I owe my interest in physics to one of my college professors… but my love for chemistry? That is definitely thanks to “Organic Chemistry” guy on YouTube 😭 The nights I understood absolutely nothing in chemistry, he definitely helped me survive getting good grades :"") IYKYK

One of the rooms in our WG became free, so I suggested it to a friend of mine ... We’re not close enough for me to fully know what living together would actually be like, so… FINGERS CROSSED I didn’t accidentally change the entire energy of the apartment in the wrong direction:"")

A few people have told me that for cafés/restaurants it’s way more effective to just walk in and ask in person instead of only sending online applications/resumes. But I don’t know why, it just feels so vulnerable?? Like I’m basically announcing “hey I need a job and money” even though… realistically almost everyone does 

Did any of you have this feeling too? And do you think going in person is actually the only real option left for these kinds of jobs now?

Not necessarily the chaos part lol, but coworkers you genuinely liked, funny moments during the day, inside jokes, weird but lovable people, etc.

I genuinely wonder if work environments like that really exist or if most jobs are just… depressing and exhausting. Is it realistic to hope for a workplace that’s actually fun sometimes?

Lately I’ve been timing going into the hallway/kitchen for when nobody’s there because I genuinely can’t handle even short conversations sometimes :")

But at the same time, when I hear them bonding or getting closer, I feel like I’m missing something and it stresses me out.

The weird part is: I still enjoy going out alone every Sunday, traveling to new places, sitting in cafés, being around people etc. I actually feel really satisfied after those days. So it doesn’t feel like depression? I just don’t want constant interaction or long conversations at home.

I genuinely can’t tell what this is 💀

Hey everyone,

I’m currently based in Düsseldorf and actively looking for a part time office/backoffice job (around 20h/week).

So far I’ve:

applied online through platforms

also went in person to companies and handed in my CV

But I’m not getting much response yet.

I’d really appreciate some practical advice from people who successfully found office/admin jobs in Düsseldorf:

Are there specific companies or areas I should target?

Is applying in person actually effective here, or should I focus more on online?

Any tips that worked for you personally?

Thanks a lot!
