Hey y'all, want to make sure everyone stays safe out there and is aware of a scam that's been going around this sub and some other job search subs.

Scammers are leaving comments or sending chats offering job seekers an "online part-time job." They are very vague about the type of work, and offer between $50-300/week, sometimes more. If you respond to them via chat, they will ask to remote into your computer, usually through a remote desktop application called AnyDesk.

Needless to say, do not allow them access to your PC.

If one of your posts on r/trianglejobs receives a comment like this, please report the comment right away. If you receive a DM like this, please message me (either personally or via the "message the mods" function on TriangleJobs) with the account's username and a screenshot of the message you received. Thanks for helping keep this sub safe for job seekers!

I've been job hunting for a while now, and I'm looking to relocate. When I do apply, I do make sure to emphasize that I'm willing to relocate, but don't hear nothing back at all. I figure that it's because I live some miles away.

I do see a lot of positions, but am hesitant to apply in fear of being turned down because of location. How can I go about doing this?

Hi everyone, I’m a 50-year-old woman moving from NY to Raleigh and starting over after a divorce, which feels exciting and mildly terrifying at the same time.

I used to work in HR hiring home caregivers in NY, and one thing I noticed in Raleigh is that while housing and food seem cheaper compared to NY, anything involving human labor and services costs a lot more. Which made me question continuing in caregiver recruiting because the shortage of physical workforce seems very real here.

I’ve been considering going back to school for an esthetician license as well.

Right now I’m trying to figure out what realistic jobs make sense for someone my age starting over alone, with myself as my only source of income.

I considered restaurant work while rebuilding my life and look for a stable job, but from what I’m reading, the College students are fighting for those servers jobs pretty intensely.

I would genuinely love advice from locals about industries or jobs where a woman my age can still build a decent life in Raleigh.

I’d appreciate any input.
Thank you

All I want is a 9-5 job paying 20 a hour so I can build my buisness on the side but no can’t get that at all I have forklift certification a decade of warehouse experience some tech certs like the google cert and career readiness cert… nothing at all I even show up to temp agencies they say they will email if something pops up.. nothing god damn do I really need a degree for something I can be trained and learn anyway like Got damn

I know the market is hard, but I'm looking for companies that aren't fully commission-based, selling phone plans in Walmart, or going door-to-door in neighborhoods. I don't mind going to businesses as I have experience with that but personal homes feel too dangerous. And insurance is just a hard thing to sell, I don't want my job to be scamming people.

Anyone know of any companies that meet these requirements?

Hi, I'm looking for job recommendations in Raleigh, NC/ wake county for a full time senior college student or even certifications that I can obtain quickly to make at least $20/hr. I can't do certifications with clinicals (phlebotomy, pharmacy tech, etc.) because of school and I need to be able to work 2nd or 3rd shift since I will be in class everyday throughout the week. My rent is increasing dramatically and I cannot afford to stay on my own unless I find more income. I currently have lots of retail experience (walmart, amazon, mcdonald's) and I'm currently a mental health counselor. I recently got an internship offer so I'm looking for role suggestions for after my internship. Plz help

I'm losing my job in 6 weeks. 11 years in the IT industry with an MBA and AWS/automation experience and out of the few HUNDRED applications Ive sent out the last few months, haven't gotten a 1st round interview. My wife & I are relatively new to the area so I can't really compare what it was like a few years ago. Starting to get desperate since my wife can't pay our mortgage alone.

Any recruiters or hiring managers out there who can just give me BLUNT advice? I've redone my resume hundreds of times and last year I was ATLEAST getting a 1st round interviews

hiiii! I 24f am looking for my first server job and am having trouble finding someone willing to take me in considering I don’t have previous experience :/ I did a couple weeks at a restaurant a while ago but I’ve been ubering/instacarting/doordashing for about 3-4 years so I kind of have that customer service background if that counts. I’ve also done housekeeping and worked grocery before. I could really use the money and ive been told people would throw their bucks at me so I wanna use it to my advantage lmao. Anyone know of any openings?

I am a male high school student who needs to earn $600 in 2 weeks. My part time job isn't going to cut it this time lol.

I have a friend who is facing pending charges and really wants to work. He is a hard working single father and really wants a job can someone advise or have or know of someone hitting. He’s never had these charges before and is really struggling. He is a hard dedicated worker

Looking for anything at this point as long as the pay starts off at at least $15-$20 an hour. Willing to drive to Raleigh/Dueham area from Pittsboro. Thanks in advance

Can you recommend some legit temp recruitment agency in the area for my son who is computer science graduate and looking for a job? He searched and there's so many of them so looking for something that you know and have used in the past. Thanks.

Posting on behalf of my partner because she doesn't have Reddit but she's miserable and I hate seeing her struggle. Hi my partner (31F) is an attorney that has worked for the federal government for the past few years. She has several chronic illnesses that make commuting to an office daily impossible (she cannot drive). She tried to get reasonable accommodations to allow remote work but it was denied several times. We currently live outside of Washington DC but I am originally from NC so we would like to move back to Raleigh to be closer to family. My partner has been applying to jobs for almost two years with no luck. We understand that finding something completely remote in this job market is nearly impossible but I figured worst case I'm wasting my time. The type of law my partner does is telecommunications law but she's been applying to anything and everything she could be even close to qualified for. Everyone keeps telling her she's doing all the right things but she's almost up to 1,500 applications with only 3 interviews. If anyone has any advice or connections that would be amazing. She is desperate for any kind of feedback that's not "you're doing all the right things, I don't know what to tell you".

Looking for a team of editors that can do high level and large volume edits with some vfx / Ai integration.
Must be local.
Must have experience
Must show portfolio

Thank you

My husband and I currently live in the DC area where the job market is the absolute worst we’ve ever seen in the nearly 20 years we’ve been here. He used to have his dream job as a federal contractor for the Treasury which was going to be turned into a federal job after his contract ended in late 2025, but a certain orange person put a stop to that. Now he can’t find anything full time, much less anything in his field. We have a few friends and acquaintances in the exact same boat…it’s really awful here. There’s zero jobs, but the cost of living continues to skyrocket regardless.

I work remotely for an organization in Arlington so I can work from anywhere, so we’re thinking about moving somewhere else with a better job market and more affordable housing. We’ve always liked NC and I have some family in the Raleigh area. We‘re thinking of selling our place here and buying a much nicer place in the Raleigh area where I can have a dedicated home office and where my husband can find full time work.

So with all the at said, I guess my question is this: How easy is it to find full time employment in the Raleigh area? (I’m talking any job, including retail, food service, anything!) We’re really unhappy now, but given the cost and stress of moving, I’d be worried that we could just be exchanging one bad situation for another and it wouldn’t be worth it. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide 🙂

Hey all, I have a BS in IT and about 5 years experience. I am looking for a lateral move to a better work environment. My experience is closer to tier 2 and not yet tier 3. I am working on upskilling, but right now I hope to find a better work environment for team work and career growth.

Any advice on companies to watch out for? Places hiring? Things have been a bit tough, hoping to get any advice.

Thank you
