Also for anyone who had applied previously and didn't get hired, please note that you can reapply after two months if you're still interested.

I have also sent a PM. Thanks!

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
We will be hiring 1 or 2 ~*entry level*~ QA positions over the next 8 weeks. Either a basic tech background (B.S. or Bootcamp) or science (B.S.) background is about the only requirement, though I can share a job listing individually via pm. Fully remote supporting, work on stuff that actually means something (drug development and non-profits), and a company culture that lets you actually take vacation instead of grinding you into pulp.

QA positions here aren't gated like they are in a lot of places. We work with a ton of different projects, so the goal is to get you comfortable on all the various environments and set-up processes and then move you into basic EIT duties (selenium, cypress, etc). Typically once you've done that for 6-12 months, we start to transition you into a fully engineering role, as you'll be significantly ahead of any entry or even L1.5-esh we could bring on board. One of the trainers for people who come in these positions will move to fully engineering as soon as the candidates are settled. A note that for scientific candidates the elevator is a bit different, as its unlikely you'll have the background to move into the code mines unless you really want to.

PMing me is best. I don't think interviews will be starting for a couple of weeks, but getting a stack of resumes I can put in front of the CTO early is best.

I've had pretty good luck posting here (we've even hired someone from this very thread!), so will continue to do so :sun:

e: Oh, also, if you have graduate level O-chem and some basic algo knowledge, I'd love to talk with you.

I don’t know if it’s something you’d be interested in or if the pay would be high enough, but we’re looking for a main office admin assistant, evening administrator, and a care room attendant (as well as a ton of teachers, don’t need to be certified for the arts positions) at the school where I teach if that appeals to you at all. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Hey all,

I recently made a career change into Copywriting and Branded Content, I also relocated to Berlin to finish a portfolio program. If anyone is looking for freelance copywriting, brand design, branded content, blog/article posts, etc I can be of assistance. I have a LinkedIn and a portfolio website I can share as well.


Cheers!

hello people who frequent this thread, I am thinking about how we occasionally get complaints that cspam has too many stickied threads and how it might be nice to have room at the top of the forum to stick fun new threads temporarily. Do you think being stickied is good for this thread? Should it stay at the top of the list or should it surf the waves of poster interest like the rest of the forum?

Maybe consider condensing the "resource" threads into a stickied index with links and then unsticky Jobs, Organize, and Goonbucks threads?

That's a good idea and we probably will do that. Might even combine a resource index with the rules thread to be as concise as possible. Probably the union organizing and goonbucks threads will remain at the top for maximum visibility, but even unsticking this one, mental health (already unstuck by an IK this morning) and the book scans thread would clear up a lot of the sticky clutter

We're hiring a computational chemist in the pharmaceutical space. We pay pretty well and you don't have to live in the bay area or Boston, so in reality, we pay really well. It's fully remote supporting and we've hired people from THIS VERY THREAD. P.hD + 1-2y (Post-doc is fine depending) or M.S + 5y.

Ping me for info if you're interested. PM is best.

Ironhead. Mmm.


Hey y'all, I don't have a specific job to offer, but I just wanted to mention something that might interest some people. I work in the live entertainment industry. I'm union, but this appears to have happened across the board. We lost alot of people to other jobs during Covid, and I'm constantly seeing people scrambling for workers. If you have any sort of background as a carpenter, electrician, welder, handyman, or can even just read a tape measure, there are a lot of companies out there looking for basic and skilled labor. Even if you can't read a tape measure, we often just need extra hands and box pushers. It is one of the greatest and most unstable jobs I've ever worked. I've been Union in Texas for about 10 years, and my personal position is pretty stable, but we have a lot of guys that just pick up weekend work or gig work.

I can't post alot of specifics for reasons, but my PMs are open if there are any questions I can answer. Many of my guys are former restaurant workers, gig workers, fire fighters, oil field guys, whatever. While I will say starting out can be very hit or miss, the gigs you do get, even non union, tend to pay enough that you can still get by when work is slow.

It can be a great career path, or just a stop gap while you find something else.

There's some tax documents you'd need to fill out for payroll that would be challenging without any kind of documentation. I'd think a business sketchy enough to not care about that probably isn't looking for remote workers.

If you're looking for menial data entry side gig-type work, I would look at companies like Lionbridge that do search engine analysis. They hire in lots of different countries so not being in the US won't matter.

Hi there, I lost my job after a motorcycle accident left me housebound for, well the near future at least. Any tips on work from home jobs in the UK? I've done various data entry and transcription tasks.

Also, in my sparetime I've been self publishing translations of rare books and short stories that weren't in English. Is there a thread in the forums for promoting your wares? I'd hate to turn into one of those "buy my book" guys.

I'm looking for some part time work for a few months so I can pay off some recent medical debts. I currently work full time remotely & ideally would like a WFH side gig during the evenings & weekends. Depending on how labor intensive the part time job is, I could possibly work both jobs at once.

Believe the best shot would be a call center/customer service job. Most of the listings seem sketchy on Indeed though.

I have experience working at call center.

Hey y'all, I'm looking for white-collar work in the NYC area or remotely if anyone's got any leads. No qualms on part-time / full-time / contract, I'm flexible on when the work happens. Background is in QA and call center work but I'm not restricting myself to those fields.

I've got 4+ years in automated and manual software testing, 2 years in dispatch (medical transport and electronic security), 1.5 years in helpdesk for public college A/V infrastructure, a year in data analysis (rusty with SQL, can relearn), and over a decade of informal experience with photoshop and digital audio work. The automated testing was mostly VBScript with a bit of hacked together JS on the side. Familiar with PowerShell, CompTIA A+ certified, certified as an electronic security dispatcher (in AL, can re-cert elsewhere).
