I’ve seen a lot of zero hour contracts lately even for roles that used to be fixed hours. Makes it hard to plan financially. Are people still accepting these or holding out for something more stable?

Some maybe accepting because of how tough the job market is . But it’s not worth doing zero contracts, as you end up not having control over your personal life . They expect you to be available 24/7 and these business owners nowadays , their focus is making more money and. Not caring about staff wellbeing . So they target those who desperate and willing to take anything.

That’s a good way of putting it, I mean I kind of want a social life so

I had never had one of those, let alone a contract when working. I’d take it if I was dire need of funds. But I’d still be searching for something permanent

Yeah definitely still look! Hours aren’t guaranteed I guess

So I just started a new job in sales (B2B specifically). All my life I’ve been in blue collar jobs, military, then construction work ect.

I guess what I’m looking for is just tips on how you guys were successful walking into a whole new arena if that makes sense?
