DAY 1

Open your job board

Scan your QR code. This is your board. It is private, it needs no login, and it refreshes with new leads every two weeks.

  • Scan your code
  • Bookmark it on your phone
  • It stays yours after Job Club

  • Apply tap: logged automatically
  • About a week later: we check if you heard back
  • Around two weeks: a reminder to call

DAY 1

Commute reality: test the shift, not the address

Record the route, transfers, door to door minutes, and whether the trip home works.

  • THERE: can I arrive before the shift?
  • SHIFT: when does it really start and end?
  • HOME: can I get home safely after?

    IT TRACK

    IT: remote jobs count

    IT leads can be remote. A remote job has no trip to test, so check what replaces the trip.

    • HOME INTERNET: steady enough to work all shift?
    • QUIET SPACE: somewhere to take calls?
    • EQUIPMENT: does the employer ship a laptop?
