What can I do/what would you do in my position?
What can I do to enter a role accounting with BBA in Management degree, graduated in 23 but never really enter corporate except accounting internship in 2022 because of having to help my parents. I have a whole different of kind of experience which doesn't even related to what I want to do. I keep paying my bills, I worked as a babysitter, server/bartender/sushi chef (helping my parents)and now a Sub teacher in Chicago Public School. I'm interesting in starting off with any accounting/finance entry level and work my way up or in HR roles. For example, accounting clerk, payroll, HR assistant, Accounting staff etc. However, a lot of these companies requirement are at least 3-5 years plus in when it comes to experience. So, How can I improve my chance of getting interview without finance or accounting degree? Should I take online certificates ? Thanks for you suggestions in advance.

What to do now that I got fired?
At September I should’ve started working on a LLC as a collaborator for a EU company remotely. It was all great, until today when they said that I got weird and I was not decided enough to work with them. They basically fired me even before starting to work. Now they wanted me to pay upfront the costs of opening the LLC(partita iva is called in Italy) and the flight/hotel for the onboarding. They didn’t say that in the beginning and I don’t have that liquidity upfront(and I honestly don’t trust them to refund me, even tho they said that they would) I stayed almost a month without sending resumes and even cancelling interviews because I was set on already having a job and income. Now my dream is to move to the US to be a actor and with a remote job I could’ve done that perfectly, but unfortunately those guys now fired me. I honestly don’t know what the hell I should even do with my life. They made me waste a month of job search because they changed their mind about me. The CEO said that it was better for the both of us to part ways and after asking he said that he will send me some contacts from other places in order to get me started again. I am in pieces right now and I feel like my dream is about to get crushed after being so close to getting it.
How should I proceed in my career now after 20 plus years in medical transcription industry?
I have worked in medical transcription for over 20 years. I am now jobless as the company I worked for lost its clients. I tried switching to other domains, such as business analyst or human resources, but perhaps because of my age or lack of experience, I am unable to land a job. I want to do something on my own, but where do I start?

How do staffing/recruiting agencies work?
Hello guys. I am a 18 years old European and once I finish high school (in less than a month) I want to get a remote job(possibly with a US company) with a good salary so that I’d be able to move to California and study. I want to be a BDR/SDR for a Tech company, I am doing two internships right now with US customers to put it on my resume. But those are startups and won’t hire me for a salary based position so I am not interested. I really need to get a job with it since I really wanna move abroad. I also have two Blogs that have traffic that talks about CRM and the other one liquors. Also I am doing another internship as a content manager for another startup. For me it be fine to work as a BDR or as a digital marketer. For me honestly it’s the same and since they’d be remote I’d be down to do both of them and have two jobs if that was what it took. Do you think staffing agencies/recruiting agencies could work? Do agenzie that take your profile and go out searching for you to get jobs and take a cut from the employer exsist? If so, do they work? I really need to find a job like this and the faster the better.

What to do if your employer will give you a bad reference?
Hello, I have been doing a BDR internship for a Indian startup for a month and I didn’t book anything, now I am trying a new approach. The founder tho, sees me as dishonest and unreliable because we had some misunderstanding. I fear he will be a bad reference for when I’ll finish high school and I’ll try to get a SDR/BDR job for a US company(I am from Italy). I fear he might say that I am not a good employee and he will jeopardise my chances of getting a job. Now he hasn’t fired me from the internship yet, but he wants me to book something for the end of the week. I fear he might just be firing me out of the internship. He is very micromanaging and pretty pretentious (even if it’s a unpaid internship). Should I put this on my resume? It’s the only sales experience I have so I don’t know what to do. Please I really need to get a BDR job after high school. Plus if in a few months from now I won’t sell anything, should I put it on my resume anyways? I am finishing school so I don’t have time for actually stick to it. Plus I am doing another internship and managing 2 websites. Can I still make it a valuable experience on my resume even if I dint sell anything?

Hi, I’m a first-generation college student from a small town, studying computer science at a community college. Growing up, I saw how limited access to technology impacted my community, especially for small businesses and students. I’m passionate about using tech to create solutions that uplift underserved areas, but I’m unsure how to get started while juggling school and part-time work. I want to make a meaningful impact but also need guidance on managing stress and building a career path that aligns with my values? #spring25

What entry level roles should I look for with an associates in business?
Hello everyone!! I am currently a junior majoring in Business admin with a Concentration in HR. I am supposed to graduate next year, but I am severely burnt out and my mental health is declining. I also had other factors in my life happen recently which made things worse. I am receiving therapy and getting help right now. My plan is to find full time employment, take a semester or two off of school and then resume part time college while working full time. That being said, I have an associates in business with a very strong customer service background. What type of entry level roles should I target with that degree? I am also interested in healthcare/social work and other areas of business as well. I would love to gain experience before I go back to school. Let me know any good ideas!! Thank you!
Feeling lost and stuck. How do you decide what career path to take when you have no experience?
Hello, I’m 23 years old. I am about to graduate next year with Bachelor’s in Business Admin with an HR concentration. I am a fully remote student and feel this has hindered me in a lot of ways such as networking etc. I picked my major mostly because I wanted to help others and I had aspirations of being a social worker or counselor but they require a masters/license. Being that I was pushed back from graduating 2 years due to surgery and other things, I felt pressured to just pick something and graduate. I am doubting my major. It’s not that I don’t have interest in HR but feel completely disconnected due to lack of experience. I also am more introverted/shy and the thought of new hire orientation/recruiting sounds dreadful to me. Everything just feels off to me. The only other things I can switch my major to would be accounting or marketing and not push me back further. I’ve learned you can get into HR without a major and most people just sort of land into HR. Which I didn’t know prior to picking my major. As well as that, there are absolutely no entry level jobs for HR. It’s super upsetting. I have been attempting to get an Internship with no such luck. They are few and far in between. I’ve made it to final rounds but have been rejected. What I really want to do is be a counselor, social worker or nurse/mri tech etc. I would love to work in something medical/helping others. Nursing would set me back 3 years since it’s a totally different path. Rad tech etc are two year programs with pre reqs. I just don’t want to waste my college credits and hard work but I feel very confused at this point. For instance I have about 116 credits, as I changed my major once before and took courses I didn’t need. I will graduate with 146 credit hours. I will graduate at 24, before I turn 25 and I feel old and have absolutely no experience besides retail/fast food jobs. I was supposed to graduate in 2024, so it is upsetting seeing peers graduate. I want to graduate and gain experience and maybe potentially go back to school one day once I actually experience the world. I need a break from school and can’t imagine pushing myself back or enrolling in another program once I graduate. I’m just scared and unsure of my future. I don’t know how to stand out or what my next move should be. I don’t know if I should continue with this Business Admin degree with a concentration in HR, but I fear it is what I mostly align with other than Nursing and such. I don’t even feel confident in saying this is my major because I lost all passion/motivation due to rejects of internships. Being an online student, I also know no one else who went to college. All of my friends are mostly in trades. Do you have advice? I’m feeling lost and struggling a lot.

Should I pursue a career in HR despite being shy and having weak "people" skills?
I'm considering getting my bachelor's degree in human resources. HR appeals to me because I feel that it would be a more "social" job than accounting, and that my career would have a more fulfilling purpose. However, I tend to be somewhat shy and can be overwhelmed by too much social interaction. Also, I feel that my empathy and communication skills are strong enough to be a good HR manager. Are these signs that I should not pursue a career in HR?
I have an upcoming interview for an HR internship. How should I best prepare and what should I make sure to mention/not mention?

How do you work as a team?
As a student I often find myself struggling when working in groups because I enjoy having control over my work. What approach should I take to working with team mates? More fittingly I suppose I have different ideas about a specific task from my team mates.
