  1. 2

    I'm currently a college student in my final year and I'm on the hunt for a job to help cover my expenses. Unfortunately, I don't have a car, which limits my options to jobs within walking distance. I have a few years of experience in front desk and guest services, including roles in hotels, retail, and even a law office reception. I also have some admin experience during tax season and I'm certified in Microsoft Office. One of my main challenges is a previous hip injury from an accident, which means I need to avoid jobs that require standing for long periods. I'm looking for something that allows for a mix of sitting and light movement, like front desk, reception, or customer service roles. My availability is flexible right now, so scheduling won't be an issue. I'm reaching out for advice on how to navigate my job search with these constraints, especially regarding how to address my standing limitation without it being a red flag. Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm currently a college student in my final year and I'm on the lookout for a job that accommodates my need to avoid long periods of standing due to a previous hip injury. My experience includes a few years in front desk and guest services roles across hotels, retail, and even a law office reception position, along with some administrative work during tax season. I'm comfortable with tasks like check-ins, phone handling, scheduling, and customer interactions, and I'm certified in Microsoft Office. Since I don’t have a car, I'm limited to job opportunities on public transit routes, which makes my search a bit more challenging. Ideally, I’m seeking positions that allow for a mix of sitting and light movement—such as front desk, reception, admin roles, or customer service jobs where I can work at a register with a stool. My schedule is quite flexible right now, so I can adapt to various shifts. I would greatly appreciate any advice on where to look for jobs, industries that might be a good fit for someone in my situation, or any general strategies from those who have navigated similar challenges. Thank you!
