Exploring a move to Philadelphia mid-late June and looking for full-time work
Hey everyone,
My fiancée and I are looking at a few cities for our next move, and Philadelphia is high on the list. We’re currently in Kentucky and hoping to relocate around mid to late June if the right opportunity lines up.
I’ve mostly been applying to higher ed jobs, especially admissions, enrollment, student services, advising, student success, registrar/records, and support roles. Right now I work as a Special Education Teaching Assistant, so a lot of my day-to-day is working with students one-on-one, helping them stay on track, communicating clearly, staying calm when things get stressful, and helping people leave with an actual next step instead of feeling overwhelmed.
In college, I was also really involved on campus. I helped run a student arts/events organization, booked artists, helped organize campus and community events, and was part of creating a student group focused on belonging and honest conversations. So I’m comfortable with student-facing work, communication, events, records/documentation, customer service, outreach, and admin support.
That said, I’m open to more than just higher ed. I’d really consider anything full-time where I can use communication, organization, student/customer support, records, outreach, or people skills. I’m not trying to be picky or flashy. I just want a solid opportunity where I can work hard, be useful, and build a life somewhere that feels like a better fit.
If anyone knows of places hiring, good job boards, schools/colleges/nonprofits to check out, or roles I might not be thinking of, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to reach out via Reddit chat if you know of anything or can help me out 🙂
