If you look up my username on LinkedIn, you can get a good summary of my career. Most of my jobs have been go in, fix things, then on to the next thing; though the immediate COVID period was pretty bumpy in that regard (shorter-term gigs). I’m pretty sure I need another cert or two at this point, but have had some family issues distracting me the past few months from studying/focusing on what’s next. I’m also working three different things right now (1 5-10hr/wk PT job + 2 intermittent gigs). I can’t remember the job market being this bad or picky in my life; and I actively wonder how I’d be able to leave the field entirely. It feels like everyone wants a unicorn on the cheap these days.

Something with a “solid” 10-15/hrs a week would be an improvement over what I have going on right now; let alone full-time work. How do I even find such a thing on LinkedIn/Indeed/whatnot? Reddit’s gotten me at least two jobs in the past, but the state of things there seems to be less promising these days. I figured I’d ask here to see if anyone else is in a similar situation, and how they’re managing.

Thank you.
