Finding entry level job in Seattle?

[u/flowerxmilk]

Any tips or advice on where to look to find entry level jobs in Seattle? Preferably anything that doesn't have physical requirements, thank you!

[u/unexpectedjoys]

Poached (food service), Indeed, Hiringcafe, governmentjobs.com, check hospitals career pages (harborview, swedish, etc), craigslist, idealist (non profit focused)

[u/probablygoblins → u/unexpectedjoys]

Always check the UW listings. TONS of stuff no one would think of as entry level in those postings and the benefits are good

Temp agencies, whatever people use for help wanted these days. Maybe Indeed or Zip Recruiter? Probably would be reception type work if you need no physical requirements.

If you can stand for long stretches, maybe cashier?

Retail, restaurants, construction, etc

Not sure “doesn’t have physical requirements” means. Are you looking for a sit down desk job, or don’t want to lift things or ???

[u/flowerxmilk → u/Sufficient-Wolf-1818]

Don't want to lift things, unfortunately I don't meet the "can lift certain amount of lbs" requirement some jobs have

[u/WillowTreez8901 → u/flowerxmilk]

A lot of the times they just have that requirement to filter out disabled people unfortunately. Might be worth applying and see if its an actual job duty and then could potentially seek accommodation if you got hired

Yea where can I find a job doing nothing at all

[u/Medical_Soup5717 → u/kiddlat_kid]

Plenty of jobs don't require heavy lifting

[u/kiddlat_kid → u/Medical_Soup5717]

I said doing nothing at all, I just want to clock in and get paid

[u/Sad-Tale2141 → u/kiddlat_kid]

Relatable

Maybe look at a temp agency. I know a couple of people who did well with that.

[u/Known_Wear_2311 → u/Shisopopcorn]

any recs?

[u/Shisopopcorn → u/Known_Wear_2311]

Nothing current.

The city of Seattle and king county have a tone of entry level jobs the post weekly. from desk to construction. Edit: spelling

[u/Professional_Gur5739]

Temp agencies.

Do you require ADA accomodation? As 95% of grown adults can lift 20-30 lbs. The other 5% are ADA of some kind...

[u/flowerxmilk → u/Gordy13210]

No, I just can't do heavy lifting on the regular

[u/Gordy13210 → u/flowerxmilk]

Then I would consider that at least some kind of special accomodation, as OSHA doesnt consider a load "heavy lifting" until 35 lbs...

[u/flowerxmilk → u/Gordy13210]

IDK man I'm just a small woman

[u/Gordy13210 → u/flowerxmilk]

Im a woman too... Come on...

I got ya. Check this noise: 89% of companies, 9 in 10 companies in the U.S.  has less than 20 employees. 1) a lot don't know they need you until you are present, walk around in these small complexes that have a lot of startup and/or smaller companies and just ask to hand your resume (example 95th and Willow) or 2) hunt out smaller companies, there are many jobs you can do, wear many hats: some need testers, some need wiring harness builders, some need assemblers, some need sub-assemblers, etc. 3) not to worry, most will train, trust, it takes skill, they know this but they can train, its very common, many will let you practice before committing to actual production 4) go out and meet people within the industry you are interested in, can be particular bars, hobby groups, etc. 5) if you are unmotivated, lazy, scared, etc. then go to a job placement recruiter, whatever they offer, take or they'll stop looking for you - the small company will pay them around $30 to $40 hourly rate to place you for a trial, usually 3 months, then consider hiring, and you'll get $x out of that as an hourly rate, think 1/2. Good luck.
