Need help thinking about what job I should get?

I think remote jobs were a lot more common during the height of the pandemic, but there are still some out there! I had a friend who also wanted a remote job doing administrative work, but like you also mentioned, those jobs typically want someone in college or with experience in that field. But sometimes, temp agencies are good scouts at helping you secure the type of work you’re looking for. You let them know your availability and what you are interested in doing, i.e., data entry remotely. Tutoring jobs can also be done remotely. Are you good at math or writing essays?? If so, you could quickly secure an online tutoring job. I would also recommend that you take free certifications on credly and course horse to add that to your resume to show that you have the skills for whatever particular job you’re looking for. LinkedIn is also an excellent avenue for finding remote jobs and internships. Even if you don’t have any job experience, you can put the extracurricular activities on your LI profile to show potential employers what you’re interested in and good at! Also, I know volunteering isn’t always preferred when you need money. Still, if you were able to get a data entry volunteer job, that could be the stepping stone that you need to get a work reference, recommendation letter, and experience! Good luck!
