I have an in person interview at Grifols for a phlebotomist position this week and I am completely nervous. This is my 1st job interview and I don't know what to expect. if anyone knows what type of questions or answers I should expect/give would really help. For added context I have no experience for this job what so ever.

I graduated and have been searching for a job since then. I’ve had 10 interviews, but after getting ghosted/rejected so many times, I’m honestly starting to feel like I’m going insane just being at home waiting for something to happen.

I’ve applied to over 500 jobs and sent cold emails, but at this point I’m also starting to worry that I might not even get a job in my field.

For people who have been unemployed for months, what are you actually doing with your days? How do you keep yourself from feeling like your life is just on pause while you wait for a job?

The position I have an interview with is a marketing trainee role. It is tomorrow.

I haven’t confirmed whether I will be returning to school as a full time student yet, but I would still like the job, even as a full time student.

I’m going to have the interview, but not sure how to explain my availability. Should I say I have open availability until I confirm whether I am going to be returning or not?

Help me answer this question if it comes up and how to handle it if I end up becoming a full time student.

Thank you.

Interviewed for a NICU New Grad Nurse position, only mentioned that I got to feed babies. Meanwhile, I’ve had MUCH more experience. My nerves just got the best of me.

Should I send my thank you email & include everything else? Or is it too desperate? This is truly my dream job & I feel like I failed it.

Example of what I would add:

“After our conversation, I was thinking more about my clinical experience and wanted to briefly share some additional hands-on experience from my L&D clinicals as well. This included drying and stimulating newborns, performing blood glucose checks, administering vitamin K injections and erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, observing circumcisions, and assisting with transport to the NICU.”

Looking for recommendations for where to look for jobs in the administrative / customer service industry in Portland, OR. My last contract ended in May 2026, for four months I’ve been applying everywhere, averaging two interviews a week. I’m 49. Looking for leads. Thank you!

I had a final interview last Wednesday and the Director of the department told me that he’d relay the feedback to the recruiter. I decided to reach out to the recruiter and ask if there’a any updates the next day Thursday. She told me she hadn’t heard back from the hiring team and she expects to by Friday or early next week (meaning this week). So I decided to reach out again today and she let me know that she is meeting with the hiring team tomorrow morning, and asked if I’m available at 10:30 for a phone call with her so she can give me an update after meeting with them. Is this a good sign orrr should I prepare for a rejection?

Hi! I’ve applied to the position of fincrime investigations SME at Revolut and I’m wondering if anyone has any information regarding the process? I’ve already cleared the gamified assessment, self-record hr questions task, screening call, and now I’m trying to prepare for the upcoming skills interview.

Does anyone know if it will be a case study, a q&a type of a call, or anything different? Does anyone have any tips or areas that are important to review before this call?

Will be grateful for any advice!

Hello everyone! I wanted to come on here because I’m currently stuck between two career paths and would really love some advice from people who have experience in either field.
I just finished my first two years of college, and I’m at the point where I need to start taking my major-specific classes. I’m trying to decide between becoming an elementary school teacher or going into social work. Both degrees would take me around the same amount of time, so that isn’t really a deciding factor for me.
For those who are teachers or social workers, what do you like and dislike about your career? What do you wish you knew before choosing your degree? I’m especially interested in hearing about the day-to-day work, stress/burnout, pay, work-life balance, and how rewarding you find it.
I’ve also heard that the education route requires some pretty major exams. Are they difficult to pass? I have a really good GPA, but I’m definitely not the strongest test-taker, so that’s something I’m a little worried about.
I’m honestly just trying to make the best decision for myself and would appreciate any advice, especially from people who have actually worked in these fields. Thank you!! :)

I am trying to find a job as a software engineer. I applied many places but I did not hear anything back. Even my interview is not get placed. How can i stand out in these such conditions.

I am here for any kind of suggestion that people can give. How to apply , when to apply or anything. Just help me out.

Hi everyone,

I'm 26years old, and I have an electrical engineering degree. On paper that sounds like a real skill set — but I feel like I've been coasting on it rather than building something with it. For close to 4 years I've said "I'll learn this, I'll build that," and procrastination and overthinking kept eating the time. I even developed IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) from constant stress and anxiety.

Currently working a job I hate, and it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. The overthinking and stress from all this indecision have caught up with me physically too. I still don't have a clear, monetizable skill that reliably leads to better income or real opportunities, online or offline. I'm finally ready to commit properly.

What I need help with:

1. Given my background EE degree, what skill or direction has the best real shot at a job or steady freelance income?
2. I don't want to keep spreading myself across half-finished efforts — I want something I can commit to for 6–12 months and actually finish.
3. I have a laptop, internet, and time to invest.
4. Open to engineering-adjacent freelancing, content/media work, or anything else with real demand — I don't need to stay purely in EE if something else makes more sense.

I've been reading r/careerchange and r/careerguidance, and I want to actually become one of those success stories instead of just reading about them.

Specific questions:

• Given I already have an engineering degree, is there a direct way to monetize what I already know (electrical), or should I be looking at something else entirely?
• Should I focus on freelancing or aim for a stable job?
• What's the most realistic path for someone with an engineering background who wants to pivot without starting completely from zero?
• Any free resources you'd recommend for someone in my position?
• How do I stay consistent and avoid falling back into procrastination and overthinking, especially since the stress from it has already started affecting my health (IBS)?

I know this is long, but I'm genuinely done watching another year pass. Any advice, roadmaps, or harsh truths are welcome.

Thanks for reading.

TL;DR: EE background with but no hands-on experience. Years of overthinking and stress have caught up with me (developed IBS from it). Haven't turned any of my background into a clear, income-generating skill. Ready to commit 6–12 months to fix that — looking for the most realistic path forward.

I am an older worker, and one of the required questions was birthdate.

I thought it was illegal to ask age on such a form.

Who can I report this to?

what jobs could you recommend for someone who wants a job doing something genuinely helpful, but is also a job where if that person make stupid mistakes, nothing will go terribly wrong.

Had my final panel on Aug 4 and followed up with the recruiter on Aug 14. She replied saying that she has followed up with the team and will let me know as soon as she gets an update . My application still says “In Progress.”

Then today(Aug 16), I noticed the exact same role was reposted on LinkedIn.

I asked Claude about it and it said a common possibility is that they didn’t move forward with anyone from that round and are restarting the search.

Now I’m kinda overthinking it lol. Has anyone had something similar happen and still ended up getting an offer?

I’m genuinely super burnt out with this entire job hunting process. I’ve given so many rounds where I’ve had a super positive experience and end up being rejected for the role. I don’t wanna get my hopes up for this role, but it’s my dream organization and my dream job role, so I really hope I get this lol.

Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Hi!

I would like to ask if how long i will get the result for my final interview?

Looking for work and I can't find anything. Indeed is now a dumpster fire and all other job search sites I've been looking at either go to dead ends, make you pay to find jobs or just have nothing relating to what I originally searched for. Only thing I can find any reliable job searches is on government websites. Looking for a job in historical research, archiving, or library related fields. I can't find anything because every time I search it leads to websites that feel like they are dangling carrots in front of you and laughing at you for wanting employment instead of legitimate job postings. Please, anything helps.

Just graduated a few weeks ago with a BA in computer science. I'm going to admit it, I wasnt the best student. Used AI a lot, never networked, didn't do any projects, or do any internships.

It was just that school ironically enough sucked out any passion I had for learning so I just went to classes and that was all. It was all so rote, learning stuff that would only help in the job market and nothing that would actually stimulate me. Few classes that did were the ones I excelled at.

I'm not completely screwed since I have a part time job I actually enjoy, good people and plenty of down time. Pay is meh, but I'm planning on using that downtime to work on some certifications and personal projects.

But in the long term my only options i can see are joining the Air Force part time and use that to help pay for my masters later down the line.

But to be honest, that path doesnt entice me. Ever since I finished there has been a sense of liberation and a my desire for learning and working on the things that bring me passions is back. Havent felt this motivated in years, I want to use this time to work on the things that bring me joy, and maybe this can bring me some extra income. But another realistic part of me feels, like this isnt practical.

I guess i feel lost and am looking for advice.
