My son is 17 years old and going into senior year. He has had two jobs before but left his previous one because it was miserable for him and not what he needed to be happy.

Now he can’t find any jobs at all. He’s been searching since he got off school, and tells me he’s applied to over 50 jobs and can’t seem to get an interview! Does anybody have any advice? I’m sick of him sitting at home all day.

Earlier last month I applied for an office job for the city of Raleigh. The day before yesterday I received notice that my application is being sent to the Hiring Manager for further consideration.

I am curious. Does anyone have any experience with applying for/interviewing with the city itself? Like how long does the process take? How many levels?

I ask because years ago I applied for some jobs at NC State and other local government jobs. They either took a LONG time to get notices and some apparently are still open (on the govjobs site I see one I applied for in 2020, and I am STILL listed as under consideration).

Still no bites for a survivable paying job after searching this area for 2.5 years. And it doesn't make sense financially to drive 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes one way for a position that only pays $20/hour. What is the deal here??

I have 4 years of experience and a strong resume , can someone help out or give me a lead on landing a job.
I have VT, MT, UT, I also have PAUT and TOFD. Not as experience in PAUT and TOFD. But confident enough to pick it up quick.

I’m moving to the Triangle in August and need some good job recommendations and advice.
I have a masters in Organizational Leadership, a Bachelor’s in Health Promotion, and have been working as a teller at a credit union for over a year now.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a new student at WakeTech pursuing its auto associates and I'm thinking about taking some CE. I've done my own radio, brakes, windows, window tint, and oil changes, and I want to do even more.

I just got done with a several month temp job as an appliance installer for Power Construction during the building process of The Hub(student living for nc state students).

I need recommendations on a blue collar job and or any other job that's available and willing to be quick to hire.

Thank you.

My background
*Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice
*1 year of experience as a detention officer

I really don't wanna work in law enforcement anymor so I'm open to anything else besides those jobs.

Hi everyone,

I'm a Raleigh-based Anthropology graduate from Appalachian State University looking to connect with people who may know of opportunities in the Triangle that align with my background and interests.

Over the past few years, I've worked in administrative support, customer service, and student support roles. While at App State, I volunteered helping students navigate scholarships, study abroad opportunities, academic documentation, and university resources. I'm currently working as an operations assistant, where I coordinate administrative processes, maintain records, communicate with customers, and support day-to-day operations.

One thing I've realized during my job search is that the work I find most meaningful involves helping people navigate complex systems, connecting them with resources, and making complicated information easier to understand. I'm especially interested in roles related to:

• Student services
• Academic support
• Higher education administration
• Program coordination
• Community engagement
• Outreach
• Nonprofit administration
• Public service

I'm open to hearing about organizations, departments, or job titles I may not have considered. I'm not necessarily looking for a perfect match right away, but I'm trying to learn more about where my skills and interests might fit within the Triangle job market.

Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
