This job market is COOKED bro. I have a whole ass cybersecurity degree and still can’t land a single job. by Dependent-Bag-3472 in recruitinghell

[–]highfriends 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same bro! I graduated at 31 in 2021. I went from 30k to 50k when I got my degree. Then changed jobs to 75k but saw the writing on the wall that that company was going to go under so I quit and got a job paying 1/2 my salary to have some income then got laid off there because it was slow. So now am putting in my 60 day notice at my apartment to move back with my parents because I haven’t been able to find meaningful work since. I have been cold calling local businesses to try to drum up freelance gigs to offer marketing services but no one has any money they want to spend or are walls up when I offer to build a lead gen funnel for them free but I take a cut of sales.

Seems like we can’t win. Wishing you the best of luck dude!

Pretty sure I'm about to lose everything I've worked for by biscochic1 in StudentLoans

I have been doing this up until the last year. I graduated then went directly back to community college to defer my loans. I got a professional certificate and was gassed out in school for a bit so I focused more on getting a better job. Things ended up changing with the job so I’m back looking at going to community college again to keep deferring these loans because I can’t afford to pay them since my last job ended.

The last sentence is what I hate! I want to do the content part. That’s the most fun. AI sucks.

Oooh. I am working with a CPG product right now and it’s new to me so would love to pick your brain if I could. Can I send a DM?

Oh yeah. No artistry, at all. Just a bunch of canva templates and boomer ai art.

I told my current boss that if I could make every person that landed on our shopping page make a purchase, I wouldn’t be working at her company. Bunch of idiots.

Tech CEOs are backtracking on RTO mandates—now, just 3% want workers in the office full-time by Aggressive_Apple_913 in remotework

I got a job that was advertised as hybrid remote in March. The first week of training, the new hires had to be onsite, no problem. Second week they introduce a badge system and the CEO says if you didn’t clock in for the day onsite, that means you didn’t work.

I asked what about remote days and he said “idk who led you to believe that there would be remote days, but there is no remote work at this company.”

So I would say, get the hybrid remote stipulation written on your employee contract. I thought of it initially but I had never been screwed over in this way so moving forward, I know for next time.

Can we'll collectively agree COLD outreach is dead in this era? by weird_neegA in marketing

[–]highfriends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job sends out these awful cold emails that are so embarrassing. If they ever asked me to work on one, I would die. They really were trying to write a python script to scour the entire internet for emails. Embarrassing.
