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?

My question is for individual artists and self-employed professionals: How are you making money right now? Also, what skills are benefiting you the most nowadays?
I am asking because many of my friends, including myself, feel a bit lost. We are facing endless rejections and ghosting when applying for jobs not because we lack skills and education, but simply because companies don’t need us. While rejection is a natural part of any career journey, financial stability is still very important to meet our daily needs. I know it might come across as arrogant to say we are skilled, but that is not my intention. I am just trying to highlight that many talented people are still facing rejection. So It would be really helpfull if you share your insights on what is working for you, and what is not? Thank You.🙏

Is this job a scam?
Hey I’ve recently connected with the CEO and founder of a startup in web design and web development and brand awareness. I asked him if he was hiring sales people and he did. He was hiring for sales people and having them paid on a commission based salary. I asked him if he could take me on an internship unpaid and he said ok. He asked me to send him his resume. So I went and created one but he replied me that it was okay if I didn’t have one. I’ll just had to send him a email talking about myself. He said that the introduction was pretty good and he hired me for the internship on the spot. I don’t know if this is a scam or not. I’ve checked on internet and nothing with scam appears. They have a instagram and a website. They look very professional on the website but the LinkedIn page said that they only had 3/4 employees. The thing that scared me the most is that I didnt have to do any interview. Should I trust this guy? He send me via email a template on how to do outreach. I don’t know could he steal my information(he has my email my name and surname and the profile picture from LinkedIn)
