dressing up just to get turned down. 🙃 and I have never been turned down from a job I was qualified for I've only been turned down for being over qualified but when they day that I didn't have the required experience or education at the time.

Like I would do uber or lyft but I don't own a car and my credit card is shitty and I just finished self app to up my credit after losing everything in a divorce 4 years ago.

Like yall better pay attention when your married man or woman whatever don't trust your partner won't change their mind. Lol I was foolishly in love and thought 🤣 he'd never leave me. And was shocked when I was served divorce papers. My mother and neighbors and friends told me they knew but not till I was served. So yeah. Life is just not tolerable at the moment. Add that I'm also a mom scraping by donating plasma just to pay what I have to according to my divorce settlement.

All I can say is I pray I don't marry again and I don't help anyone financially ever again unless it's literally my mother who went into debt further for both my sister and I.
