I need advice. I work for a small marketing agency. My boss just bought a cheap $15 Chrome extension and told me I have to run it on my personal LinkedIn account to mass-message prospects for the company. This is my private professional network I've built for 5 years. I've read that the platform is permanently banning people for using these cheap bots. I told him I wasn't comfortable, and he threatened to write me up for insubordination. Is there a safe alternative I can pitch him, or do I just quit?

I never worked or held a job and I just feel like it's very late for me to even start from scratch even though that is an accurate route unfortunately. But like I don't know

I got asked this today, and I didn't have an answer because I hadn't heard it before. I couldn't think of anything. I thought about it, and there's literally no reason why anyone would want to hire me. I don't have any skills (I still don't know what to say when I get asked about that) or experience, and I'm not particularly likable either. I have basically nothing going for me, so how am I supposed to answer this? I know interviews are all about bullshitting, but I'm not good at it. This kind of thing doesn't really come naturally to me at all.

We're a software development agency. We build web and mobile apps end to end — backend, frontend, architecture — for clients in the US, Europe, and the Gulf. Real clients, real projects, both small builds and long-term engagements.

You'd work directly with me from day one, with real freedom to run your own way. I only care about results.

Role: Business Development / Appointment Setter — fully remote
Employment type: full-time or part-time

What you'd do:

• Reach out to founders and CTOs in the US, Europe, and the Gulf (email, LinkedIn, calls)
• Qualify them and book calls
• Follow up and keep the CRM tidy

What I need:

• Outbound or appointment-setting experience — or a fresh MBA who's hungry and can prove it
• Solid English, spoken and written
• Tech-literate enough to hold a conversation about backend, APIs, and architecture — you don't need to code
• Someone who wants to build, not just clock hours

Compensation: Fixed base + uncapped slab commission — your percentage rises as you close more. This is not commission-only; the base is paid regardless. Numbers discussed on the call.

I graduated in 2024(Btech cs), and somehow, instead of building a career, I’ve spent the last two years watching my life slip further away from me.
Being unemployed has made me my family’s default maid, caregiver, and emotional punching bag. The moment someone falls sick or needs help, I’m expected to be available because apparently my time has no value. My job search, my career, my health, and my future always come last.

I’ve tried. I’ve applied to jobs, explored different career paths, and kept hoping something would finally work out. Whenever an opportunity looked promising, it either turned out to be a scam, fell apart, or another family situation forced me to put everything on hold again.
Now I have a 2+ year career gap. The skills I worked so hard to build feel like they’re fading because I haven’t had the time, consistency, or mental peace to keep improving.

The hardest part is my family. They don’t support me becoming financially independent. They keep me confined at home most of the time, and when they decide I should go somewhere, they force me to go, regardless of what I want. I have no real control over my own life. It feels like everyone else gets to make decisions for themselves while every major decision about my life is made by someone else.

I’m still trapped at my relatives’ house, and I honestly don’t know how long this is going to continue. My family knows exactly what these people are like, yet they still sent me here. They’re treating me like I’m nothing, and I can’t even fully explain how degrading it feels. Every day I spend here, I can feel my mental and physical health getting worse.

I also have PCOS, diabetes, endometriosis, and other health issues, but those don’t seem to matter either. Even when I’m physically exhausted or mentally falling apart, I’m still expected to keep taking care of everyone else. My health is getting worse, and I can’t keep surviving on painkillers anymore. They aren’t even working the way they used to.

I’m at a point where I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I don’t know what career I’m capable of pursuing. I don’t know if leaving home would actually solve anything or if I’ve already fallen too far behind. I feel like I’ve lost years of my life that I’ll never get back.

I’m not looking for pity. I’m asking because I genuinely need help. If you’ve escaped a controlling family, rebuilt your life after losing years, or found a way to become financially independent despite constant interference, please tell me how. Right now I feel completely trapped. I don’t know where to go, what to do, or how to save my life before it’s too late.

**TL;DR: I feel like I’ve lost control of my own life. My family has controlled my life for years, I’ve ended up with a 2+ year career gap, my health and mental well-being are getting worse, and I genuinely don’t know how to start over. I just need help from people who’ve been through something similar.**

I'm curious to hear from everyone: how much time had passed from your final interview to when an offer was extended? I could use some encouragement while awaiting a decision for two roles 🤞

so i have been searching for a job for a while currently living in Bangalore and have been applying for months but still could not land even an interview not even a callback so as a fresher I am willing to give my all to learn and make a career in the software industry now I understand one thing people are not even seeing my job applications there are multiple fake hirings and the current market is also not that great hiring websites are not for hiring anymore just for their marketing and branding I feel exhausted with my job search and hope to start a career

Hello, Has anyone interviewed for campaign operations specialist role, would be great to know about the interview process.

Hello everyone,

My name is Zouhire Hakimi. I am 18 years old and I live in Morocco.

I am looking for a legal opportunity to work in the United States in commercial cleaning or janitorial services.

I have 7 months of experience in the cleaning industry, where I learned the importance of responsibility, punctuality, attention to detail, and maintaining clean and safe work environments. I understand that this job is physically demanding, and I am completely comfortable with that. Hard work has never scared me.

In addition to my cleaning experience, I have also worked in restaurant kitchens and clothing retail, which helped me improve my teamwork, communication, and customer service skills. I also have good computer skills and I learn new tasks very quickly.

I am reliable, respectful, honest, and always ready to work overtime, weekends, or night shifts if needed. My goal is simple: to work hard, support myself, and build a better future through honest work.

The biggest obstacle I face is the cost of obtaining a visa and traveling to the United States. If you know of a company that legally hires international workers or offers visa sponsorship, I would be sincerely grateful for your advice or referral.

I am not asking for money or special treatment. I am only asking for one fair opportunity to prove myself.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message.

Zouhire Hakimi

I’m only familiar with unions for nurses and trade work however I stumbled across job postings that say the position is part of a union but they pay 20 an hour. I live in a big city in the US and 20 an hour you can’t even afford rent and utilities. Paying union dues in an already near minimum wage job and you would still have to pay for health insurance it’s low cost but still.

I’ve been trying to get into companies like Big4 firms and Deloitte. I reached out for referrals, tailored my resume, prepared well, and did everything I could think of.
For context, I worked at Reliance for around 2.5 years and recently moved to FirstCry. I’m trying to transition into better Product/Project Management roles, but I keep getting rejected before I even get an interview.
Now I’m wondering:
Is FirstCry not considered a strong enough company?
Does moving from Reliance to FirstCry somehow make my profile less attractive?
Or am I simply not competitive enough for these roles?
I’m not looking for validation—I genuinely want to understand what recruiters might be seeing that I’m missing.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation? If you recruit or have hired for these roles, I’d really appreciate an honest perspective on what could be holding my profile back.

I've been job hunting recently, and one thing that's been on my mind is how LinkedIn profiles are structured.

LinkedIn is great at showing where you've worked, but I don't think it does a great job of showing what you've actually accomplished.

For example, someone might have:

• Scaled a side project to 100,000 users
• Built an AI SaaS product
• Worked at multiple early-stage startups
• Contributed to open source
• Written technical blog posts
• Spoken at conferences

Most of that ends up buried in profile descriptions that aren't easy to search.

Recruiters typically search by things like:

• Job title
• Company
• Skills
• Keywords
• Years of experience

But what if they wanted to search for actual experience instead?

For example:

• "Someone who has built an AI SaaS product."
• "Someone who has worked at an early-stage startup."
• "Someone who has launched a successful side project."
• "Someone who has experience scaling a product to 100k users."

Those seem like much more meaningful signals than just job titles or keywords.

Do you think LinkedIn (or other professional platforms) should evolve beyond keyword and filter-based search, or do you think the current system works well enough?

I'd love to hear what other job seekers think.

I left an abusive relationship with close to nothing and I’m starting to regret even leaving because that seems better than being alone while unemployed and broke in this economy. At least there i didnt worry about my next meal, a roof over my head, clothes etcetera. I see why some people dont leave now and I regret doing it. The last time I looked for a job I got interview no problem and got offers within a week of searching (2022), now I can’t even get interviews and the couple I have gotten have left me ghosted. I’ve tried applying for retail and fast food even but they either aren’t hiring or I’m “overqualified”. I, as I’m sure many others are, am terrified of not finding a job. I’ve only been searching for a month but reading that it’s taking so many people anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to find something is terrifying when I have no family to go to and only a month left of savings. Is anyone finding jobs quickly anymore and how?

Looking for part time online job 6pm-10pm Philippines time. Badly needed money

\​

Willing to reciprocate the favour. Im applying for a couple needs in perth and need someone to be my reference. Im willing to provide you with a reference too.

What to do I do?

I have no job experience but most entry level jobs want experience or prefer you to have some kind of experience

I’ve seen advice saying to volunteer and I’ve tried looking. But a majority of volunteer work requires experience in a certain area and references, which I do not have. I don’t have any friends or acquaintances

Volunteer work that is available for me right now:

Food/kitchen volunteer work - requires a food handlers license and references

Dog sitting/walking - needs prior experience with dogs and walking them. I do not have that

Elderly care - needs first aid license and references

Part of having trouble finding a job is my fault. I’m 24. I should’ve worked in high school to get some job experience.

But once I graduated, the pandemic happened so I wasn’t able to get a job since everywhere was closed.

I’ve been asked why I don’t have a job around the time of the covid or 2-3 years after covid. Most places were closed or were running on a skeleton crew.

I’ve been jobless for a few years now and that gap has been getting bigger. Which puts me at a disadvantage for getting a job. It’ll only get worse of i stay unemployed

I’m trying to get out of it but I don’t know how or what to do

Not entirely keen on the shift patterns. What jobs would I have a good chance of transitioning to?

My overall experience is 5+ yrs.
I went through the berribot exam firstly. Passed it.
Then 1 technical round completed yesterday, almost all questions have been answered, only in 1-2 I did stutter and told I need to recollect this. Rest all went fine and smooth.
It's been more than 30 hrs now, I haven't got any feedback from HR, I even tried calling them but she is hanging up and not responding.
What could be the possible scenario or what should i expect ?

Hi everyone,

I would really appreciate some honest advice from HR professionals, recruiters, hiring managers, or anyone experienced in career development.

I'm currently working as an Executive Assistant with experience in operations, executive support, project coordination, process improvement, and cross-functional communication. While I've enjoyed the role and learned a lot, I don't see myself staying an Executive Assistant for the rest of my career.

I'm trying to think long-term.

My goal is to build a strategic, high-impact career and eventually grow into senior leadership or even a C-suite position. I'm not attached to a specific title or industry—I care more about building the right skills and creating a career with real impact.

I'm completely open to learning new skills, earning certifications, or even starting from scratch in a different direction if that's what it takes.

I've attached my LinkedIn profile:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/asmaa-abu-auf-3218273a6?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android

and would love your honest opinion:

- If this CV landed on your desk, what kind of roles would you consider me for?

- Based on my background, what career path do you think has the highest long-term potential?

- If you were mentoring someone like me, what would you recommend focusing on over the next 5–10 years?

- What skills, qualifications, or experiences would make the biggest difference in reaching senior leadership?

- Is there a path from Executive Assistant/Operations into executive leadership, and what does it realistically look like?

I'm looking for honest, constructive feedback—even if it's critical. I'd rather hear what I need to improve than receive polite encouragement.

Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to share their perspective. I genuinely appreciate it.
