Not sure yet?

You don’t need it figured out. You need a place to try it.

Most people don’t know what they want to do until they’ve done some of it. Betting everything on one path and one employer is a lot to ask when you’re just starting out.

So start with what you’re naturally good at. Do real marketing, sales or operations work, see what fits and build from there, with people around you who’ve done it before.

Figuring it out is part of the job.

What you get

Experience that counts. Hours that fit.

  • Real-world experienceReal work for real organizations, without a full-time commitment. A real title on your résumé from day one.

  • Mentorship that fitsWe match you with clients whose character fits yours, so you learn from people worth learning from.

Where it leads

A start. Not a stopgap.

This is a real career move, not something to fill the gap until one comes along.

Path one

Grow with Dropout

Take on bigger roles, more clients and, in time, lead others. We’d love to build this alongside you.

Path two

Grow with a client

Some clients will want you full time. If it’s right for you, we’ll back the move. We’ll be sad to see you go, and proud too.

Path three

Take it anywhere

Real titles, real results and references from people who’ve seen your work. They go wherever you go.

Questions

Before you apply.

I don’t know what I want to do yet. Is that okay?

Yes. That’s who Dropout is built for. We match you to what you’re naturally good at, so you find out what fits with real experience behind you.

Shouldn’t I get a full-time job first?

You can, and plenty of great careers start that way. Here you get the same foundations: a real title, real responsibility and references from real businesses, with a team behind you and room for a life outside work.

How many hours is it?

It depends on the role and the client. Hours are agreed before you start, and they’re fractional by design.

Can I fit it around study or another job?

Often, yes. Tell us your hours on the application and we’ll look for work that fits.

Who pays me?

Dropout. Contracts and pay run through Dropout, so you’re never chasing an invoice.

How does the delivery bonus work?

When a client signs on, we agree with them what gets delivered each month. Deliver it, and part of Dropout’s fee is paid to you as a bonus. Your base pay never changes.

What happens after I apply?

We read every application ourselves. If it looks like a fit, we’ll invite you to round two: a conversation and a small real-world task.

Apply

Round one. Five questions.

Real situations, honest answers. A few sentences each is plenty, and it takes about 15 minutes.

Before you start

AI answers will be immediately disqualified. Write from the soul.

No résumé needed for round one. Questions? Email dropin@withdropout.com.
