hey guys I’m 19 yrs old just moved to Austin I’m taking care of my pregnant girlfriend rn and staying at her moms apartment i need to pay her rent soon and have had no luck finding and jobs I’m in the south Austin area with no car but I was wondering if anyone had any advice I was thinking of taking a bus for transportation as well
Hey y’all so I am currently in school for BBA in computer information systems but im scared reading how a lot of business degrees aren’t even needed for jobs and they make no money now I don’t have the highest gpa. I don’t have connections I barely opened linked in and handshake. I’ve just been reading that w/o internships it’s basically being doomed I’ve been applying but haven’t gotten anything. Now I do have at least 5 years of working in various areas like subbing, customer service and front desk. I know that’s not tech but I can work with people there’s now events coming up for school to network but I want to know how to max my abilities to land a good job after graduating I’ve been reading that the best degrees just lead to health care cause they always have jobs and now I’m regretting a business degree rn and omg I’m just nervous for the future of not landing something to live comfortably. I don’t have kids and I’m not married I’m 22 but I think about life ALOT.
Thinking of relocating to austin, but it be easier to find a job that can be suited somewhat to my personality or my needs. I am suspicious of neurodivergence, but for the most part all my life I've done jobs that have shown me what to avoid and what hurts me more than helps. So at least I know what I don't wish to do again. Wondering if this thread is good for that kind of request.
Ps I do have a resume at hand I can use and lots of experience in different things, just need help nor repeating same jobs, therefore same mistakes. Thank you.
I’m based in Austin and have been with my company for nearly two years. I keep seeing people who are actively looking for legitimate work and struggling to get their applications seen, so I wanted to offer this.
My company strongly values employee referrals. I’m willing to speak with people who might be a good fit and refer qualified candidates through the formal employee referral process.
The primary opening is a permanent, part-time W-2 technical facilitation role. The position is fully remote, but the company is currently hiring for this role only in the following states:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
This is not a sales position. There is no cold calling, lead generation, commission, sales quota, or selling of products or services.
The work involves providing audio, video, and technical support during scheduled virtual professional proceedings. Responsibilities include helping participants connect, monitoring audio and video, troubleshooting technical issues, facilitating the virtual room, and keeping the session moving when necessary.
Important scheduling requirement:
Although the role averages approximately 15 to 25 hours per week, it is not designed for evening-only or weekend-only availability.
Candidates must be fully available for at least three weekdays each week. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are generally the busiest days, and candidates must be fully available for at least two of those three days.
For example, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday could work, as could Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Weekend work is occasionally available but is generally too limited to replace the weekday availability requirement.
Because of this, the position generally will not work for someone already working a standard Monday-through-Friday, 9-to-5 job unless that job provides substantial weekday flexibility. Hours may increase or decrease depending on business needs.
Position details:
You do not need to already own a complete home-office setup. You do need reliable internet and a quiet, dependable place to work.
The strongest candidates will be comfortable with technology, communicate professionally, learn new systems quickly, and remain calm while troubleshooting. You must be able to confidently facilitate a virtual room, interact with different personalities, and keep things moving when needed.
You are generally off camera and muted for much of the work, but you must be comfortable speaking clearly and taking control when the situation requires it. Reliability, punctuality, attention to detail, and professionalism are extremely important. Direct experience in this specific industry is not necessarily required.
Because I would be attaching my name to the referral, I will not automatically submit everyone who responds. I would first review your résumé or LinkedIn profile and have a brief 5 to 10-minute conversation with you. Nothing excessive. I simply want to understand your background and determine whether the role appears genuinely suitable.
For the initial résumé review, you are welcome to redact identifying information such as your surname, street address, phone number, personal email address, or anything else you are not comfortable sharing yet. I primarily need to see your relevant skills, employment history, experience, and education.
If this position does not align with your experience, I may also be able to refer qualified candidates for other current openings within the company. However, this is currently the primary part-time opportunity I’m aware of. Most other positions are full-time and require full-time availability.
If interested, send me a private message with:
I’m keeping the company name out of the public post, but I will provide my full name, the company name, the official job listing, and complete application instructions before any formal referral or application. Please wait to apply until after we speak so I can submit the employee referral first.
For transparency, I am a current employee, not a recruiter. I may receive an employee referral bonus if someone I refer is hired and remains employed for the required period. There is never any fee to participate, and a referral does not guarantee an interview or employment.
My goal is to help qualified people access legitimate remote work, help my company find strong candidates, and receive the referral bonus when a successful match is made.
First Reddit post, so be gentle. I’m a recruiter trying something other than yelling into the LinkedIn void. 😅
I’m looking for a few people for a restoration and mitigation company in Leander doing hands-on work after water, fire, and other property damage.
You do not need restoration experience. Training is provided.
What the role requires:
• Comfortable performing physical, hands-on work
• Valid driver’s license and ability to meet driving requirements
• Ability to meet required background screening requirements
• Willingness to learn and work as part of a team
• Comfortable participating in a rotating on-call schedule when needed
Restoration is an emergency response business, so work can occasionally happen outside normal hours. Availability for after-hours, weekend, or emergency response may be needed as part of the rotation.
Experience in construction, maintenance, moving, flooring, HVAC, roofing, demolition, water mitigation, or similar work may translate well.
Already have restoration experience? I’d definitely like to hear from you too.
Interested? Comment “interested” below or send me a private message and I’ll reach out.
Know someone who may be interested? Feel free to send this their way.
Apparently Reddit knows everybody, so I’m testing the theory. 🦋
Looking for housing in Austin – moving in September
Hey! Still haven’t had much luck finding a place, so trying here again.
My friend and I are looking for a place in Austin starting September, preferably a sublease or flexible lease for around 4–6 months.
Budget: $900–$1,100 total/month
1B is fine if it’s reasonably spacious; 2B would be great
Prefer somewhere safe with decent access to downtown
We’re both students/recent grads, clean and respectful
We’re into EDM/raves, fitness, and meeting new people, so being around other students/young professionals would be a plus
If anyone has a room/apartment/sublease available or knows someone looking for tenants, please DM me. Thanks!
Hi all!
Throwaway account.
I wanted to warn as many people as possible about a company called Kizen based in NYC and Austin.
I worked at the NY office for a brief moment. During my time there, I saw people get fired after a month or two of working there. Lured to the company with the promise of high salaries, they'd leave their jobs at some pretty good companies and then they would be promptly fired if they weren't drastically changing the company or creating the viral success the founder imagines.
They do not have performance reviews (the CEO will lie and say that they do, but they don't have a paper trail at all--show the receipts John), so you will be fired for absolutely no reason and with no context. The CTO yells on slack at least once a day and at midnight on the weekends. He goes on tantrums and once fired some girl for making a mistake on a test environment. Another man got fired for going to HR--he was there for a month.
The product itself is awful and I feel bad for the elderly clients who got scammed into it by their pyramid scheme FMOs. Also, the company itself uses pyramid scheme in terminology and admits that is what they are running.
The CEO once told a staff member that he had heard that women don't thrive in start up environments as the explanation for a team member finding another job. They bought a huge office and just keep firing people so they're never going to fill it up.
Oh and they claim to have AI in their product but the AI Bot is awful and not in working order. Probably because they keep firing all of the engineers who have context or people quit.
My favorite part though is that the founder keeps saying things like "We are building a future for humanity."
Bitch how? You run an awful CRM product with a shitty wannabe AI bot. You're like Tony Stark's shitty inventor rival in Iron Man 2.
Do not accept the recruiter's messages in your LinkedIn Inbox. Do not leave your secure job, because you will be on the job market again in less than a quarter.
I’m a 16-year-old living in McKinney, and I’m actively looking for my first job. My main goal right now is to save up to buy my own car.
Because I’m an online student, my daily schedule is extremely flexible compared to traditional high school hours, meaning I can work morning, afternoon, or evening shifts.
**Availability:** Highly flexible weekdays and weekends thanks to online schooling.
**Transportation:** I have access to a car, plus a skateboard to get around locally (and I have the speed and stamina to make it work anywhere nearby).
**Strengths:** High energy, reliable, fast learner, and motivated to put in the hours.
**Roles I'm Open To:**
Food service (dishwasher, buser, runner, cashier)
Retail or grocery (stocking, customer support, cart attendant)
Lawn care, outdoor labor, or dog walking
Local neighborhood errands or odd jobs
If you know of any local McKinney businesses hiring 16-year-olds or places that are great to work for, please let me know. Leads or advice are greatly appreciated!
I’m 25F and have been working in behavioral healthcare since 2023. I’ve worked at a handful of ABA companies, a pre-school, and more recently an inpatient behavioral healthcare facility. All of these jobs involved me working directly with kids from ages 2-17 years old, and I’m extremely burned out from it. The most recent job has been affecting me a lot mentally, so I’m looking to move away from healthcare & childcare as a whole. I’m in a bit of a tough spot though, because majority of my work experience is in those fields.
I have some brief experiences working at chain fast food restaurants, coffee shops, and doing front desk administrative work while I was in college. I do believe I have a lot of transferable skills that would translate well into an administrative or hospitality role. I’m also in school to pursue a career in wellness, but I can’t work in the role I want to until I gain licensure.
Are there any industries or jobs that would be a fit for someone that has the experience I do? I’ve been looking into the following:
• Hospitality
• Administration
• Wellness
• Service Industry
• Community/Non-profit organizations
It would just need to be for the next 6 months at least while I finish school & pay enough to cover my essentials in life (Ideally $22+).
Looking for a better career, seems like the education system gets worse & worse every year. Going on my 5th year of teaching & enough is enough. Please help me find my way into a better paying career! Something less stressful with better pay. Teachers deserve so much better.
I’m 26 and i’ve been running a small design house and clothing brand for the last three years and I can finally hire a paid intern or assistant.
I’m looking for someone with a passion for fashion and media that can help me with communication, organization, and managing our community of models, designers, and visionaries.
Hoping to find someone around my age that lives close to Lakeway. Most days you’ll be, running errands, taking down notes during meetings, editing footage, communicating with the team, and helping me make final decisions.
(We’ll pay for gas)
You’d make $300 a month for the first 60 days and then get a pay increase.
Message me and introduce yourself!🔥🥳
I have interviewed with 5 companies in Austin, all awful experiences despite me proving during the process that I did way better than they expected.
Startup #1:
Recently relocated to Austin, "friendliest" people on earth, almost cultlike, call themselves a family, did the entire process. An unpaid one week assignment, then they paused the role and never hired anyone for it.
Startup #2:
Had the attitude of an Elon company, their biggest sell is that they are bootstrapped, the hiring manager was condescending the entire time. They never even told what the interview is going to be like, you just go there and handed a piece of paper to finish in 30 mins. Ghosted after that.
Startup #3:
I wrote special fanfiction for them since they were specifically looking for someone with my skills. the hiring manager responds, interview with them, build an entire fucking product over the week, however it was paid so I'm not very sad, did the onsite, we are having a great conversation, everone's loving it. Everyone loves what I built, they ask me for my ideas on hundreds of things, I tell them. 2 days later they say it's a pass. Turns out they wanted the entire product through a week long assignment and farmed my brain for ideas, like literally never wanted to hire. I felt so fucking betrayed and couldn't understand how I let that happen to me.
Startup #4:
Great conversations with the hiring manager, best fucking one I have ever seen, I let myself not get excited because of past experiences but I can feel it this time, it is very similar to the company I worked at. Goes amazing, couldn't be wrong this time right? Well fuck you, the role has been closed suddenly.
Startup #5
The recruiter is confused during the interview about their own fucking requirements, like during the conversation is unsure about the things essential to the role, ghosted.
I though job market was bad but boy interview market is equally as awful. I just think I am unhireable. I don't think how my friends who are all employed even begin to understand what the fuck is happening, I am so angry and depressed. This 11 month job search has completely made me devoid of a soul. I feel like I am being played with at times even though I know that this is just the market, but I think I have to be a special fucking cupcake to hit the jackpot all 5 times and it is really difficult for my berry-eating brain to understand that. Rant over.
I am looking for staffing/recruiting companies to get contract work or temp-to-hire. I reached out to HT Group - nothing; on Robert Half - applying, but no traction.
Using Hiring Cafe, Greenhouse, and Indeed as my main job search tools.
If anyone can recommend a staffing agency they had a good experience with, that would be great.
We have a mounted TV, mounted curtain rod, and two dog gates that we need removed from the wall (or ceiling) and need the holes filled in. We’re planning to handle painting over the drywall, but will need someone to handle removal and fill.
Located in 78724, please comment with your rates. Thanks!
I once had a job offer that I accepted and then it got rescinded when I told them I needed a quiet place to work because I have ADHD and an open-floor concept in a call center wasn't going to work... (I was the only engineer for that whole building and needed concentration to not mess up). I was told that offices were outdated and that no one would give me an office... had 4 jobs since then, had an office every time.

Hello!
I am trying to move to the Austin area and I am an RN with my BSN + 2 yrs experience looking for jobs.
I have heard good things about Baylor Scott and White in round rock and was just wanting some additional input or advice.
What is the nursing culture like? I would be moving by myself and want to feel safe and supported at work. Any other good hospitals out there?
I’m not so much focused on the salary right now, I just want more RN experience, preferably critical care/ ICU.
Any advice is helpful!!!

Soo I broke my ankle last week. Pretty sure a lot of people saw me lying on the side walk at north Lamar pease park side area. Also thank you to that one driver who stopped and offered to take me to the hospital I wasn’t really able to fathom anything at the moment.
I work remote but I’m looking for some more possibly part time remote opportunities cause my healing time is at least 12-14 weeks. I’m just 6 days post op today and I’m thinking of doing something to make the most out of this situation. The hospital bill is going to be crazy so I want to be a little prepared before they send mail me everything. And it would also be a perfect way to keep myself occupied. You guys have any idea?
