I’m scouting for jobs I’d actually enjoy working at as opposed to just “getting a job cus I should get a job”. I’m 20 btw, not independent yet, but I’d still like to have a job ya know? The only Job I know of that is mega lax with their dress codes are (i think) Hot Topic and Spencer’s. Do you guys have any other places that are similar? I’d like to be able to express my Alt-fashion choices :D
(Please dont be rude or mean in the comments, thank you!)
I work in IT, I make much more money than I should/need and I work from home in a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt while barefoot. I would just apply for everything, eventually you’re gonna hit someone who isn’t hung up on image, and the rest will make your interview skills just that much better.
I work as a software developer and pretty much everywhere it’s an open door on any outfit you want. I’m a man and regularly wear skirts to the office and conferences without anyone batting an eye.
Ofc You can wear what you want as a software developer- At this point its required you wear pink stripped socks and a skirt/j I thought about it- but I suck real bad when it comes to coding things. I have a massive interest in computers, but coding is one of those things I lack in skill ;w;
There’s tons of jobs in IT that don’t require coding so don’t let that discourage you
Really? how so :000 Im- a bit curious about PC building, I wanna learn that Desktop computer jargon I hear some people use
Do you like configuration? Network engineer! Lots and lots of jobs in that field. The dress code thing is gonna limit a lot of entry level jobs though, I’d think. You probably won’t get a help desk job at a traditional office but who knows. Lots of jobs are remote which opens up some possibilities if you have the skills
Learning to build a PC is a great start for literally any computer job. Are there any computer stores (local, not like best buy) near you?
Ouhhh network stuff sounds pretty neat. I also have a bit of interest in cyber security
Network engineer, cybersecurity, and to a lesser extent devops don’t require much, if any, programming skills
In most factories and warehouses they generally don’t give a damn what you wear as long as it covers the important bits and it isn’t a safety issue. I have a friend that literally just works in her sports bra on hot days at her warehouse job and nobody cares. Odds are they will also pay much better than retail too. Of course depending on the environment there may be special considerations like steel toe shoes or such. But steel toes are alt fashion anyways.
gonna need the deets of that job/warehouse rn. a nice, robust sorta jobat a warehouse sounds really nice tbh. I WANNA GET FORKLIFT CERTIFIED TOO. Its a good fitness.
If you get forklift certified the dress code won’t matter because the ladies will be ripping your clothes off.
Now I want booty shorts that just say “forklift certified”.
Edit: Well… I guess these are kinda close.
I work from home and I think it would be cool AF to be forklift certified. Or be one of those excavator prodigies…
Well I’m not in Kentucky but the company was Fastenal and they definitely have warehouses there. They’re a big international industrial supplier. I was only warehouse adjacent when I worked for them but I know the warehouse benefits and pay were pretty middle of the road in my location. They’ve got a whole internal education program which is actually surprisingly good. All in all it wasn’t a bad place to work.
If you want fitness then pick to light in one of their warehouses will definitely get you that. And they definitely do forklift training. Idk if I can link here but if you just google fastenal then they will pop up.
This might just be because California made it law, but Walmart’s only dress code was that you had to wear jeans and their supplied vest. They couldn’t tell you how to have your hair, that you couldn’t have visible tats or piercings, etc.
Head shops probably don’t care much, too. Just make sure you’re actually on drugs if they drug test you.
OH YEAAA- 100% I could kick it at a smoke shop. Sounds fun as shit
Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe, reflective vest, and in some cases, a hard hat. Other than that, you’re good unless the company mandates something different. You can also get good money, experience, and networking in that field. Since you’re such a young person, and if you have a good personal drive, you’d greatly excel at it because it is a relatively physical job
There are lot of federal jobs that are very lenient on dress. Not public facing? Sometimes lot of options! Public facing? Might have to wear a uniform but the ability to have visible tattoos and piercings is pretty high. Also options for getting into the public sector without a college degree.
