Hello! I have about 10 years of experience in front of house restaurant work (hosting, serving, some bartending) and I recently moved here with my partner, so looking for a new job!

I’m not seeing many postings for servers in Denver and I’m wondering if that’s more of a timing issue, or if the industry is down here or if these positions are filled via word of mouth? Would also appreciate if anyone has any leads for restaurants hiring that may not having postings up yet. Thanks!

I feel worthless to society, I’m a first generation college graduate with a masters, but I’ve gotten laid off twice in a year since moving away from my hometown. I can’t find a job now and I can’t build a career. I try all day applying, network, interviewing, upskilling and nothing changes I just get rejected continuously. I used to be so independent, working myself through school while living on my own, making decent money all the while.

I moved myself away from my home town for a better life after I found my ex had been cheating on me for over a year. I felt so worthless and truly felt like moving saved my life, but now, I’m back to square one. All I want to do is work and have meaning in this life. But then when I lost my job, I drained my savings and ended up I moving in with my partner. After a year he resents me. He told me that I’m not cleaning and cooking enough, he wants to break up with me and he tells me this every month. I also got diagnosed with a chronic disease requiring a major surgery, it makes sex painful, and he also resents me because his sexual needs aren’t met. He’s also upset when I bring up problems because I’m “nagging”, all he wants to do is play video games while I run the household while also busting my ass to try and find a job. He’s told me for a year how much he resents me. Now I feel dead inside just cooking and cleaning as much as I can, having sex when it’s painful, trying to keep my issues to myself and yet it still feels like it’s not enough.

I just wanted to move out of my hometown to make a better life for myself. I wanted to leave my trauma and heal, I thought I was finally loved and stable here but then can’t hold a career and I’m too big of a fuck I’m to make it at home. I’m totally reliant on him with no family here and hardly any friends. No money or furniture, my life feels like it’s constantly ending and I amount to absolutely nothing in any regard. I’ve failed at trying to make my life better and nothing I’ve ever done has changed the fact that I’ve always been worthless. I think about ending it all more often than I’d like to admit but I’m afraid, and I worry about hurting even more people.

Hello! I have about 5 years of legal case support, but mainly all in-house corporate on the defense side, heavy on pre-litigation… since the world has moved away from remote work I’ve found it difficult to find other corporate in-house legal assistant & paralegal work and have been applying to local law firms. I don’t have a paralegal cert but instead have a masters in environmental policy, but in my area there’s not many environmental law firms. My prior jobs were heavy on negotiation with outside counsel, finalizing response letters & settlements, working with other departments to resolve legal complaints outside of court.

Most law firms are willing to interview me, but either try to sell me on some receptionist position (which is always just heavy office management) I didn’t interview for or tell me I’m not qualified enough because I didn’t use some specific legal software they use, or I don’t have enough experience with certain court system fillings, calendaring, etc., or specifically tell me I need x years of experience in a certain area of law.

I recently got a position at a law firm doing discovery work for plaintiff litigation, but never got the chance to learn some of those other skills/platforms before they laid me off in a huge RIF.

So back to square one. I’m not sure where to go from here if I can’t get my foot in the door anywhere to “get the experience”. Would pursuing certain certifications in legal softwares in the meantime help? Or is there another pathway I can take?

Gosh, I’m panicking. I know I have the experience, qualifications and passion for the job but I’m so nervous I’m afraid I’m going to fumble on my words or not give concise answers. The interview is with the hiring manager for a very senior position and would be a real career for me, something I’ve been chasing since finishing my grad program. I’ve been prepping for days. What is the most impactful thing I can do now the morning before the interview?

Just put a lot of thought and care into a cover letter (required in the application process) for a job that I hit all of the required qualifications and 90% of the preferred, including an advanced degree. Not only 2 hours later receive a generic auto rejection showing that a human never looked at my resume or cover letter. As a practice I’m against cover letters for this reason, they shouldn’t be requested until a resume gets passed screening. If a company is going to use AI to screen resumes it has no business requiring a cover letter as part of its application process.

Tried to write a review on Glassdoor but it wouldn’t post

Hello! I recently graduated with a masters in environmental management, with a cert in policy & energy sustainability. I have 5 years of experience in legal case management, mainly escalations and some of that was in the Solar industry. I’m trying to get in environmental compliance/regulations in the corporate industry, preferably renewables or electric but it seems I’m hitting a wall where I have an experience gap or I’m missing some kind of additional skills. Anyone in this sector have any suggestions on what I can focus on now, skills or experience to make it to corporate environmental compliance/regulation??

I have never worked in insurance before so forgive my ignorance. I’m currently searching for a new job and pivoting from a heavy legal background, and a Goosehead recruiter reached out to me about an account executive role.

They said about $40k base, then commissions & bonus averages people at about $90k. They asked me to come in for an interview process that would take 4 hours? This seems strange to me and abnormal but I’ve never worked in this industry. A few of my friends in sales (not insurance) said the lead generation aspect of the job would make it very difficult/undesirable. I’m posting here from some insight from folks in this industry about Goosehead Insurance specifically. I read some bad reviews about franchising with them, but wondering about an account executive role? Pros? Cons? Things to consider going in?
