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.

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:
