I've been working with them on a position, and I did my research and whatnot, so I'm pretty sure they're legit. They have a lot of LinkedIn followers and reviews on Yelp, Google, GlassDoor, etc., and I found this position through a pretty private job page. Still, I'm kind of paranoid, so I just wanted to know if anyone's had any experience with them.
Does anyone knows if there is a job in Austin as a software developer?
Hi, I booked a shift on Instawork to hand water out to racers this Saturday for $22.50hr it's from 1pm till 8pm in marble falls. Does anyone want it? I can transfer it to you. I had something come up and can't make it.
Yo straight up — I'm looking for a few people to check out a remote benefits/enrollment rep position.
It's performance-based, not hourly, but training and mentorship are provided. You meet clients on zoom and present options they requested through work.
If you're coachable, can talk to people, and want to make more money, it could be worth seeing.
Worst case, you hear it out and you're back where you're at now.
Best case, it unleashes your income potential.
Comment "info" or message me.
Throughout my experience I was never worried to get a job. I was always told teachers are in demand. Now seeing all the cuts and hiring freezes has sent me into a panic. I have my ec-6 and PPR passed. STR is pending. What should I do? Still apply for jobs? Wait til I pass? I want to teach pre k. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to apply :) TIA
hello! i am a student at UT Austin and i am genuinely having the worst time applying to jobs ever. i have been working since i was 15, mostly in food but with some teaching experience. i'm majoring in english with a minor in creative writing and history. i am extremely friendly, organized, and logical. i have applied to upwards of 100 jobs in the past month with absolutely no luck. i wrote a very long and thought out resposne to "why us?" for half price books and got rejected. yes, the english major. i am nearing the end of my rope. i have an autoimmune condition that makes it hard to stand or do physically labor, so i would love a sitting job or something on the easier side, but at this point i am willing to do anything. if you or anyone you know is looking for a friendly, academic, and analytical employee PLEASE let me know. i would especially love to work at a small business or nonprofit, but that's just a plus. if you need a secretary or a cashier or something please let me know :)
It's not a "clock in and collect a check" type of position. It fits someone who is coachable, communicates well, and is comfortable talking with people over the phone/Zoom.
The role is focused on helping families review benefits and coverage options. Training and mentorship are provided, but effort and consistency matter a lot.
Could be a good fit for someone who:
Wants to work from home
Is open to sales/client-facing work
Wants growth potential instead of a fixed ceiling Can stay disciplined without being micromanaged
Not trying to spam the group - just sharing in case someone here is actively looking or knows someone who might be a fit.
Comment or message me and I can send over the detalls.
Over the course of about 5 years in order I've worked B2B sales, investor relations for startups, (then had some lengthy health complications that made me basically restart my career), online DM'ing for ttrpgs, non-profit canvasing (a couple of times), overnight at a cat hotel, substitute teacher, retail at a sex store, drove for doordash, Lush cosmetics, YMCA afterschool, and currently working a part time interviewer position for a research company but it doesn't feel very stable, hours are weird, requires a lot of driving so ga$ cuts into my hourly.
My resume is chaotic and employers don't like to see someone that hasn't had a stable job since an adult toy store which I worked longest at for about a year (with the exception of my early B2B sales positions). Any advice on how to navigate this or positions I can seek where this would be less of an issue?
I'm ideally looking for something full time, something in an office, administrative. Also open to warehouse work, but my current work schedule didn't allow me to get my foot in the door with FedEx when I did apply. Didn't see any online openings with USPS. I've applied to a bunch of other stuff online but no one outside of the "direct sales" companies are getting back to me. Best case scenario is working at something like a book store, but no luck hearing back there either.
If I'm supposed to be playing the game then I'm not very good at it. I need stability, feel like I'm going crazy. Advice appreciated.
I've been building a Python scraper that pulls IT job postings from Dice and Indeed every week. Sharing what stood out in the Austin data from May 11-17 in case it's useful to anyone job hunting here.
**Top 10 hiring in Austin this week:**
**The most interesting signal in the data:**
Jabil Circuit ($30B electronics manufacturer, big Austin presence) has reposted the exact same role 12 times this week: "DevOps & Software Development Engineer." They also did it in mid-April (11 reposts) and late April (10 reposts).
**A few other patterns worth knowing:**
- Defense / cleared roles are quietly hiring more than people realize: General Dynamics (22), Leidos (16), SAIC (14), ICF International (18). TS/SCI helps a lot.
- Maximus is hiring TS/SCI cleared Senior Front-End Devs and has reposted the same role 5 times.
- Outlier AI's Python roles are mostly remote, decent if you want flexibility.
- Healthcare is thinner overall but UnitedHealth alone has 32 open AI/ML and cyber roles.
If anyone wants the full breakdown (including the Bay Area comparison and which companies use staffing agencies vs hire direct), I publish this weekly at hirekompass.com. No signup wall on the issues.
Curious what would actually be useful for people job hunting here, salary ranges? remote vs onsite split? specific tech stacks broken out? Happy to add it next week if there's interest.
Hi everyone,
I currently have my electrician apprentice license and I’m looking for work with a licensed electrician or contractor who is hiring apprentices.
I’m motivated, reliable, and eager to learn and gain more hands-on experience in the field. I’m open to residential, commercial, or service work and willing to start as soon as possible.
If anyone is a contractor or knows someone who is hiring apprentices, I’d really appreciate you reaching out or pointing me in the right direction.
Thank you!
Ok, I've been in the Austin software community since the mid '80s. Mostly in startups.
After my last layoff due to company redirection, I tried applying for Director and VP of Software positions with zero response. I'm assuming age bias was the reason.
However, I'm in great shape and still capable of coding and leading.
Not looking for money, but part time ways I can contribute my background and experience to others.
Any advice is appreciated.
A client of mine is looking for an in-person assistant to help manage both the personal and professional side of life. This role is a mix of personal assistant, household manager, and executive support.
We need someone who is organized, proactive, responsive, and good at figuring things out without needing constant direction. Real-life experience, common sense, problem-solving skills, and ownership matter more to us than a perfect resume.
This person should be comfortable handling a little bit of everything, including:
You should also be comfortable watching children and genuinely enjoy being around kids, although childcare is not the main focus of the role.
Ideal backgrounds could include:
This is a fully in-person role, and flexibility is important since every day can look a little different.
If interested, please message me directly. Thanks!
I am here to ask if this is true.
I have been laid off 2 months ago and actively searching for a new job and I am unable to find anything tech related.
Is it just me or Austin job market is dead?
Graduated from UT Law with my JD last year, didn't pass the Bar, and was laid off from my job a month and a half ago. I've been applying to stuff like crazy, but everything has been a dud. I know this is probably not going to be a fruitful attempt and is probably really annoying for the people who regularly are on this sub, but I thought I'd just post something here as a last ditch effort.
For reference, I have a BA in English in addition to my Juris Doctor, and I have a few years of experience working in law firms and nonprofits. I'm trying to pivot into more compliance-y stuff, but with respect to this post, I'm open to whatever. I just can't really do physical labor (I am very weak) and absolutely refuse to go back into retail/food service (I did a lot of that in undergrad, and I couldn't stand it).
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your advice and best wishes. I expected this post to get 0 attention, so it's nice to know Austin is still full of so much empathy (or sympathy rather haha).
I’m looking for work ethier at a laundromat or hotel front desk work. something or somewhere I can be in the back and have my 6 yr old with me. I know it’s not common but I have no other choice . I do house cleaning and offer babysitting but it’s not enough to get me by. thank you for any recommendations
im willing to do whatever kind work so long as he Is able to be with me
What's up, everyone? I'm employed but seeking career growth and exploring new opportunities, possibly moving from south Texas to Austin.
I have a Bachelor's in Marketing and experience as a marketing/social media manager for a soccer academy, handling sponsorships, customer payments, socials, graphics, and photography.
I then worked as a media communications specialist for a city, developing multi-channel strategies, creating content, managing digital platforms, and social media.
After three years, I've applied for marketing or communications roles, reaching later interview rounds but not getting offers yet.
I'm looking for roles with greater responsibility or growth potential and would appreciate advice on suitable positions based on my experience, as well as good places to apply in Austin. Given my background and experience, I am interested in marketing, communications, and PR. Thanks!
I'm currently in recovery from substance use and looking to work about 20 hours per week while I continue therapy. Seeking suggestions for low-conflict jobs that won't heap on the stress and sap all of my energy during this time. While there are many "service" type jobs out there, I'm not in a place right now to handle a lot of confrontation with clients or pressure to sell.
I'm in my 40s, have a bachelor's degree, can write and communicate well, and enjoy working independently and staying busy. Not worried about benefits right now, and it's okay if the job is not long-term. Thanks for your help.
How’s the working culture at Tesla Austin,TX? For both engineers and program managers, I heard it’s long hours and you are expected to be on site all the time and very long hours, can current or former employees share insights?
Any?

To be straightforward here. I was hired externally from the Rio Grande Valley to teach at a middle school going through the restart program this year. The principal told me that I was hired in a Zoom meeting a couple of weeks ago and I had already told my close family and friends that I was hired.
Then, they needed a reference from a current supervisor. I got that to them this past Wednesday and followed up to make sure the process was going along since after getting hired, I had not gotten the contract through email and was starting to get concerned.
This Friday, I got a message from the campus academic dean. Austin ISD is not likely to hire externally and while they would hold out hope, it was looking like my offer would not be accepted by the district office and my positions, that I was told I had, would go to someone internally.
I am just really upset about how this played out. I was already looking at apartments and had friends In Austin getting excited about my move.
I do not begrudge the district decision to not hire new teachers and try to reshuffle the ones they have given that AISD is going to be cutting 200 positions this year, I just wish they had not hired me at all in these circumstances.
I told my close friend about this and he was really upset in a way that I am kind of not. I guess for now I just can not rely on AISD for anything, this experience really burned me and I just feel like I can not trust this district.
I am currently looking at the districts of San Antonio, which is a much more mixed bag, San Antonio isd is having budget issues, as are the larger (and better) districts of NEISD and NISD, but they are a few districts a little outside of the district that are growing and gaining good reputations.
I am also looking at Round Rock and Pfugulerville, but it's difficult to work as a teacher in Austin when AISD is not on your side.
Before someone brings it up, I currently work at a charter school and it has pros and cons, but mainly I want to try a traditional ISD for the moment. Just a change of pace.
