What do you do when you're having a bad day...
Bad work days are bound to happen. Bad personal days happen too. When they are one in the same, what do you do to get by? Today has been one of those days. Usually I tend to want to eat junk or blast music. Would love some new suggestions for when, despite everything going, I still have work to do, conference calls, etc and can't cry all day! lol I can't be the only one!

I wish you all the best.
I've decided to step away from FGB, LinkedIn and all other job search sites I've signed up for. None of these sites have worked for me. I've been out of work for 15 months. I've had 2 interviews for contract positions and no interviews for perm positions. I've been working with 6 different recruiting and staffing firms and nothing. I don't have spousal income nor am I independently wealthy. Not sure what's in the stars for me but I do know that I'm EXTREMELY tired of this entire process.

I’m currently seeking new opportunities in business analysis, CRM, or related roles. I’d be so grateful for any leads, advice, or referrals to help me get my foot in the door.

Job Search Myth: "If I apply to more jobs, I’ll get hired faster."
Quantity doesn’t beat quality. Sending out 100 generic resumes won’t open as many doors as 10 targeted, tailored applications.
Focus on roles that match your skills, customize your resume, and write a thoughtful cover letter. It’s not a numbers game; it’s a strategy game.

Benefits for hourly employees?
I work as a recruiter for a relatively small employer (about 50 employees) The CEO asked me my opinion about not giving health, PTO, and holiday benefits to our hourly full-time employees in an effort to cut costs. She wants only salaried employees to have benefits.
I gave her my take on this and am curious about yours (pros and cons) especially those in HR.
Thanks.
