Lack of experience/ thoughts
Truly I’m not really sure what to write about here. I’ve seen so many amazing women write about there amazing experiences of getting through college, having/starting jobs, and there lives as parents.
Speaking for myself I don’t have very much to go off of. 3 months ago I moved out of my parents home in order start a life of my own. It was difficult and although I deeply love them, it was like a dog being tied to a pole only being able to go so far. I now live with my boyfriend and our dog Buster who basically takes up most of my day. I’m a college student studying psychology. I was really interested in this after my dad pasted from dementia ( that in itself is a long story) but it caused me to want to help others a lot.
College has been pretty great! It’s provided me with a job and good acquaintances. However, due to COVID I can’t really go out anywhere. So I just eat, sleep, cook, clean, work, take care of my dog and repeat. At least till school returns on the 22nd. Funny thing is I’m one of those people that even if I did have access to going out freely there’s nothing I can think of that interest me. Walks are life of course , malls are cool, and I enjoy visiting family when I can but it all comes back to me sitting at home alone till my boyfriend returns.
This isn’t to complain of make my life sound as if it’s horribly depressing. I’m very blessed and very fortunate. I just sometimes wonder if anyone else feels like this. This is just simply to tell you some of my life because I really have nothing else to share that I feel would be beneficial to anyone. However, I appreciate anyone who took the time to read. I know it’s most likely boring hence why I put it under other but I treasure anyone that has the same problem with trying to come up with things to write but put it out there anyway because ... why not. Thank you for reading!

? Truth time: Most resumes don’t stand out—and that’s exactly why so many job seekers get ghosted.
Your resume isn’t just a list of jobs. It’s your first impression, your pitch, your permission slip to get in the door.
After working with hundreds of job seekers, I’ve noticed a pattern: the best resumes aren’t just “well-written.” They’re strategic. They show value, impact, and intention.
But here’s the thing—we all approach resumes differently. So I’m curious…
What’s helped you land interviews (or stand out in a sea of sameness)?
And if you’re feeling stuck? I’ve got resources to help. ?

Trying to avoid pressing my nose up against the glass too much
I found out last week that our boss took a few team members on a leadership seminar trip. I feel like I should have been invited as well. I've done a great job, reviews are stellar, they give me impressive raises, and I've been hitting several milestones. The only thing these particular employees have over me is that they've been with the org for a few years longer than I have-- and, as if it should matter at all, they have political connections within our org (friends/family). Still, I have solid industry experience that matches or surpasses theirs. Not sure why I was overlooked. Maybe it's just not my time?

Do recruiters care if you reschedule the interview?
I’m sick and have an upcoming interview. The interview is with the in house recruiter via video so assuming it won’t be the most difficult interview. Not sure if I should wing it or risk losing the job if I reschedule because I know they hate that and also not sure where they are in the hiring process.
