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 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
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.
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.
I do call center work from home and can wear whatever I want
awee- But I wanna work at a job that isnt just me in my house all day. I already bed rot enough as is 😭
I worked in an actual call center in my 20s and, aside from the interview where it’s advisable to dress somewhat nicely, we were mostly free to wear whatever we wanted as long as it kept all the appropriate bits covered enough.
Dude- this is my second post here on Lemmy. I asked for people to be nice and I suppose you didn’t bother to read that. I’m not a fucking “anime character” I’m autistic as shit. I find comfort- as a black girl- in being able to express my love for Kawaii fashion. I want a job that will allow me to express these values as they mean a lot to me AGAIN- as a black person. If thats a problem with you then please just move on to a different post. At the very least just ask me some questions first before going off and judging me like that.
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.
If you make more than you need, you must have an impressive work history, yeah?
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.
I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you but every job becomes a job, if you know what I mean. I’m my own boss, work from home, doing programming which is my passion. I still love programming, but work is work. Not saying you shouldn’t try to find enjoyment in it, just don’t want you to expect it to be fun as shit no matter what the job description says. Just try to find one that doesn’t make you miserable and focus on that work life balance.
