What Is Randomjobs?

Randomjobs is a one-page database of random United States jobs that I found online. My aim is to post 3 real jobs a day, at least on weekdays. Crucially, I am making an effort to ensure that these jobs are likely to be real jobs and not ghost jobs. There are plenty of businesses legitimately hiring in America, but there are also plenty of legitimate businesses posting fake job listings on job hunt sites to test the employment economy waters and to give off the impression of growth. That's not even to mention the vastly increased number of scams, AI-generated job listings, AI-generated scams, and efforts to collect data on job hunters.

While I can't guarantee these jobs are not ghost jobs, and I definitely can't guarantee that you'll enjoy working for the company, I can tell you what I know and hopefully give you a chance to find a real job. If you want to have me find jobs in a specific city, you should DM me or tip me on ko-fi and I'll see what I can do. Be as specific as you like! I can't guarantee I'll find you the jobs you want, but you don't have to be the only one looking.

If you apply for a job mentioned on this site and are ghosted, let me know. Even if the job is fake, I try to make sure the listing seems plausible and the employer seems existent. As a result, any fake listings are probably put there intentionally by a real company for potentially shifty, technically legal reasons. Message me on ko-fi or on social media and provide feedback to me. In the future, I want to investigate some of the non-government job listings I've posted up here to see what the outcomes of those applications were.

Potentially Fancypants Jobs for the Socially Ascendant

Took a short break to work on some more lucrative stuff, and to observe trans day of visibility by staring in a mirror all day. Many thanks to Me, Myself, and I for taking responsibility for standing guard and ensuring I don't turn invisible so I can remain in the realm of objects that reflect light for another year!

Today I bring you a handful of jobs that I would consider to be either pretty respectable positions or that are offered by companies respected in their communities. Would you like to be a sous chef at a restaurant founded by a senator? Would you like to design the back yards of people who can afford that sort of thing? These jobs seem like a good way to meet people with nice houses who could, like, give you a REALLY good tip, but maybe only on Christmas. You may have better ideas for what you might get out of these roles than whatever I could come up with, in which case I leave it to you to imagine for me.

The final listing, while potentially likely to bring you most proximal to the wealthy, is one that seems shady, fishy, sheisty, cutty, and other such adjectives. I post this listing from a place of fascination and dread. Apply at your own risk.

Landscape Designer/CAD Technician

Land Expressions, LLC in Spokane, WA

Listing Discovery Information
attributedetails
datefound April 2, 2025
locationSpokane, WA
verificationPrintable application found.

The company Land Expressions, LLC may be hiring for Landscape Designer/CAD Technician to provide landscaping solutions all over the United States. They say they're in Spokane, but they're registered in Mead, WA. Here's the job application for Land Expressions!

You must know LandFX, AutoCAD, and you ought to have a degree in horticulture or landscape architecture.

This employer is apparently "drug free", so it sounds like you'll have to take a drug test even though this is a more white collar job. I'm sure this is no problem for applicants, but I always find it a bit demeaning when a professional position is like "To Enter Our Hallowed Halls, You Must First Piss In This Cup".

Restaurant Employees Wanted

They hiring everybody at Basnight’s Lone Cedar Outer Banks Seafood Restaurant in Nags Head, North Carolina.

verificationPrintable application found.

The company Basnight’s Lone Cedar Outer Banks Seafood Restaurant may be hiring for "All Positions Full or Part Time", including line cook, sous chef, cater chef, cater staff, wait staff, bussers, food runners, and dishwashers. Here's the job applications for Lone Cedar Cafe!

Lone Cedar Cafe's about page displays all kinds of awards and recognitions, seemingly with a focus on wedding clients. When I saw their company's full name is not just ANY Lone Cedar Cafe, but specifically BASNIGHT's Lone Cedar Cafe, I dutifully searched, "who tf is basnight?" to find out who the family behind this family-owned restaurant might be. Late North Carolinian Democratic Senator and small business owner Marc Basnight is the person who pops up upon making such a search. Perhaps I should have been more respectful in my phrasing. Please excuse my rude language from beyond the grave, Mr. Basnight. In 2020, Outer Banks This Week remembered Basnight for all of the work he did for the fishing industry with the power he had. This guy liked fish! So if you work for his family's restaurant, you'd probably better like fish too.

Human Resources Generalist (maybe) and Other Positions (definitely) at a Luxury Resort

PAWS UP MONTANA in Greenough, Montana

datefound April 2, 2025
locationGreenough, MO
verificationJob announcement found.

This one is interesting. The company Paws Up Montana may be hiring for a Human Resources Generalist who functions as a point of contact for all employees at the HR Office. This one is interesting because it was announced today, but it isn't listed on their career center. As I write this, the link to the job application listed on the announcement doesn't function either, so I'm not sure how they're supposed to get an HR Generalist at all. Maybe, if you can solve this problem for them, they ought to hire you as their Human Resources Generalist!

More seriously, today and yesterday they listed roles for Guest Services Driver (Seasonal Manual Labor), Housekeeper (Seasonal Manual Labor), Activities Runner (Seasonal Manual Labor), and Assistant Maintenance Manager (Year Round Full Time Management). The manual labor jobs require poise, elegance, and impeccable grooming, in order to get the amazing benefits of 5 counseling sessions, up to $20 a day of carpool reimbursement, $250 for referrals, and 30% off at the store. The manager job gets real benefits (medical, dental, vision, matched 401k, PTO, life insurance, short-term disability, etc.) in return for management and experience with Microsoft Office. You decide your destiny.

According to their careers page, their clients are affluent and influential people, who they house on a 37k acre ranch. You (and/or your team) will sheperd them from place to place to have some high-class outdoors fun at rich people summer camp.

Thoughts on today's job listings

Wealth Proximity Wednesday

I don't want to hate on rich people, since I'd be glad to recieve their money, and I'm sure you would too. However, I think it's telling that the most shady looking listings I've found while looking at daily job listings were on my special Fancypants Edition. I wish I'd published this on Friday. Fancypants Friday, remind me to post some Fancypants Fridays. I've had some ok jobs and nice times working for people whose lifestyles made me dizzy, nauseous, and kind of appalled. As the fish man senator demonstrates, it's not completely evil to have affluence and influence. Sometimes affluence and influence lead you to fish at a glamping resort at the expense of the wellbeing of said resort's employees. Sometimes affluence and influence allow you to pass protections to revive a community's fishing industry.

Maybe what I'm learning is that affluence and influence allow you to have greater proximity to fish. Wealth certainly allows you to get away with greater fishiness!

I'm not writing for my blog today, but I've been watching a youtube channel for the past few days that I think is absolutely fantastic. He used to post about psychology, seemingly, but lately he's focused more on the job market. If you've been haunted by ghost jobs, you should check this channel out.

Thoughts on today's job listings

Time for me to state the obvious.

Lately, when I look at job listings, I see a different picture of the world painted for me than the picture painted by the news. On social media, it's easy to get the impression that we're entering into a period of lawlessness and utter destitution for all. No governments to take care of their citizens, no jobs for the citizens to take care of themselves. However, in reality, it continues to be true that the roads must be kept clear, the pools must be lifeguarded, and the golf players must be attended to. As long as there are people to serve, services will be needed. And as long as those services are needed, and work is needed for survival, there will be workers there to provide them.

Whenever I'm looking for a public-facing job or doing some public-facing work and I start to dread interacting with the public (perhaps imagining humbly serving some karen hand and foot only to recieve an unfounded complaint), I remember that service is also a point of contact between people who would otherwise never interact. Yes, I am just Worker Drone 003 at XYZ Organization to a certain kind of customer, but if I wasn't willing to be that worker in that moment, I probably wouldn't exist to that person! My existence in their mind gives their brain the opportunity to see people like me as people (or at least as useful), which matters a lot to me as a person who has a few overlapping minority identities.

Much as it's a shame that some don't get to feel appreciated and seen working in their own communities, especially at a time that feels so unstable, there is a non-monetary reward that comes with braving that fear. When you find yourself dealing with people who you think would probably rather your "kind" not exist at all, remember that your role gives you the opportunity to demonstrate care and build ties with those people as members of the same community. While I was raised to believe that I should value my work and labor at a higher standard than that of the "common worker" (god forbid a "real person" with a GPA flip a burger), I was also raised to believe that I can use my work and my every action as a testimony to the kind of good that "people like me" can do in the world. It's clear that I have to take and leave some things from my upbringing!

I like to think that the work of the common worker will be increasingly essential connective tissue for a functioning society built on the trust that things will continue to keep working. That's why I made a blog to reflect on employment and the meaning of work:
