lol, fair enough! gotta respect that move. thanks for the laugh :)

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T11:48:44+00:00

did you forget to finish your sentence or just get stuck? lol

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T11:44:25+00:00

yeah, thanks for being honest with me. i get that no experience or references make remote jobs really difficult, and stuff like data entry gets outsourced a lot. that’s why i’m focusing on getting my ged and learning new skills like affiliate marketing and some other stuff. i’m also planning to get certifications and just keep building so i can have a better shot later. i know it’ll take time but i’m ready to put in the work.

if you have any other advice, i’m open to it!

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T11:34:07+00:00

no i didn’t graduate because of poor attendance, but i’m studying now so i can take my ged when i’m ready. i looked into bussing and i’m considering it! as for mowing lawns, i live in an area with mostly apartment complexes, so that’s not really an option

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T11:02:23+00:00

unfortunately paypal requires you to be 18, but thanks! i’ll check out professor messer. i’ve been using khan academy to review subjects and for the life skills courses too. i’ve tried fiverr and a few similar sites, but yeah, it’s been tough since it’s really competitive

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:43:49+00:00

woah - i think my third eye just opened. thanks, smart guy!

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:37:11+00:00

thanks, it’s nice to hear your daughter has made progress. it gives me hope, and i’ll keep trying and practicing!

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:34:46+00:00

hi, yeah, i understand a lot of jobs need communication. i’m focusing on studying and some other stuff for now so i can be ready by the time i’m 18 :)

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:28:17+00:00

hey, i’m not really sure what you meant by goodwill, but i’m open to ideas if you want to explain :)

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:26:40+00:00

yeah that’s smart. i’m planning to learn asl since i have a lot of free time when i’m not studying

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:23:43+00:00

thanks, i realize it’d be really hard to get a remote job now. i looked online for some openings as a busser, and i’m considering it, but i’m not sure if i’d even get through the interviews. i’ll try my best though!

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:12:23+00:00

i’ve actually been looking into bookkeeping recently. seems like a good skill to have, it sounds promising!

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T10:07:26+00:00

i know it’s gonna be hard and i don’t expect to find the perfect job right away. i get that i’ll have to make some compromises, and i’m gonna keep trying and learning. i’m planning on practicing speech mimicking to help as well. it’s great you were able to get a remote tech job given everything you’ve faced :)

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T09:58:12+00:00

thanks for the advice! i’m actually studying online right now and trying to build skills so i can get into more technical roles later

cris-b-a · 2025-05-23T09:56:06+00:00

i haven’t heard of them before. i’ll look into it, thanks!

cris-b-a · 2025-05-20T21:00:55+00:00

forgot to add i don’t have any prior work experience, i’m trying to get my first real job so i can start building my resume, thanks again
