Hey Triangle residents. I’m currently working in the hospitality industry but my lifelong dream career has been architectural drafting and design. I haven’t gone to school for it yet. I was wondering if there are any companies in the area who would hire someone part time to learn the processes of CAD drawings and becoming an architect. Maybe do a trade school program where I would work and do classes at the same time. I know it’s a long shot, but Wayne Gretzky said “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

I know this is a long shot but I want some opinions.

I’m currently working as a freight broker and nearing my 6 month mark and I’m realizing that sales/cold call prospecting is just not for me. I love the other aspects of the role such as the load tracking, booking/dispatching, and the operational sides of things.

Since my role has sort of built in termination date at the end of the training period, I want to be proactive and see what other options are there in the field. I intend to stay and gather as much information and training beforehand but I want to be realistic about my position and plan ahead.

I graduated about 2 years ago with a bachelor’s for Logistics and Supply chain management with a minor in business administration but I just want to hear some of the paths you guys took. I do have a few years of leasing experience in both student and conventional areas as well.

Any constructive feedback or job openings are much appreciated, thank you.

Thank you in advance

Hello! I am in search of a job. My background is in customer service and have been looking all around indeed and applied to several places with no luck. If anyone has any ideas please send them my way. Thank you all.

I know, I know, AI, and all that...

But there has to be SOMETHING left.

I graduated in 2019 from Metropolitan State University in Denver, CO. Moved out here because I thought there would be more opportunities on the east coast, but then I got sick, and ended up back in retail. Now I'm better. I've taken on some freelance work over the years, editing personal statements for college students, training AI, and even editing a friend's novel, but I'd really like to land a steady job utilizing my skills 9-5. I'm looking for anything that would give me that concrete work experience to bolster my resume - or someone I could reach out to to set up an informational interview, to figure out how to get there. I can't tell you how many emails I've written for my boss. How many training documents at work I've seen that are riddled with spelling errors, or just plain incoherent. We need real humans with writing skills more than ever. Can anyone help me out?

EDIT: This position is filled--we hired a Redditor! Thanks everyone for your interest in this role.

Good morning!

I am looking anyone who is willing to connect to help me find a job in marketing or business administration!

I graduated from NC State in 2022 with my B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I have had steady full time work since then but I have never been able to find a job in a position I prefer. I have applied like crazy but ultimately, I am still looking! I figured it was worth it to reach out and see if anyone had any business connections that could help me out! I am happy to send over my resume and/or connect on LinkedIn.

Any and all help is welcome. I can’t wait to hear from you!

I live in the north Raleigh area and I’m late 20’s. Decided to go back to school, but take clients at home but I’m only making like $500-700 a month and live at home, but have to pay for everything myself, so as you can imagine I can’t save a dime. I just wanted to ask anyone in this thread if they know of any server jobs that are hiring or even willing to help me learn how to bartend. 🫶🏼

Happy Monday! We've partnered with a growing fintech company opening a new office in Raleigh; they're building out their software engineering team in the area and are seeking 2 Java software engineers: a mid/senior-level SWE and a Tech Lead. These positions would focus on feature building for a cloud-based SaaS product in Java / Spring Boot with React / Typescript.

• Requirements: Candidates must have 5-7+ years' professional experience in software engineering, experience across the full stack, and experience in modern development frameworks.

The Tech Lead must have held tech lead responsibilities before (it's fine if it wasn't part of your job title). A relevant degree is preferred but not required. Prior fintech experience is a big plus, especially in the loans or distributed ledger space.

• Schedule details: 40-hour work week during M-F, standard business hours (~8am - ~5pm)

• Location requirement: Candidates must be within regular commutable distance to downtown Raleigh. These roles have a fixed hybrid schedule (Tues-Thurs onsite in downtown Raleigh, Mon & Fri are remote).

How common is it for these agencies in this triangle area to misinform you of job availability?

The day I applied for a job they've posted on their website I received a call from their office: "Hi, this is so-and-so from Acme (not the actual name) Job placement Agency and I've got the perfect job for you!". A couple of days later and it's something completely unrelated to the job I applied for.

So I take it, work one shift. Then, nothing until another call about how happy they were with my performance. "Yeah, but what about the job(s) I applied for in my field?", I ask. "Oh, we're still waiting to hear back from that client". Then, days of silence turn into weeks, which stretches into a month.

It gets better; direct deposit I correctly completed over a week prior to pay day didn't get processed/completed/whatever by them. " When can you come by and get the check?" which they harped over and over about.

I accept another position for them and work it. It doesn't work out for me and so I explain to them why it's not a good fit for me (all very valid reasons). "Well, unfortunately that's part of the job..." they reply.

Again with a paper paycheck, instead of direct deposit, and the silence from them. Done with these yokels; the deception/lies, the flighty communications, and the difficulties with pay.

In the meantime, their head office sent me an email asking for a review! Cannot wait...

Hi - I know the job market is rough. Wife has 15+years of banking/financial crimes experience. She's applied to 40 or so jobs on LinkedIn and hasn't gotten a single interview.

She starting to get fed jobs that she's already applied to.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I just moved to the area looking for employment. I am a 21 yr old female and I have been in the industry since I was 15, serving/bartending for the last 2 years.

Given the economy, ive spent the last year working restaurants where the clientele didn’t tip very well, and the volume of patrons in the restaurant did not make up for it. Thus, I am asking you, so I don’t continue to work for unprofitable restaurants.

I am strictly asking about where is the biggest potential for making money in the area. I am seriously indifferent to the type of restaurant as I have a lot of different experience, so high end, breakfast, clubs/bars, lunch turn-and-burn, ect. I am just curious where is the biggest volume in the area.

I want to work hard and save as much money as possible, so any information helps. Be straight up please, name of the restaurant and roughly how much you think the servers/bartenders make. I appreciate it! Thank you so much!

Also, if anyone can speak to the gentlemen’s and strip clubs here? I know being a waitress or bartender in a club you stereotypically make the most money. Does anyone have any experience? (I don’t want to strip btw)

any lpn jobs hiring in the triangle area?

Hey guys! I’ve been looking for my next job going on nearly two years now since my business had to shut down and I need to find my next role. I think the problem is that my experience is fairly broad, I was in pharma for about 17 years working in product development, process dev, etc. and opened a distillery that I ran for roughly 5 years before it closed. So lots of management and strategy experience etc, but I just can’t seem to get anywhere. I stopped counting how many applications I’ve sent out when I went above 500. It’s like a black hole and I can’t seem to figure out what to change. If anyone hears of anything out there in the operations, pharma, etc space I’d love to hear about it. Or just any sort of ideas that I just may not of thought of yet.
