As the title says. I nearly have my Master’s degree but have not been able to find a job in the field that pays anything over $17.50. I need to at least make $25 an hour where I’m at.

A little background on me, four years ago I made $60k annually had always had a job. Then I had a health crisis, found out it was cancer and had to quit my job due to physical limitations per my doctor. Anyway so now I’m much better! I can’t do hard labor or stay on my feet for more than 4-5 hours.

What job will hire me right away? How do I explain the gap in employment?

I have enough money for November but not December so I need a job asap.

Thank you!

Any leads? Willing to be very humble here.

So I just had my final round interview today, last week on Wednesday I had a two hour panel interview and then they called me yesterday (Monday) scheduling me for the final round interview that was for today. At the end of the call today they told me it was between me and one other person and congratulations for making it to the final round and then said I’ll know the decision by the end of the week the latest. They said they wouldn’t send me into the weekend not knowing if I got it or not. I felt like the interviews went well and I feel pretty confident but it’s eating me up inside, has anyone ever been in this situation and if you have did you end up getting the job?

I have my first interview tomorrow and I've never had a job or did an interview before. I am a little nervous. Is there anything I should know or do? I'm not very good at talking to people as people would call me extremely shy and I'm scared I'll clam up during the interview. I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice or anything.

My current work environment is so toxic and I want out. I have an interview this week for a job I really want. I am meeting with the hiring manager. Is there anything you think I should say or do to impress him? I was thinking about making a presentation on what I am a good fit along with some ideas for the team. Is that too much? Would love some thoughts and advice if you have navigated the job market in the last year.

I interviewed twice for an EPA position, with my second interview on September 25. After not hearing back, I emailed two of my interviewers, and both responded. I was told that the recruiter was still working through paperwork related to next steps and that the hiring process was long and complex. I was also told I might hear something in a few more weeks, but that was speculative.
It has been about a month since my second interview, and I still haven't received an offer or been asked for references. My USAJOBS status showed that I was tentatively eligible and referred to the hiring manager. I'm trying to figure out whether I'm still a serious candidate or if I should give up hope, especially since no one has contacted my references.

I’ve been unemployed since July, and I’m getting more demotivated as time goes on. I had two interviews last week. I’ve only heard back from one so far, but I’m worried I won’t get the job because I might have failed the psychometric test I did yesterday. I’m honestly exhausted from all of this.

I have 10 years of recruitment experience but haven’t received a single callback in 6 months of searching for remote US jobs.
I’m considering a career change and exploring paralegal certification, HRIS, data analytics, or SHRM-CP. I’m concerned about investing in certifications without relevant experience and still struggling to get hired.
I’d appreciate advice on:
Which career path offers realistic opportunities for someone with my background?
Is paralegal certification, HRIS, or SHRM-CP worth pursuing?
Which skills or certifications actually help people get hired?
Which legitimate remote job sites have worked for you?
I’d love to hear honest experiences and recommendations from anyone who has made a similar career transition.

For no ones surprise I'm navigating the job market. I am an industrial designer and there don't seem to be many positions for my expertise. I see everywhere that I should reach directly to the managers and ask them about oportunities. I guess my question is not much is you have ever gotten a job but more what the hell do you write on the DM without looking too desperate (I am tho). Not that I care much about to look desperate but more as in I don't want them to be directly annoyed at me.

For context: I'm in Finland, looking for a job in Helsinki, Stockholm or Copenhagen.

Now that the strike won’t be ending soon, I really need to get some work or get into upskilling. I’ve tried getting chatting jobs the last couple of months but no luck. Currently learning VA skills and wondering if it’s really worth it. If you have any opportunity or advice, I’d really appreciate it…

Many of the Redits don't like job post but I'm trying to find safe places where job posts are allowed. Any good ones for the creative design and copy space?

I'm writing this post because I have been unemployed for the last 2 years, and it's continuing. Honestly, it's been one of the most difficult phases of my life.

Initially, I thought it would take a few months to find a job, but as time passed, the self-doubt, overthinking and frustration kept increasing. I constantly question myself, my skills, my decisions and my future. Some days I feel motivated to try again, while on other days, I struggle to find the energy to do anything.

The financial pressure makes everything even harder, especially when your savings are running out and you still haven't found a way to get back on your feet.

I also wonder how other people in the same situation are dealing with everything. What is your family situation like? Are your parents supportive or do you face pressure and criticism from them? What do your relatives, friends, and society say when they find out you are unemployed for so long?

Sometimes, it's not just about finding a job anymore. It's also about dealing with mental pressure, comparing yourself to others, losing confidence and wondering whether things will ever get better.

I'm not posting this to complain or seek sympathy. I just want to connect with people who understand what this feels like, share our experiences and motivate each other.

My unemployment has been going on for 2 years and I'm still struggling with self-doubt and overthinking.

It would genuinely help to hear your stories, especially from people who have been through something similar and managed to turn things around.

Let's talk openly without judging each other. Sometimes, knowing that we're not alone in this situation can make a difference.

How long have you been unemployed, and how are you holding up?

I’ve been applying for jobs through LinkedIn, Indeed, and Naukri for a while now. I’ve sent out hundreds of applications but haven’t received a single interview call. It’s been rejection after rejection, and honestly, it’s getting disheartening.

I completed my M.Tech in Computer Cyber Security from NIT Kurukshetra, hoping that getting a master’s degree would help me build a good career and improve my opportunities. But being qualified and still struggling to get even one interview is frustrating. I genuinely want to work, learn, and build something meaningful, but right now, I feel stuck.

I previously worked at Dell Technologies as a Graduate Intern in Data Engineering and Analytics. I’m comfortable with DSA and problem-solving, and I’m also interested in AI/ML. I’ve worked with Python, SQL, and PySpark, and I’ve built projects involving machine learning, Transformers, and Agentic AI.

I’m open to opportunities in Software Engineering, AI/ML, and other related technical roles.
If anyone knows of relevant openings or could refer me to their organization, I’d be genuinely grateful. I’m happy to share my resume over DM.

I know the job market is tough, and I’m sure many people here can relate. I’d really appreciate any leads, referrals, or even advice on what I could be doing differently.

So I graduated 2025 last year I got offer from Microsoft been working in Redmond for a year currently the 60K exit plan is bothering me my team isn't affected I haven't received exit plan.

But I applied H1b last year didn't get picked I have 2 more chance currently on stem extension should I even stay in the company for next year for them to apply seeing the current scenario H1b approvals delay is it even worth it. or should I switch job before March ( have 3 months to find that )

Is it even worth the stress of staying!
Projects are scrapped in my team a lot too that's concerning too!

The same as previously stated. Even if I do well on other kinds of exams, I have interview phobia; my brain simply freaks out when the questions are asked. After working so hard to get there, I lost in the last level, which makes me very upset.
