Hey there! I have customer service of 10 years and 3 years in a leadership position in coffee/retail. If anyone knows places that are hiring or if YOU need someone ASAP please feel free to reach out to me. I can send a resume and willing to start immediately. I will literally throw DOWN. You can trust I won't call in/slack off because I live paycheck to paycheck

It doesn't have to be retail/coffee. I'm willing to do ANYTHING. I WILL CARRY THE WORLD ON MY BACK FOR YOU

I used to work for a software / recruiting company that was working with some of the biggest tech startups but also some small < 10-person teams. Almost every company we spoke with had basically stopped looking at their applications since the launch of ChatGPT. Too many candidates using AI to create fake applications and spamming them to hundreds of different places. And their AI they used to filter on their side wasn't good enough, so they just gave up. Basically now just hire by internal referrals or using staffing agencies.

I feel like job boards aren't a great solution to the problem on either end because it just creates more areas for spam and worthless applications, and if you're putting actual effort into your applications, you're never going to get seen. The company I was working for was trying to build software where you made one profile and if you applied to one company, other companies in the network could see your profile too. So basically tons of ppl apply to big companies that aren't looking that often, but the smaller companies that actually do need to hire people can see all of the people looking for jobs as well. That model is hard because they served so many different kinds of jobs and there wasn't enough of each kind of role on the platform. But wondering if something like that model would work if it was focused on just one kind of job (like just restaurant servers or somthing).

Curious to hear people's experiences with job boards and what people think the solution actually is.

I am asking as an out-of-state candidate. I currently reside in Virginia, am a U.S. Citizen, and am considering to move to Austin for reasons both professional and personal. I hope to take on substitute teaching as a part-time gig until I am able to situate myself in a full-time role.
I have substantial substitute teaching experience, which has been my part-time income for the last two-and-a-half years.

Is the Austin Independent School District the only one that accepts applications? Also, which other districts in the area are thriving in terms of substitute teaching employment?

I’m hoping to get a part time serving or host position but I only have retail and some corporate experience. Does anyone know of restaurants close to downtown that train you on the job? Not fast food ideally.

Hi! I'm seeking help finding work. (I know, the job market is tough.) I have applied for thousands of jobs, and need employment very soon to maintain stability!

My work experience is in personal/executive assistance, operations and education. I am highly adaptable, attentive to detail and have a very diverse background. I have a Bachelor's in Public Health from a local university. I need to stay in Austin for at least two more years for my teen to finish high school at one of the top-performing schools in the state. If anyone can assist in any way to help me land a career opportunity, leads are appreciated! (Especially near livable wage.)

Hello

I visited Austin this past week and really enjoyed my time. I went to Barton Springs, some hilltops, some bar hopping, and stayed at my friend's place that was eye opening in regard to affordability/comfort/ space. I'm 24yo

I'm a very spontaneous person when it comes to travel, I decided to visit Austin at 9pm and was on a flight 6am the next day. Saying that, I've been wanting to leave the hell hole that is NYC. I've been here my whole life, visiting Atlanta for 5 years for college, and coming back for work opportunities and family. I'm ready to move and my trip didn't show everything about Austin, I didn't meet that many new people, I didn't try more than 10 spots to eat or sit - but I know that I would like to move here and leave NYC. It was lowkey a much calmer, friendly, manageable city than Atlanta but had very strong similarities. I think I will be moving to Austin by the end of the year.

Now the only way this idea works is if I can find work. I'm a soccer coach as the title suggests working at a Jesuit highschool, local town team, local academy team, and team-neutral training organization. I don't make more than 60k a year but I definitely don't live a crazy life - all I do is coach, play chess, and travel (whether for work or leisure.) | have money saved up, based on my friend's rent I can have about 1.5-2x years of Austin rent by the end of the year.

I know there's Austin FC and it's fairly new. Not going to lie I lucked out with my current jobs in NYC.
I work for amazing people and have been given wonderful opportunities, but it's time to move and dive into the unknown. Are there any reputable soccer teams with solid coaching opportunities/ development pathways besides Austin FC? Are there reputable Jesuit/Catholic/Christian Highschools I can apply to? Coaching is my passion and I'd like to have a similar setup concerning where I work. Should I expect to make more or less than NYC? I know there's no income tax which is mouth watering. Any advice or criticism is appreciated

Thank you

I’m homeless and been surviving off gig work. I thankfully have a friend I can stay with over the weekend and a kind redditor has taken my chihuahua in and offered to take care of him until I’m on my feet. However I haven’t been able to find any work this week, I spent all morning yesterday and today waiting for for at the Austin day labor center and with the holiday I know many people won’t really be needing any help this weekend. So I’m looking for anyone with any work, I can work for very cheap, I’m just looking to make money for some groceries to be able to eat this weekend. I age. Access to some lawn care equipment and can come cut your yard. Again I can do this very cheaply since it’s a holiday weekend!

I’ve been looking for a job in Austin since about a month. I was working with Ascension for a year but due to my work authorization expiring I had to quit. After 5 month I got my greencard and am legally allowed to work now. However there are LITERALLY no jobs available for me. I have in total 1yr telemetry experience as an RN and have applied to TONS of rn jobs but have no luck. Ned help!!!

Hi there! I'm about to quit my corporate job to do a toxic environment and definitely need a bartending or a serving job ASAP. I've been applying to some places through their website, but I was wondering if anyone knew any better ways to find a restaurant job quicker for Austin Tx

I've been a Registered Behavior Technician for the past 3 years, and I'm more than ready to transition to a different field. It's a physically and emotionally taxing job and often underpaid. I have my BS in psychology, and I really want to use it in a way that doesn't put me at risk of physical harm everyday. I've been applying for other jobs, via indeed and glassdoor, since February, and I haven't found anything. The few interviews I did get had been deceptive in their listings. Any leads on where to look or places to apply to would be so appreciated.

Hi there!
A lil back story, 29F. I work a state job. I have for the past 5 years. Decent pay and great benefits. But I am on the brink of insanity. The job is hard, most are I get that. But it’s emotionally taxing. I’m at the point where if I could quit tomorrow I would. BUT I live alone and I pay my own bills.

Any reccs or leads on jobs hiring in Austin? I have a degree- BS in Psych. I am trying to actually steer away from what I do now. (Social work) because it absolutely is ruining my life emotionally. Something with great benefits and maybe more slow paced or an environment where I’m not constantly being told by attorneys I suck lol. I don’t mind staying in the field but maybe not case work or directly dealing with children. 3 people have quit within the last month and I’m SPENT.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated! I make $30 an hr right now and have 2 weeks off per year.

Again, I’m grateful for my job but this is wrecking my emotional wellbeing 😪 I can’t do this for the next 20 years.

Ive been desperately applying left and right for employment in Austin and out of Austin after my job let me go in September and I am about desperate to do any type of work can someone help me out please! Ive tried all the hiring apps and going in person but im not hearing back! 🫩

Trying to help a friend expedite her job search. 30 yr old has experience with customer service plus hotel front desk. Desperately needs a steady job to help support her family. Can anyone suggest solid remote work or hotels located in N W Austin or Cedar Park? Thanks in advance.

Long story short I’m basically homeless and my cellphone line just got cut today. I really depend on it to get around, catch the bus etc or log into apps like insta work or even my Venmo. last time I came here and was able to get some work from some kind strangers so I’m kindly asking if anyone needs any work done today?

I'd really like to get a second gig working in a bar or restaurant again, but my weekly schedule is beholden to my full-time shift-work job (8 hour shifts ranging from 5am-10pm, depending). Does anyone work in a spot where it would be possible to just pick up shifts? Or where it's very easy to give up shifts I wouldn't be able to make it to?

I'd like a to work a couple nights a week, but I'm not allowed to set a permanent availability at my full-time (because of course), so if I'm getting scheduled at both, I could easily get overlap. Am I totally dreaming that I could try to get a restaurant gig and make it fit into my work schedule?

Hi,
I just moved to Austin and looking to get into medical or tech sales. I’ve worked with sales in 3 different countries and is there companies that offer part time sales positions to start off with (visa requirements)?

Yallllll
Some of you may have seen the many posts I’ve put on here before.

But I (22F) have been on the job hunt for MONTHS. I’m a flight attendant and I’m so fed up with the lifestyle.

I started my hunt by applying to healthcare jobs I was qualified for.

Rejection after rejection I felt defeated and lowered my standards
and applied to some very entry level jobs.
Rejected.

I finally put some pride aside and chose to apply to jobs at some grocery stores and things I kinda did as a teen. I even got an interview at Whole Foods I felt went very well.
N today I received a rejection email once again.

I have an interview soon at a hospital I used to work at in a different city for the same position I had before, but I even feel
hopeless about that….

I feel like I’m at my wits end. I know I’m not the only one struggling in this job market but I’ve just had enough of the rejections. I have a lot to offer these companies.

Idk what I’m seeking but if there’s somehow an option I haven’t exhausted I’m open to ideas…

I've been trying to get hired as a broadcast engineer, i get the interviews which are easy and I have experience from non public stations as a VTR operator plus cam op, TD freelance for small venues and working as a live stream operator. I mostly stagehand nowadays, its not enough as its all gig based. I don't know who else would hire me as even temp agencies don't know what to do with me or even understand what I do, they just see the word production and ask what type of factory have I worked in? Lol. Honestly I dont expect much from this sub just looking where I could possibly fit in for leads, this last month I worked only 2 weeks.

Edit: what temp agencies could help? I have a bachelor's in my field.
