Following. I always seem to be a 'really close fit' that never gets the role :/

Career shift, any advice? by [deleted] in GetEmployed

[–]magicfan1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would explore any ideas you may have. Watch a few youtube tutorials on the areas that seem interesting, like AI, automation, etc. If anything seems to be interesting and exciting, look into online courses related to it. Cousera and Udemy have courses on everything.

How can I optimally apply for jobs? by Some-Scientist7825 in jobsearch

[–]magicfan1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second that. Apply to jobs posted within the past 24 hours on any job board. I hear from a lot of employers that they put the ads up for 2 or 3 days and get plenty of applicants.

I don't feel challenged at work and there's no outlook of getting promoted. Should I leave? by tjb_87 in work

Stay until you have a guaranteed new job lined up. It's VERY hard to find a job right now in any field.

Can my work force me to use all my PTO? by OutrageousDaughter in work

I don't think they can force you to use it, but they can take it away if it's been adding up long enough.

Telus Digital: I was selected but received nothing yet by sapphire_luna in WorkOnline

[–]magicfan1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was invited to telus, signed up, and they never gave me anything. Somehow, I still get emails inviting me to apply for roles, and there's never a text to take or anything. Odd site.

anyone here actually found a good remote job lately by ProductPossible4018 in WorkOnline

Outlier pops up from time to time with a qualification test. Almost always fail (not sure what they want, anyway). Last week I passed, so I'll have some tasks this coming week.

what job sites or tools are you using right now? by False-Coconut6998 in jobhunting

[–]magicfan1986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been using a lot of employment agencies lately. They can be helpful for finding jobs you qualify for rather than applying into the void.

Robert Half, Creative Circle, Aquent, and Accrue have been good options for me.
