GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do people manage to actually get jobs through online applications (US citizen here)?English1·19 days agoSorry, can’t help you there, you need a bank account for ebay. I would check your credit report and make sure it’s not fucked up. Employers check that too, could be why you keep getting passed up. There’s always fb marketplace and craigslist.
GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do people manage to actually get jobs through online applications (US citizen here)?English11·19 days agoYou can always use it as goodwill for your business.

You can also tell people you’ll recycle it for them and actually just fix it yourself if they’re not going fix it anyway.
I sell a lot of vintage electronics like vcr’s, tape decks even a laser disc player for $300 one time. I have a whole package of random belts for the tape decks, which are easy to replace. I also do a lot of car parts as well as other random items. If you have a source for those hotel lock parts that are getting thrown away anyway then look uo how much they sell for.

GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do people manage to actually get jobs through online applications (US citizen here)?English4·19 days agoJust start fixing devices yourself. Make a professional looking ad and do it at home. Advertise on your local facebook groups. Just be upfront about not having a shop yet. Buy broken devices and fix/resell them. Offer electronics recycling and get stuff for free that you can resell/scrap for money. If you need help with ebay I can write up a guide. I’ve been selling for 20 years.

I don’t really understand how that one was a problem if they’re also a physicist, or even if they’re a biologist. Nothing wrong with some fun rivalry.
