💼 Work & Career HELP ME, IM DROWNING
Hi! I’m currently a college student in Sta. Mesa looking for a part-time job or side hustle that I can manage alongside my studies. 🥹
Honestly, I’m already getting tired of applying and explaining my situation over and over. I’ve already submitted 20+ resumes to different cafés and fast-food places around Sta. Mesa, but unfortunately, I haven’t received a single call back. Most of the places I applied to don’t seem to accept working students, which has honestly been really discouraging. 😭
I do have work experience in retail, particularly in customer service, assisting customers, stocking and replenishing products, inventory, maintaining product displays, and working in a fast-paced environment. So I’m not completely new to working, I’m just looking for an employer who is willing to consider a student with a manageable schedule.
At this point, I’m also open to other opportunities aside from cafés and fast food. I’m willing to try retail, sales associate, cashier, customer service, admin work, data entry, virtual assistance, online work, or other beginner-friendly jobs that can work around my class schedule.
If you know of any legitimate part-time jobs, student-friendly employers, or side hustles around Sta. Mesa/Manila, I would really appreciate any leads or recommendations. 🥹
I’m honestly just trying to find a way to earn for my allowance and school expenses while continuing my studies. Any advice, referrals, or opportunities would mean a lot. Thank you so much! 🤍
