About The Workaround Collective The Workaround Collective is a newly formed 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Bryan, TX. Our mission is to leverage the power of human connection to support job seekers through the demands and challenges of their job search. We connect them to educational, wellness, and career-support experts, mentors, peers, and educational and financial resources through our in-house digital library and (future-planned) grants-assistance programs. Because we are newly launched, we are intentionally starting small as we ramp up. This role is a great fit if you want a fun, creative, and inspiring place to work — fully remote, with flexible hours and the freedom to build a meaningful side hustle while helping to build a community that cares. The minimum hours required to start is to be available at least 4 hours per month for 1x1 virtual sessions with job seekers. The long term vision is for the Workaround Collective to transition our experts to direct staff as the organization expands and funding grows.
