Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves access to clear, actionable career guidance. That’s why we’ve built a comprehensive resource covering everything from landing high-paying jobs without a degree to mastering the art of salary negotiation. Our content is designed for real people facing real challenges in today’s job market—from college students seeking part-time remote work to experienced professionals dealing with burnout, and from immigrants navigating U.S. work authorization to parents looking for flexible home-based opportunities.
What We Cover
Career & Jobs: Discover pathways to employment that fit your situation. We provide city-specific insights for New York job seekers, detailed guides on breaking into industries like tech and finance without traditional credentials, and curated lists of companies hiring remotely. Whether you’re interested in union jobs, weekend gigs, government positions, or entry-level roles that pay $20+ per hour, we deliver practical intelligence you can act on immediately.
Entrepreneurship: Explore side hustles, freelancing opportunities, and business-building strategies. From starting a delivery job in NYC to monetizing platforms like TikTok, we help you diversify your income streams while working full-time. Our guides cover everything from legit freelance websites to real estate side jobs that don’t require a license.
Money: Master your finances with salary benchmarking tools, budgeting app comparisons, and negotiation templates. Learn how much you should actually be paid in New York, understand retirement planning for freelancers, and discover strategies for building passive income alongside your day job.
Motivation & Mindset: Navigate workplace challenges with confidence. We offer scripts for dealing with toxic bosses, frameworks for handling job rejection positively, time management systems for busy professionals, and guidance on maintaining work-life balance as a remote worker. Our content addresses the mental and emotional sides of career development, not just the tactical steps.
Study and Education: Invest in skills that pay off. We evaluate short certifications with strong ROI, compare Google Career Certificates and IT credentials, review free online courses recognized by U.S. employers, and profile trade schools and coding bootcamps in New York. Whether you’re considering a career change course as an adult or exploring AI skills training, we help you make informed education decisions.
Meet the Founder
Hello everyone, I’m Mandy Buddenberg, a Dutch entrepreneur who believes deeply in the power of meaningful work. I’ve built multiple successful platforms because I’m genuinely obsessed with helping people find careers they love. I’m self-taught, business-minded, and proud of the path I’ve carved without formal mentors. My other venture, itismandystyle.com, showcases the creative side of my work. Through Get The Career, I want to give you the hope, opportunities, and information you need to build a professional life that excites you. Whether you’re looking for your next job, planning to start a business, or simply trying to figure out your next move—I’m here to help. Feel free to reach me anytime at Info@getthecareer.com.
Why Trust Get The Career?
We don’t just aggregate job listings or recycle generic advice. Our content combines current labor market data, real salary information, employer insights, and step-by-step frameworks you can implement today. We understand the nuances of the New York job market, the realities of remote work in 2025, and the challenges facing job seekers without traditional four-year degrees. From resume templates tested for ATS compatibility to interview scripts organized by career level, everything we publish is designed to give you a competitive advantage.
Our Approach
We write for humans, not algorithms—though we make sure search engines can find us when you need us most. Every guide addresses real search queries we know people are asking: “How do I get a job in NYC with no experience?” “What are legit remote data entry jobs?” “How do I explain employment gaps in an interview?” We answer these questions thoroughly, honestly, and with specific examples you can adapt to your situation.
Our content serves diverse audiences across the career spectrum—from high school students creating year-by-year plans to immigrants navigating credential recognition, from burned-out professionals seeking mental health resources to ambitious individuals building personal brands on LinkedIn. We cover overlooked niches like night shift jobs in New York, pet sitting businesses, and AI prompt engineering because we know career paths are no longer linear or predictable.
Start Your Journey
Browse our categories, bookmark the guides relevant to your goals, and return whenever you need clarity. Whether you’re drafting a follow-up email after an interview, researching which coding bootcamp to attend, or deciding if it’s finally time to ask for that raise—we’ve got you covered. Your career deserves more than luck. It deserves strategy, preparation, and access to information that actually works.
