What have you done before? Do you have a drivers license? CDL? Any shop experience? Inside sales?

Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!
This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!
Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.
At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!
2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.
Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:
- Don't attack other users.
It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).
It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

I've done retail, driving (non-cdl, as I don't have a CDL), direct support specialist (mental health field). My main area of expertise is in sw dev, but I don't have the luxury of waiting for a team's hiring process.
My brother-in-law, who lives in Portland, said the other day that Intel is hiring factory workers like crazy.
I've considered this. I was close to singing papers for the 1.5 hour-long commute for a night shift at an Intel plant (which I was not excited about). That in addition to the fact that every facet of the job worked against my natural abilities (detail-oriented, fine motor skills, repetitive work, loud, noisy environments) was the final nail in the coffin. Opted for a pizza delivery job that I found at the same time.
Car dealerships are always hiring, and you don't have to be in sales. Check the parts or service departments.
Maybe, but isn't it commission based? Like doesn't that mean that if I don't make a sale I don't get paid?
Parts and service work differently. There are hourly gigs.
Ah, good thought. I can imagine my ADHD wreaking havoc on me at the job, but I suppose a paycheck's a paycheck.
ADHD might actually be a benefit in the parts department. :)
Parts can make a very nine income. I have a family member in parts making six figures. I had no idea that job could pay that much.
