What is the best way to find a new job?

[DoctorDre]

I would start by creating a unique design of my CV and apply directly to the posts I am interested in , going directly to big companies or sending them my CV

Well, as of right now I am still looking for work. I haven't had an interview since the end of May and can't wait for my next one. Having a journalism degree is tough. It's really about who you know.

Whenever you get an interview with a big company, make sure no one else is around. I had an interview recently with a huge company, it was a hangouts interview with 3 top dogs. My sister decided to bring her kids for lunch while I was doing it and her son kept coming into the video and I didn't get it. They basically told me, due to background noise and kids running around, you will not be offered the position.

I have been in hospitality for the last 7 years and have grown disenchanted with it. Made supervisor at my last gig with comfortable pay that helped me back my side hustles like my freelance writing gigs and shit.

Then the parent company shut it down cause of high rent and space limitations (it was in expensive ass times square). They are looking for a new bigger locale to open in the winter. Since I rather work than collect unemployment I agreed to something where Im making about 500 dollars less per month. In NYC that goes a long way but I decided to bite the bullet for now and see if I stack a few stacks working at this place until the new year.

I might have to start looking into federal jobs in the meantime since they're more stable. At least till I could fully transition into my real industry of choice with ease. What are good sites for those listing? And what would be suggested to be highlighted on a resume for someone looking to transition into that job sector with no experience?

Well I've pretty much have given up on looking for a job and I'm thinking about taking a few classes at the college I graduated from and entering in the entrepreneur program early next year.

My problem is I have a physical impairment and I've been dealing with my vocational rehabilitation for about near 1yr 1/2 and all they have sent me through is a bunch of job training programs in that time with only 1 "interview" and that was in the spring. Idk one company that does interviews in an apartment complex. Shady ass shit.

I done been through so much shit dealing with this VR place it ain't even funny. Then to make it worse these jobs are very unrealistic if you're someone with a disability.

As I talked about a lot in a Dave Ramsey thread I want to get out of debt. It is certainly tougher when you have a newborn son and added expenses such as your car breaking down. I did my budget again and by the end of the year depending on how much of a tax return I get and put in to my debt which is my car, I would still be between two and $3,000 short.

I welcome any suggestions regarding part time work because if I can make at least $500 a month that would be massive because the more I make in the part-time, the better obviously. I could be out of debt by Thanksgiving or ideally sooner.

@willhustle nah don't give up. Circle Back to any context that you have made and also think of new places u can apply that your disability doesn't limit u to.

For the entrepreneur classes I would ask myself do u need those to start what u want. Whatever your business is, u can follow a blueprint of someone that already has done it. What I'm saying is the classes won't give u an idea for a biz. U may just end need to use your hustle skills and get that MVP - minimal value product, out there

Right now I'm working as a Help Desk Temp. I'm fortunate to have a job around my field in my area. It took me 2 years exactly to land an IT job again. I focused my energy on working in Philly, landing a web developer job at a hospital. But after 7 months, I was back on the street because they didn't renew my contract.

I've been through so many things the last 5 years trying to land a job...and that's just for looking in my web/software development field.

The first thing I've done is to at least focus on a particular career path and what it took to get in that field. And then start talking and networking with people who are in these positions to see how they got in.

My issue to this day is being stuck in an area that doesn't have a high competitive market for my skills. Which is why I'm focusing on major areas like Philly, NY, Delaware, and DC to land positions.

I'd say focus on an skill that you believe you could bring the most value or something that you're good at, then find a career path around that area and stick to it. If that doesn't work, try another skill.
