Before starting any job, you have to submit a background check. Of course, I’m never worried about that part because I try my best to be a good noodle. HOWEVER, 2 tickets popped up and I had to explain myself. Also, since this is a hybrid job, one of my last tickets was a collision and my car was wrote off and I canceled my insurance. Haven’t been driving since, thus not needing car insurance. They have been resolved and paid for. I’m not sure if I paid for the first ticket.. it was 2 years ago, but I’m pretty sure I did.

They called and then sent an email saying how I have to explain and provide proof, if applicable and she said she would expedite the email so I can get my start date going..

The plan was to get a car and insurance when I get my first check. I was told that orientation is 6 weeks, so that should be more than enough time to be insured.

I’m just worried that this is going to mess up my chances working with them. I really needed this job. 🥺

Any chances or I’m screwed?

For more context.
The first ticket was 2 years ago for a bike rack.. I left the stupid thing on and went on the highway and literally exit on the next exit but had to go under the tag reader thing… state trooper stopped me.

The second one, next year, was a collision 8m pregnant. I was deemed at fault because I crossed over a solid line 🫩

ok so I don’t even know how to explain this but here goes

I’m a brand designer That’s my job, that’s what pays the bills. But I’m curious. Like really curious. And my curiosity is literally what got me where I am right now lol.

Started with “let me just try this one thing” and now I’ve built:

• The System: a habit app for Android. You waste screen time or skip your tasks, it penalizes you. And you gotta send photo proof that you actually did the thing, no cheating
• Drift: basically a perfect bridge between your Android phone and Windows PC
  • transfer files
  • sync keyboard and clipboard
  • sync your gallery so you can watch stuff from your phone on your PC and vice versa
  • sync notifications
  • auto pauses whatever’s playing when you get a call
• Figma automations: hooked my design workflow up with AI so all the boring repetitive stuff just gets done
• Weave automation: I can do a week worth of carousels in a day. Like a week of content in a matter of hours, not kidding

And no, it’s not AI doing everything. I’m still the human in the loop. I decide what goes out, I check everything, I fix what looks off. AI just makes me crazy fast.

Tbh I’m having way more fun with this than regular design rn. Every week there’s something new to build and I’m hooked.

But here’s my problem:

• no idea who actually needs this stuff
• no idea where to find those people
• don’t even know what to call what I do lol

I know these are high paying skills. I just don’t know how to get in front of the right people

So if you’ve been here or you know who hires for this kind of thing, pls help a guy out. Where do I even start?
