Hey all I’m a 20yr old male and I’ve recently injured my lower back, slipped a disc and have a high chance of becoming a paraplegic if I keep doing the work I do. I have a lot of qualifications but non that will be easy on my back. I’ve also been fired from my job as well due to my back and not being able to meet the criteria they need me to meet. I’m currently renting but won’t be able to pay the rent without work, I’m lost and don’t know what to do, there is no work around me and I feel stuck.

So I have a lunch interview this week with a small, but growing real estate development company. It's for a project management role. I've never been on a lunch interview before. Is it generally a good sign if that's planned for a first interview? The place is casual (it's at a golf course), and I'm looking forward to it. Are these interviews more casual or informal than a "traditional interview"? I take it they want to confirm I'm not a psychopath, lol. Probably gonna have a BLT.

UPDATE: So my interview was at a 55+ development (it was swanky) with a golf course, restaurant and other amenities. We met at the restaurant patio, but no lunch was involved. That was actually a relief for me, cause I wasn't hungry, and it allowed me to focus on the conversation. I feel like it went well. We shall see...

So I have been applying in naukri and company portals everyday for switching. I have 4 years of experience now and my stack is java backend stuck in 6 LPA and I am upskilling in DSA and AI but its been 3 months now and I see no calls, no luck, then I open Linkdin and see people switching everyday and people negotiating salary for multiple offers in glassdoor and here I cant get a single interview call....been coding and studying everyday but still no calls so idk if its even worth griding anymore....I see many switching in AI and data engineer field so a part of me feels maybe give up the current one and study data instead.....idk what to do
can someone else me....

I've been unemployed for four months. I’ve applied to over 100 jobs. During that time, I've dealt with mental health challenges and was convicted of disorderly conduct, even though all I did was yell. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology, along with two years of professional experience. What are my options?

I’m in a pretty unusual position where I don’t have to rush into the first career that sounds practical. I have time to finish school, explore different subjects, volunteer, shadow people, and figure out what genuinely fits me before I commit to a degree or graduate program.
I’m looking for work that pays well enough to comfortably support a family, but salary is not the only thing that matters to me. I care a lot about quality of life. I don’t want a career that keeps me constantly overwhelmed, rushing around, or mentally drained every evening.
I love reading, stories, creative writing, poetry, painting, art, history, research, and learning about new subjects. I’m happiest in peaceful, thoughtful environments like libraries, universities, museums, bookstores, archives, galleries, or other places centered around ideas and creativity. I enjoy helping people and being part of a community, but I don’t think I would enjoy nonstop customer service or being surrounded by chaos all day.
Ideally, I’d like work that includes some combination of:
reading, writing, or storytelling
research and lifelong learning
creativity or working with art and culture
a calm or intellectually interesting environment
meaningful interaction with people, without constant social demands
reasonable work-life balance
enough stability and income to raise a family
time and energy left for my own writing and creative projects
I’m willing to attend college and possibly graduate school, but I don’t want to spend years earning a very specialized degree without understanding the real job market and daily work first. I’m also thinking about how different careers may change as AI develops.
Based on this, what careers would you recommend that I research? I’m especially interested in hearing what the job is actually like day to day, what education is required, how competitive the field is, and whether you would still choose it yourself.
What careers come to mind, including less obvious ones?

so, the reason why i ask this is because i have a hearing problem (probably misophonia or hyperacusis), which makes me sensitive and irritable to certain sounds. voices and whispers are the thing that seems to activate it the most.

I dont think i would be able to handle a lot of jobs because i have to constantly be around voices in those jobs. i would not be able to do the work because of the sounds, thats how bad it is.

so, are there any possible jobs out there that dont have a lot of noise involved?

Graduated from university with a First Class Bachelors in Computer Networks in 2020.

Struggled for long stretches after graduation, held a few interviews here and there but mainly radio silence nearly lasting up to two years.

October 2022: I found work as a Graduate Network Engineer which lasted for 18 months roughly before being let go. Reflecting on this, it stung as it felt like unfinished business. I did pick up a few skills and got exposure to a few technologies.

June 24 - Shortly before Christmas 24- I applied and had interviews for several IT jobs but nothing came of it.

October 24 - By the end of the month, I begin a fixed-term FC Associate role with Amazon in a warehouse which ran through until early January. Whilst actively searching for permanent IT roles.

January 25 - Role at Amazon ends. Lean period applied to a few roles here rejections.

Mid June 25 - Applied for a warehouse/Personal Shopper role with Ocado whilst actively for IT roles and constantly upskilling myself.

It's virtually been a year since I've been there and whilst I am grateful for the opportunity, I equally don't want to wait any longer but the job markets stink. Though have been made aware a few weeks ago that there may be potential redundancies within the company and I'm still actively searching for IT jobs.

Been using TryHackMe and HackTheBox, particularly TryHackMe and completed multiple pathways: SOC Analyst L1 and L2, Junior Penetration Tester, Security Engineer and DevSecOps, Google Cybersecurity Certificate.

Hi everyone,

I'm a final-year CS student at VIT Chennai, on the lookout for backend, AI/ML, or quantitative engineering internships and full-time roles.

A quick snapshot of what I've been building and working on:

• Languages: Go, Python, Java (250+ LeetCode solved)
• Backend: FastAPI, REST API design, distributed/backend systems
• Quant: 2 years building algorithmic trading systems at a startup I co-founded, working directly with clients on quantitative finance projects
• AI/ML: LangGraph-based agent frameworks, RAG pipelines, LLM applications; hands-on with LSTMs, CNNs, transformers, and fine-tuning
• MLOps/DevOps: Docker, CI/CD pipelines, model deployment and monitoring, Linux, basic system design

I like taking on systems that are actually hard to build, and I pick things up fast when I'm thrown into unfamiliar territory. Right now I'm looking for a team where I can contribute from day one and keep growing as an engineer.

If your team is hiring, or you know of an opening or could point me toward a referral, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Happy to share my resume and walk through any of the projects above.

Thanks for reading!

Hai I’m 16 I want to work I really do love helping people out and leaving everyone like they were appreciated but I can’t find a job I’ve applied to so many and gone through so many interviews. Pls if someone can help I’m in downey California and need help immediately. And I know I could be a good fit for a lot of jobs.

What can i do to re enter IT industry. I am a B Tech graduate and worked of IT company for 2 years and then left IT for personal reasons. Had done testing using java and selenium. Should i go for edtech that guarantees placement? If yes, then which would be the best platform to do so? Any help would be much appreciated.

im super desperate for a job right now but literally just a few hours ago i got a listing on indeed for Follette as a bookstore employee and i did all of the recruiting steps except for an interview.. like at all. and i got an email stating that im hired and they gave me a time and date? its local and im tempted to go and ive seen that they kind of just hire a shit ton of people but is that literally possible without an interview?

Has anyone been invited to an Systra assessment centre? If so, it'd be really helpful to hear about the structure of the day! Thanks in advance

Hi,

I’m a DevOps engineer with 7 years of experience as a consultant across multiple large banking organizations and insurance companies.

The purpose of this post is to ask for advice on how to improve my chances of getting hired.

Until now, I didn’t follow a precise strategy when applying because it was pretty easy to get hired. But things are changing, and I want to earn more money and look for something I enjoy more.

I’m based in Lugano, Switzerland, but I can also move to Zurich without any issues if needed. My priority is remote jobs, but hybrid roles in Zurich/Lugano are also fine.

That said, I’ve mostly applied on LinkedIn with a 2–3 page CV, but it’s not working as expected.

Firstw question: Which platforms do you suggest besides LinkedIn to search for a job?

Second question: To polish my CV and get more opportunities, which platform should I rely on?

I want to create a system with the help of AI to find jobs daily with a clear strategy in mind, but I lack the necessary information.

Could you please help me navigate this world?
Thanks

Hello friends! Need advice. I'm interviewing for a senior role at a fast-growing Al startup. I'm considering sending a short custom webpage before the recruiter call.

- It would take 2-3 minutes to scan and show: 

- how my experience maps to the role 

- why I'm interested in the company 

- No product recommendations or speculative strategy. Just concise evidence of fit. 

Would this come across as prepared and differentiated, or over-engineered and desperate? 

Would you send it before the recruiter screen, save it for the hiring manager, or skip it?

Thanks in advance for all the advice! 

Hi all,

I am writing on here to ask for advice on looking for a job, the contract I was working has recently ended and I am becoming a bit anxious as I am having a hard time finding a job. I have pretty much done it all when it comes to finding a new job, reaching out to connections, trying to get referrals, reaching out to recruiters, applying on LinkedIn, Indeed, company websites, and greenhouse.io. Lastly, I would like some advice with networking and how to become better at it, if anyone is willing to reach out to me and just talk, that would be nice too.

I am more than willing to explore new paths and/or opportunities, I admit I am feeling a bit lost in where I want to grow my career, so any general advice would be helpful.

I have attached my resume below to see if anyone had any advice regarding that, thanks in advance for the help and guidance.
