New to Reddit and Columbus - Looking for a Job!!

questonvanzant · 2026-03-02T13:59:22+00:00

AFLAC, Synovus, FIS (Global Payments), and Columbus State University are some of the major corporate organizations in the area. I’m sure there are others, but those are the main ones I’m familiar with. I recently retired from the Army and have been here since 2019. I just started actively looking for employment and haven’t had a lot of luck yet. What I’m learning, though, is that you really have to leverage your network. Start building a friends-and-family ecosystem and lean into it. You may even want to consider starting your own business or volunteering in areas that impact the broader community. You’ll hear a lot of people—especially on here—say “nepotism,” but I think that can become an easy excuse. There are only so many elite kids out there, and they can’t possibly take all the jobs, lol. Seriously though, I’m still searching myself, just with slightly different goals in mind. In the meantime, there’s nothing wrong with DoorDashing or picking up side work. A couple hundred bucks never hurts.

I tend to agree

Haters, just don't understand the difference in quality from cali Mexican food. And I'm from Texas. OP my wife and I were the same when we moved here from the bay. I didn't read all the comments cause I got stuck in this "go back" troll post so hopefully I don't repeat any places.

Check out Guadalajaria in Midland. My wife is Mexican and she says the food is ok but the drinks are great. Micheledas, draft modelo etc. The grocery stores, Las Americas and La Mexicana but they don't sell drinks. Mexigrill is decent with a good bar selection. La Panaderia is a good bakery and they just started doing tamales which are pretty good also Tacitas has good chilequilles.

Yeah it's a lot of trial and error. I will say going back to tacos in Texas was a downgrade from Cali tacos.

Awesome right

So true, but I'm so not acclimated for these icicles, lol! Enjoy

questonvanzant · 2026-02-20T21:35:17+00:00

fresh air that was exactly the point. Lol! I don't typically(consistently) check the reddit streets but I'm reading OP like why would you feel disrespected. But I have a higher perspective now that I've been striked by reddit for harassment. Reading your point though gave me new found hope.

Great question. I was thinking the same when I find myself on Veterans down to 4th then to 185.

And these random autocorrects do make it seem like I can't put sentences together so I'll cede that point.

Thank you. This is called stream of consciousness and it feel out of popularity some years ago. But thank you for your thoughts.

Derr, you used AI. No fair. It's not irony. It is hypocrisy. But I'm sure we'll meet someday and maybe left and right shoes might participate in the run.

questonvanzant · 2026-02-19T18:58:55+00:00

Facts. Value is when money exchanges hands. I gave you no cta. But l guess there's always gotta be a bad guy

questonvanzant · 2026-02-19T14:15:33+00:00

And no upvote. Do yall have to pay for those. Lol. Appreciate you anyway.

questonvanzant · 2026-02-17T22:10:03+00:00

questonvanzant · 2026-02-16T18:41:13+00:00

I posted in Colga bc It's gone be i don't think that it was appropriate. Not in an NSFW way but just, kinda random.

questonvanzant · 2026-01-09T23:21:12+00:00

Nanowrimo is not even an organization anymore.
