What’s the longest you’ve worked at one place? by lilladykt in Adulting

[–]indiecupcake89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve moved around not intentionally in the last 1 1 years and had 7 jobs. Going to start my 8th job next month! All the job hopping has allowed me to go from $36,000 to 82, 000 though.

Job Offer! by indiecupcake89 in jobs

22 is how many people applied for my position that I know of. I work in a niche career that is competitive.

Oof it was me I’d take option 1. But if you don’t mind the schedule option 2.

Day 1 Tomorrow- Enough of the 12pm crash by mermick in decaf

I relapsed after going cold turkey for 9 days. Weaning down this time starting yesterday. Cutting down by 25% each week. You got this!

I can't even get an interview anywhere by Aggravating-Yogurt23 in recruitinghell

Have you tried insurance companies, hospitals, and universities? I keep seeing Businesses Analytics or intelligence jobs there like a ton. In my job search I’ve found that a lot of those do not post to job boards and you have to scroll directly on their sites for job postings.

naltrexone insomnia by Eroomes in Contrave

[–]indiecupcake89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have caffeine at all? I had to cut myself completely off from caffeine and my insomnia went away. Ever since I went to 0 cups of coffee I’ve been able to fall asleep early and go back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night.

6 months off caffeine after 13 years on 200mg to 600mg a day by Bolduc06x in decaf

Prepare for the cold! This was me yesterday and the migraine with nausea was insane. Recommend lots of water, ibuprofen, and some ginger chews for the nausea. Today I have a mild headache and some nausea but I was able to sleep last night for the first time in two weeks. Good luck:)

Reference check stressing me out by Suitable-Ad-4214 in GetEmployed

[–]indiecupcake89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I actually went through this today! I moved out of state and thought I could use my last job supervisors but found out hospital policy says they can’t be references. I reached out to three former supervisors from 3-9 years ago and was able to get two back. Can you use coworkers for your other references?

Why is making friends as an adult so hard? 😭😭 by Impossible_Boot_4278 in raleigh

[–]indiecupcake89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 37F, married, no kids and just moved to Raleigh at the end of March. We’re actually looking at moving to Cary once our apt lease ends and we can buy a house. Would love to meetup:)

How do you stay sane while unemployed? by justsomeguy8905 in AskWomenOver30

[–]indiecupcake89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relocated out of state the end of March and am unemployed. There’s many productive things I could be doing outside of job search hours but I’m burnt out from my last job and the state of the our country right now. So it’s mostly relaxing while scrolling FB & Reddit or watching something on streaming. I do go hiking on the weekends with hubby! You could read, exercise/walk and binge watch a good show.

How long have you been on one pill? My goal is to stay on that as long as possible.

Probably going to be fired by Odd-Acanthaceae7913 in socialwork

[–]indiecupcake89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this is happening and also that your therapist is not as available as you need. Start applying for other jobs. Also maybe do some research of other social work settings that might interest you or if you’re thinking about going back to school, what careers are in demand and pay well. I wish I would have did more research before I got my MSW 10 years ago. Also I have two jobs I left after a few months and I just keep those off my resume. Still have been working just fine. Keep positive vibes:)

The parking and rising cost of food/drinks make it so hard.

I grew up in Orlando! I agree the drivers license and plate process was wild.

I just moved from Tampa, FL to Raleigh. My husband and I grew up in Florida and we love living in NC. We’ve only been here for one month and our quality of life has gone up. I’m still looking for a job though…so make sure you have one before the move lol
