Published on 09/05/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

The user (20M) is struggling with severe depression and anxiety and needs to find a job that accommodates these challenges. The 'better' job opportunity lies in finding roles with good work-life balance, flexibility (e.g., remote), lower pressure, and less direct conflict, rather than focusing solely on career progression or salary.

Possible Job Opportunities: Roles that emphasize independent work, clear tasks, and predictable environments could be beneficial. Examples include data entry specialist, administrative assistant (if low-stress environment), content moderation (with supportive management), library assistant, or certain analytical roles that minimize high-stakes social interaction.

Resume Direction: Highlight reliability, attention to detail, ability to work independently, strong organizational skills, and any past academic or work achievements that demonstrate consistency and problem-solving without heavy interpersonal demands. Focus on demonstrating a steady work ethic from college and previous experiences.

Expected Benefits: Improved mental well-being, a sustainable career path, and a sense of stability and accomplishment that supports overall health.
