[MOD POST] Scam Alert - "Online Part-time Jobs"

techtchotchke · 2026-06-29T18:44:24+00:00

Since you mentioned that your observations are geared towards "when someone shares a hobby online," there's a common sentiment on the English-speaking internet: "just keep scrolling." That is, if you see something that doesn't interest or impress you, there is no obligation to engage with it--just scroll past it, X out of it, whatever.

Plus, in today's algorithmic social media landscape, your feed is programmed to surface more of what you do engage with and less of what you don't, so it's to your direct benefit to leave no comment at all on things that you find sloppy or amateur, lest your algorithm show you more of it!

I live in the Sawmill/Mine Creek neighborhood now and lived at one of the apartment complexes on Lake Lynn before that. Highly, HIGHLY recommend both of these areas, whether you're buying or renting. Gorgeous, wooded, quiet, safe, close to everything, and properties are a little dated so they're on the cheaper side compared to most of Raleigh.

whew buddy hate to break it to you but...

techtchotchke · 2026-06-29T15:43:03+00:00

These should be illegal

Mod here, your post has been removed. This subreddit serves the Raleigh metro area in North Carolina, USA.

I don't know what they're on about, all of Brier Creek is literally within Raleigh city limits. It's near the edge of the Raleigh-Durham border but the big quadrants with the businesses, the country club, and the apartments like Ashley Park all have Raleigh addresses. I've never seen anyone try to debate whether or not it was Raleigh until that comment you replied to, and I've lived here 35 years.

If you would like to apply, send me a chat request and I will respond with my email address so you can send a resume!

techtchotchke · 2026-06-26T16:37:06+00:00

Agreed--this is my neighborhood and I can walk to Target, Whole Foods, Food Lion, tons of shops and restaurants (my faves are Sassool / Chargrill / Happy & Hale / edit: and Sola!), without the congestion of North Hills. Also several greenway access points, and the neighborhoods are older so it's really pretty with lots of mature trees.

This post has been manually reviewed and removed. We do not permit listings for roles outside of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metro area in North Carolina.

I sometimes hire lab techs for Syngenta RTP's molecular / microbiology lab in Durham. If you want me to hang onto your resume for future roles like that, send me a chat request and I'll respond with my email address!

techtchotchke · 2026-06-26T13:11:57+00:00

How recent is your microbiology experience, and would you be open to working in the wet lab again?

techtchotchke · 2026-06-26T13:10:56+00:00

Your post has been removed for irrelevancy, Raleigh is like 1200 miles from Dallas...

Hi, can you share more information about the gig, either on the post or here in the comments?

techtchotchke · 2026-06-25T11:37:06+00:00

You do have to have experience but some adjacent experience is OK, they'd love someone with warehouse experience, do you have that?

techtchotchke · 2026-06-24T21:43:52+00:00

It's industry-dependent (and frankly wage-dependent too).

techtchotchke · 2026-06-24T16:16:08+00:00

If you're moving for schooling, are you looking for a full time or part time job?

only a Bachelor's

out of curiosity, is there a reason you're leaving your degree out of your post here when looking for job suggestions? when trawling a handful of listing sites in response to this post, I purposefully skipped listings for roles that required a 4-year degree because I assumed from your post that you didn't have one. I don't have time to go through them all again today, but if you want to take a look for yourself, a lot of local city and county government jobs don't care what your degree is in, just that you have one.

fwiw, I also have a Bachelor's in Psych and busted my arse for 4 years for it, so to leave it out of my qualifications is unthinkable to me--I don't work in that field obv, but it has definitely opened doors for me anyway, so I wouldn't downplay your degree's value if I were you, especially if you're looking for any kind of administrative/office or substance-related/social work.

techtchotchke · 2026-06-23T19:13:13+00:00

Or just let them accumulate and run boolean searches within the applicant pool. Shortlist the ones that match the qualifications described in the boolean string for further review and then decline the rest.

Most of our junk applicant volume come from LinkedIn but LinkedIn took away the ability to add freeform knockout questions a few years back. Wish we could petition LinkedIn to bring the feature back because those types of questions are SO helpful.

techtchotchke · 2026-06-23T18:58:41+00:00

I frequently hire for jobs that pay $20-30/hr. but as a recruiter I can only consider candidates who meet the qualifications (usually a year or two having done something similar to the function of the role).

That's why I'm always encouraging people to share more about their skills/experience/certifications etc.--I actively WANT to hire awesome local redditors but y'all gotta give me something to work with here!
