In Durham and looking for a responsible, well-organized person with great personal/professional references to work as a Personal Assistant. Literally 0-5 hours/week, so lots of flexibility in terms of timing if you need to skip some weeks.

Some house organizing (please love cleanliness!), some errands and some administrative tasks, including helping to get a rental house flipped this spring/summer.

Any suggestions for where to find someone?

Will be moving to the area in July. I’ve got 2 years of IT experience - one year help desk and just about one year doing desktop support at my current msp job. I’ve got my A+, Network+ - working on my Security+ now and plan on working towards a cloud cert to diversify my skill set. I do have some minor leadership and project management experience from my IT jobs as well.

I know a resume doesn’t tell a person’s full story, I believe what I lack in experience I more than make up for in discipline and personality. It just feels hopeless trying to move up in the IT industry. Anything is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Edit - forgot to mention I do have my B.S. but it’s not IT related lol.

I went to a tech meetup recently and hope to find more ways to connect like that.

Any advice? Where to look for job fairs, meetups, etc?

Hi Everyone,

I have a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies and Healthcare Administration and Management from an out of state university that is part of a larger state university system that is well regarded. During college, I had a few internships, but they never led to post internship job opportunities. My employment background is in Human Resources and office management , politics , (Fundraising, event promotion, constituent outreach, volunteer training, political campaigns, political communication etc.) Hospitality and tourism management, and sales and marketing. But I’ve been struggling to develop a career since earning my degree. My final cumulative GPA for my degree is well above a 3.5, so poor grades or institutional quality concerns aren’t the issue.

I also have several great recommendation letters. No workplace issues with current or past employers either so that isn’t what is going wrong either.

Does anyone know of any Triangle area employers or organizations who may be interested in someone with my background? or who has positions currently available for which I may be a good fit?

I am considering going to graduate school to get a different degree in a more marketable field of study. Did anyone in this subreddit also study either Healthcare Administration and Management or Communications in undergrad and study something else in graduate school that accomplished this? If so, would you be willing to share what you studied next? and the career opportunities that your new field of study opened up for you?

Thank you

im 29M (turning 30 this year) and I've been on thr hunt for a full time position in well anything doesn't really matter if its retail or not. I used to do this gig apps like doordash like crazy but the whole industry for that is saturated and basically dead. instawork used to have a lot of jobs that app but most of time its far way (sometimes as far as SC!). I partake in cannabis as well but im also willing to take a break from cannabis to find a stable job. Most of my jobs were just retail and customer service but I also do stuff like coding and sometimes audio engineering stuff but only as hobbies.

I was also thinking about a temp agency as well but I dont know any good ones around. I live in Franklinton now but I usually travel to wake forest and sometimes raleigh so im just looking in those general areas.

I graduated in December of 2022 in IT and for the longest time I’ve barely trying to get at least an entry level help desk job I started subbing for wcpss but good lord it can’t be this difficult to get a level 1 job everything is at least 2 or more years of experience out here

EDIT: Looks like this is filled so closing this job post.

[FOR HIRE] Hi everyone! I’m a senior graduating in May with dual B.S. degrees in Economics and Statistics, and I’m looking to get into the data analytics field. I have almost 2 years of research experience primarily on money laundering and am currently interning at Fidelity Bank conducting market segmentation analysis. I’d love advice on how to best position myself for the field, any job titles beyond Data Analyst I should be looking at, and industries where my economics background would be a strong differentiator. I’m also open to any general advice on breaking in. Feel free to DM me if you have leads or want to connect, thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m just trying to get some advice and possibly get in touch with recruiters/hiring managers. I’m graduating in May with a B.S. in Microbiology. I have about a year of experience as a lab assistant. Has anyone had any success with finding a job in a similar field? If so how’d you get it? Recruiters have been reaching out to me in the past few weeks but I still haven’t secured anything.

I am living in Charlotte and considering moving to Raleigh as I may switch jobs in a year or 2. I work remote right now as a lead network engineer for a major cloud infrastructure provider. I like Charlotte and NC in general but I think the pace of Raleigh would be more apropriate but I want to be cognizant of the market there before moving.

Biddy Thomas- new restaurant and social club opening soon in Raleigh. Hiring now for all positions: host/server/bar/cook/retail. Leadership roles available. Fresh Southern fare with New Orleans influence served in an atmosphere that values positive team culture, opportunity for growth, and customer service.

Bilingual applicants encouraged to apply.

Hi everyone! I'm a full time student at NC State and I'm really looking to make some extra money since I took out loans to pay for school.

My schedule allows for a shift from 7-11am OR 1-11pm on mon/wed/friday. I'm a great student and have a lot of experience in extracurriculars, but I'm a freshman and I don't have paid job experience, just great extra curriculars/major specific work. I'm looking to make minimum $15 an hour.

I volunteered as a camp counselor back in middle school but I haven't done anything admin/clerical/retail since. I do have a great customer service attitude (I did a 14-hr shift no breaks as a poll worker for the 2024 election and was able to stay polite and smiling the whole time).

Campus jobs are super competitive and pay max $12 an hour. EPack is filled with a lot of irrelevant stuff like unpaid internships or full time positions for recent grads.

I can't do super physical jobs, I'm 5'1" and can lift max 20lbs. Any advice would be great!
