Do you have advice or suggestions on jobs I could apply for that are relatively low stress for an introvert and potentially helpful for my career (in alternative medicine)?
Hi, I am currently looking for work that I can do while I am in school full-time. I've only ever worked in customer service related jobs in the past and found them to be quite repetitive and socially draining. I have been searching for remote jobs as well but many listings appear to be from unreliable sources and there are limited options I qualify for. I'm also open to short term full-time work until mid-June :) Many thanks, Ash

How do I find entry-level remote opportunities that align with my certifications as a Business Administration student?
Hi everyone, I'm currently in my first term of a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at the University of the People (an online US university), and I've just started my academic journey (week 2). Alongside my studies, I've been building practical skills through professional certificates on Coursera, including Google Project Management and Meta Social Media Marketing Associate. I'm also currently working on Google Digital Marketing & E-Commerce, Google Data Analytics, and Meta Marketing Analytics. In addition, I have some hands-on experience managing a small home-based business for handmade sweets. I handled the financial side by tracking costs and profits, organizing data using Google Sheets, and helping plan operations. I would describe myself as detail-oriented and precise in my work. I enjoy organizing information, creating schedules, and planning projects efficiently. I'm also creative and comfortable using tools like Canva for various design tasks, as well as PowerPoint for presentations, and I have basic video editing skills using CapCut or other editing apps. I'm very motivated to gain real-world experience early, especially through a remote job or internship that I can manage alongside my studies. Given my beginner status but growing skill set, I would really appreciate any advice on: - Entry-level remote job opportunities or internships
-Roles that align with my certifications (project management, marketing, analytics)
-Platforms or strategies to find legitimate remote work
-Skills I should prioritize to increase my chances of getting hired Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Feeling lost - working as PM for 3 years. Career advice please
I've been working full time for 3 years as a product manager and I still feel as lost as ever. It's hard seeing friends getting promoted and leaving the company for better opportunities, but I'm still stuck here. People say you should try as many things as possible in your 20s and I want to do that, but it's almost if I'm not given the opportunity to try different things. I studied psychology and health science in undergrad and have been a product manager the past few years. Sometimes, I think about what if I pursued a career in healthcare... I'm currently not in a role that I think I'm good at and I'm not in a company that I see growth in, I have been thinking about masters/MBA but that in itself requires a lot of soul searching to understand what I want out of it and I fear I don't have the answer for that besides I want to be a well rounded person as someone who didn't study business. In parallel, I've been looking for jobs the past 1.5 year and I haven't had any successes. While I'm grateful I still have a job despite all the layoffs happening, I can't help to want to 'start over' and it has really impacted my self confidence and self esteem in other parts of my life as well. If anyone has ever been in my shoes, I would really love some guidance or share personal stories. I'm currently trying to find a career coach that can help me with this stage of my life.
