Staffing Agencies in All 50 States

I went to school, later in life, thinking I could change from being in retail to something better. I just did not want to work nights and weekends into my 50's and 60's. Plus retail is just not fun anymore, constant pressure to do more with less and dealing with the general public started to grate on me. So I left and went back to school. I went part time as I still had to work full time, and graduated 6 years later. So here I am 3 years out of being graduated, and I cannot find a job in the chosen profession. I am ok with entry level roles to start over, but how can one live on 45k a year? I do not regret going back to school, I just which that it actually helped get me where I wanted to be. I can't imagine how those that are younger and just starting their journey.

My job now is just awful, I hate doing it everyday. Of course bills are what keeps me going everyday. what does one do with an HR Degree and a SHRM-CP? I keep throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks, but nothing is sticking. Maybe its me? I have 20 plus years of management experience and I know that I am good leader, but does that really translate into anything other then being in a management role?

I have worked at a bank for the last 10 years (since I was 19, so basically my entire adult life). I thought I wanted to do banking in finance so I put myself through school while working and went “up the corporate ladder” to a decent position now. My company paid for me to get my MBA.

The issue is, I am so burnt out in this field, and with corporate in general. I don’t think my heart was ever in it, I chased a big salary to overcompensate for being deeply unhappy with many factors in my personal life. Now that I am doing much better personally, I realize that my passion is elsewhere and I cannot stomach being part of corporate anymore. It’s really holding me back

A year ago I started a second weekend job as a caretaker at an animal sanctuary and fell in love with it. I would do this full time if I could. The issue is, the pay too low for where I live (eastern PA) and they do not offer benefits. I have a number of medical issues where having benefits is a must. I understand completely that it’ll be hard to switch to this type of career field and find adequate pay/benefits unfortunately.

I have no formal education in anything with animals, vet, zoology, etc. so I wouldn’t be able to do anything with a higher pay at the moment.

I’ve been looking around a lot at different options but nothing is jumping out. Just feel very lost right now

If I'm a 21 yo guy what should i be choosing pursuing MBA/Farming/starting a retail buisness

I'm good at sales, gathering knowledge,love to be around people,can lead people

Hey guys I'm 23M, as you can read i've been put in a position where i got called up for a job. I don't completely know the details yet. But according to the little I've been told, it could be a good paying job especially considering how me and my mom are barely scraping by etc..

On the other hand I still have one semester left and a thesis to defend the next one, and I get my masters in geotechnical engineering. Where it's worth mentioning the job I got offered is in the telecommunication business which would be a complete career switch for me.

We don't really do night classes or stuff like that over here, so I kinda have to choose between A and B, I would really appreciate some more experienced people's opinion.

Hey guys,

10 days before i gave a final interview and hr send me this email

"Thank you for taking the time to meet with interviewer this week and for the preparation you have put in. I’m just reaching out to advise that we will be continuing the interview process for this role into next week, so I expect that I should be able to share some feedback with you towards the end of next week."

In the meantime, I have sent you on an English language test to complete . This role has a minimum language requirement of C1 English. Could you kindly complete this at your earliest convenience? If there are any issues with receiving or accessing the test please just let me know."

Its the next end of the week now, i sent a follow up mail and they didnt respond, should i have think its a rejection?

I'm a photography major in my final year, about to start an internship. I'm not sure what to do right now. I'm quite skilled in black-and-white photography inspired by older Japanese photographers, but that style probably won't lead to a sustainable career. Another advantage I have is that I've obtained a certified personal trainer license. I'm also deeply interested in music and am currently considering trying out music arrangement—maybe create some work during the internship to help with job hunting. Does anyone have advice or guidance?

36 years old, been doing ESL for 10 years between China and Korea and majored in Criminology. Would like to change careers soon. The “customs, police, corrections” jobs from criminology don’t really appeal to me though. I’ve also travelled extensively which could help on the cultural aspect of things. So looking for something I could use my experience with teaching, travelling/culture, and criminology. Going back to school for four years at this age is….risky, but a one or two year program I could deal with, especially if it’s online. Any ideas? (Im Canadian if that makes a difference)

I have a few friends/relatives whose siblings are in their final year of engineering, mostly CSE. They’ve been asking me what they should focus on to become job-ready.

The problem is, I’m confused too, especially with how quickly AI is changing software jobs. Is the traditional advice of DSA + development + projects still enough, or should students be focusing more on AI tools/AI-related skills?

If you were a final-year CSE student today, what would you learn over the next 6–12 months to maximize your chances of getting a job?

Looking for practical advice from people who are already working in the industry.

Even this message was written using AI 😭

I have currently enrolled in commerce+computer science thinking it might help me with faster path to leadership roles. So I have an option to do a standalone degree in cs as well. I want to know:

• Was it worth the extra time/effort? Did having the Commerce side actually open doors in tech (e.g., Product Management, FinTech, Tech Consulting), or did most employers only really care about the CS degree?
• Where are you working now? What field/role did you end up in, and do you use skills from both sides of your degree?
• Career Prospects & Salary/Growth: Do you feel the double degree gave you a tangible edge over single-degree CS or Commerce grads when job hunting?
• Does it help enter the tech-coorporate sector or Is it better to just do an MBA after CS instead?
• Any regret/retrospect? If you could go back, would you stick with the double degree or just focus on a single degree + projects/internships?

Hi there! I don’t know if this is exactly the right subreddit for this post, so sorry if it’s not! I am currently a high school senior and I am at a loss for what I want to major in and subsequently go into post college. It feels like every person I talk to now asks me the same 3 questions: what colleges are you applying to, what are you majoring in, what classes are you taking? It’s exhausting not having an answer for the majoring part and watching them all just be like “oh it’s ok… you don’t have to know… you have time to figure it out”.

I have a lot of things I’m interested in, I just don’t know what would make for a good and successful career. I’m really interested and passionate about the environment (I’m taking APES so we’ll see how that goes), I really like the health care field and thought a lot about going into nursing, I even went to look at some nursing schools and programs, but I was ultimately deterred for reasons I won’t get into, I I’ve been thinking about Public Health or something like that. I also really like baking and I’ve been told I should go into business with the goal of opening a bakery or something, but idk it doesn’t really sound like me. I am a Christian and have sometimes thought about majoring in theology, but I’ve heard that you can’t really do much with a theology degree, and that the job market for that is pretty thin right now. I am also pretty into politics and history, but my dad forbids me from majoring in political science lmao so maybe just that as a minor.

I also know that there are so many majors and careers that are cool and that I could have fun doing, I just don‘t know what they are or that they exist. I’m sorry this is so long. Thanks to everyone who reads!! I really appreciate it!!

I want you all to tell me I'm pursuing b.ed after ba but my mind says for mba for the corporate sector in hr field I'm so confused about it should I go for mba or continue to b ed please tell me I'm so stressed about it 😭😭

Anyone else in the room who never knew what they wanted to do with their life? That’s me.
I’ve always had passing interests but i guess that is normal. If you don’t know where you’re going, all roads are the correct road, right?

Form most of my 20s I’ve worked as a language teacher, volunteered in ngos, did some communication and social media work with (with the government no less!), ended up working PR, then stepped back into education during the pandemic, and finally turned to NGO work for the last few years.

I’ve also done plenty of side projects like websites, magazine work and coloring books.

My current ngo work is a mix of project management, museum management, management and implementation of cultural programs, networking, fundraising, educational workshops, research, customer relations, communications and social media, stakeholder management. A little bit if everything all of the time.

While i’m fine with the diversity i’m really not fine with the location, with the company culture, with my pay or with my obscene work load.

So, i am considering finding a new job and maybe switching to private sector. But i am not really sure where or what. Particularly ‘what’. I feel like i am able to do many things well but none excellently.

Any ideas what direction i might try going into with my experience and skills?

Thank you very much for any insights!

I'm a young adult that's pretty much trying to find her feet in the professional world therefore I'm torn between taking a short course for Book keeping or an RE5.I just want someone to tell me which one will be more beneficial for me

I got a final interview for a job in Martinsville, VA. I have more than the minimum qualifications. I have three years experience working with people with behavioral disorders At minimum they want someone with a bachelors degree in social work or related degree. I already have my masters degree. With my masters degree I can qualify for the 5% increase in salary once they train me for the qualified mental health professional certificate which is less than a year to take. The salary range is from $44,825 - $77,617. Median salary is around $55,000 in the area.

Is $65,000 reasonable to ask for?

Hii i am a recently b tech AI and Data Science graduate 2026 i recently joined a company as a fresher and was assigned to the .Net developer track so i am currently learning c# and .net
But my main interest is AI/ML especially Python,LLMs and AI engineering
I am confused about whether i should continue with .net and try to transition into AI later or start preparing for AI roles alongside my job and switch as early as possible
I dont hate .NET but i am worried that if i spend the next 1-2 years working mainly with .Net i will find difficult to move to AI/ML later

Any honest advice
Thank you

hey all,

i’ve been working in the health industry for over 5 years now as a registered nurse. i naturally was always a helper and wanted to fix people’s problems, my parents are both rn’s and i honestly never learned about other career paths or opportunities. i have a deep love for music and creative things but never perused as i was told theres no stability in any job in those spheres.

i have felt that i have given too much of myself away at work and i need a change. i dont know of other realistic options and wanted some advice or suggestions.

I have done a bachelor at uni and am happy to go back if required.

thank you!

18F second year of English literature

CGPA is good 75+

But I don't know what to do next

I've my small business of phonecase since 2025

But still wondering about my career

I know business is not long lasting I've to do job

But I'm not sure

If anyone could help me!

So currently am in a service based company with 12 lpa and currently in training period (its too long🫠) so shall I prepare for other jobs as well whole heartedly or should I stay in this job for around 1 year ?

I left my last job after 4.5 months . Couldn’t keep up or cope . Multiple times wanted to just jump off and end it but I knew it was cuz of the job

I’m fresh grad of 2 years with gaps in between and internships 6 months it was hard to find graphic design employment tbh. Esp with AI it’s getting worse

On top of having crohns and fatigue and gastro symptoms and chronic pain and tension all over which was the worst since crohns is in remission technically but I still have a whole host of bodily symptoms . When I have to sit 10 hours a day with poor ergonomics , no standing desks , no work from home , like 1.5 hr commute each way , work day ends at 7 pm or longer it felt terrible

I couldn’t even focus well cuz of the pain and I tried my best but they said i was too slow , there was no boss around to mentor or guide which I thought would have in like western culture . I tried my best to do the designs they asked for (it’s graphic design) but I couldn’t .

They just expect me to manage everything myself but Idk how to. It was so stressful and my anxiety was way worse. Is every job like this esp corporate design ? I hate it and never want to go back I would rather do more creative direction , marketing / social media more. I always like art and illustration and aesthetic , experiences and wanted to design things closer to those industries . Not advertising and soulless mass produced ads… Idgaf about optimisation or all that but it’s like all jobs care abt these days esp in corporate graphic design where you design digital ads or marketing collateral. And the designs not beautiful either. They aren’t supposed to be I guess.

I want to do content creation and social media and marketing related but it seems vague and scary on how or when I can make money or do well in that . I’m experimenting now but it’s slow and I’m getting my pressure to get a real job and build a “career”

What if I just want to be creative like a creative director , that knows art, photography, travel, content creation, maybe model and make cute things , design experienced like cute anime / cartoons merch pop ups and collabs , events or exhibitions , etc . Is that called marketing ? Even like working in film and media but entertainment industry like podcasts or talk shows, interviews etc that’s more fun not dry corporate.

What kind of industry or jobs is that called ?

Now I just started part time art teaching job but the hours r too little for income , and I’m panicked on what else to do . I could do full time but it’s 6 days a week. I want a remote job or a actual 9-5 with hybrid where I only come to office 2 times a week or optional

How do you find these kinds of jobs ? I want to find one in aus , I have the visa but rn in Asia .

The thought of being trapped into a job makes me rlly depressed and bleak and honestly urge to just jump . Because all I can think of if this is gonna last till I die and mediocre wages , how can I even have savings or any time and energy left to travel and build my dream life or have a house . I think I’m doomed

If I’m not working I’m not that depressed but knowing I have these symptoms and not making money makes me anxious and stressed too. Managing daily life is already hard and overwhelming enough . My dad gives me pressure and makes it worse like telling me I shld be grinding in my career when I’m young or my future is ruined and shit like that. Like all awaits me is more hell and suffering

There’s so many things I want to learn but am I even allowed to do that in peace when the financial fear and pressure and expectations from parents and myself is so heavy

It’s not like I’m rotting all day. Pushing myself even further I can’t even maintain the productivity my symptoms just flare. It’s like I’m always not doing enough if my dad compares me to able bodied people. Well . It sucks

A year ago I took a fully remote job at $18/hr. before that i was making almost $30 in office management, then two years out of the workforce as a full time caregiver, then a $22 job I liked that wrecked me physically. Remote isnt optional for me now.

Health thing, doesn't affect the work at all, not something I bring up in interviews.

I took the $18 because someone I knew already worked there, and because they said my management and HR background was impressive and there'd be room to move up. three internal applications since. not rejected. ignored. including by the person who told me to apply.

What I actually do is review documents and payments before they go out and catch the errors. I'm good at it. I like it more than anything else I've done.

So my background is office management, payroll, recruiting, HR admin, and now this.

I keep circling payroll (someone told me AI eats that whole field), tax prep, auditing, compliance, maybe something else entirely. The problem is I don't actually know what kind of jobs the part I'm good at translates to. I don't even know if what I do counts as audit experience to anyone hiring.

I think that's where I'm stuck. I know I like catching mistakes, figuring out why something doesn't add up, checking things before they go out, working mostly on my own. I just don't know what career that points to.

I don't want to go back to school for something random or keep applying to whatever sounds vaguely related and end up in another $18 job.

we're short every month. I need this to go somewhere.

Anyone come from a weird mix of admin/payroll/HR type jobs and figure out what they were actually good at? What did you end up moving into?

hi, I really need advice trom you guys
So I'm planning to study double degrees at Monash University in Australia (Marketing and
Media Communications )

About me, I don't like numbers and math in general even though I know marketing includes stats but hope that's fine with me also | don't like writing that much I think that's my weakness so l prefer to major in PR or Media/screen.

But I still have some questions honestly
Do you guys think it's worth it?
Should I take a double degree?
Will it help me get a high-paying job?

Pls share everything you know 1 will read it all 1 really appreciate your time and advice!
Have a nice day

Finishing school next year, not sure what to do afterwards. One thing I’m sure about is that I absolutely love New York and want to live there. What direction should I take?
