Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

Just by the numbers I would assume quite a few Lemmings work in utilities companies and healthcare.

For me it's healthcare. I am an EEG tech and sleep tech.

I'm a case manager for a local org that supports people with intellectual disability. I like my job, I set my own hours, and even if there was no profit motive it would still need to be done. My only complaint is where I brush up against the capitalistic intersection, so the county is our funder and they really pinch every penny compared to, say the sheriffs' office.

I work for a very large organization that deals in supporting nonprofit organizations (mainly) in part of a training team. My specific role is administrative support and curriculum development, as well as coordinating overall operations and logistics for one specific team.

Production of commercial robots. Though, I just lost my job and the job I was going to pulled out last minute, so next week, I won’t be working on anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Best of luck, friend. Hope everything works out for you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Thanks, I’m interviewing at a couple places soon, fingers crossed. Considering posting up my soldering skills on Facebook buy/sell/trade groups if I don’t find anything soon to hold me over. There’s always people who need their HDMI ports or such repaired and no one around here offers it, I just haven’t had the time since I’ve been working so much. That would require making a new Facebook though, since I deleted mine years ago.

I'm on a 3-person marketing team for a local company. It's almost all content creation (designing internal docs, benefits and employee handbooks, on-location signs, promotional items, videos, engaging social media content) and the higher-ups are willing to let us try silly garbage if it's clever & engaging.

We also spend a lot of time crafting accessible communication (how-tos, breakdowns of charities we support and how, what events we have coming up) to make it easier for our employees as well as retail and industry customers & partners to figure us out and get the most out of what we have to offer.

I always thought marketing meant trying to sell people stuff they don't need, but it's mostly just us trying to make sure the people who are interested can hear us through the din on the chance we can help.

I work in marketing as well. Super small team, super niche product. It's so much more than just sales which is what everyone thinks marketing is. I would never do sales but trying to stand out is something that is always a challenge, almost a game.
