Hello all, I'm in the Northern Virginia area and would love to be able to find a private practice medical office looking for a really good receptionist/office administrator.

She did the same BS to me last month for the newsletter I requested her input for. I sent her 2 FREAKING MESSAGES, & she never did respond, then criticized my newsletter after i finished it. She always does BS like this. I need another job ASAP. She picks & chooses what she wants to respond to, WHEN she wants to work, & WHEN she wants to be bothered. I hate it here. She sent a Slack message to my Director not too long after I sent my email & let her know what she had just finished working on and logged off for the weekend. She does BS like this all the freaking time & im sick of it. My Director does nothing about her behavior, sides w/her, & refuses to hold her accountable for anything. I need another job asap!! The job market is 1 million percent despicable right now. I have applied to countless places for the several months now, used ChatGPT to help me tailor my resume to the job description of the position I applied for, followed up with recruiters on LinkedIn who work for the companies I applied to just to get ignored. I am 1million percent drained, beyond weary, burnt out, & tired of either being ignored by recruiters, told that employers are "still evaluating applications" & it has been over 4 months since I applied, or not hearing anything back from recruiters at all. No one understands how terrible it is to work for a narcissistic Supervisor who is in cahoots with management and how she is constantly unresponsive when you have a question about something, & is unreliable in general. There has got to be a way out because this is pure misery. Im willing to take a temp to perm job at this point smh.

Job search success requires clearing your head of unsubstantiated myths. ❌ Using LinkedIn's "Open to Work" Banner Makes You Look Desperate ❌ The ATS is Rejecting Your Application ❌ It's All Just Luck ❌ Employers Should Talk to All Applicants ❌ Biases and "Isms" are Why I'm Not Getting Hired https://artoffindingwork.substack.com/p/myths-job-seekers-believe-or-are

For those recruiters who hate AI, I don't blame you! I got a first round interview for a position I really want. Unfortunately this was one of the first positions I applied to in my job search and I was using AI to help me get started (I've since learned about the hazards of AI for resume/cover letters). There was one issue with my resume I submitted for this position not showing two positions as contract/temporary (though this is reflected on my Linkedin profile). The second issue is that the cover letter I submitted referenced the wrong area for a project I had led (I work in accounting transformation and had a led a revenue project at a large company but only assisted in a huge lease project and the cover letter stated I had led the lease project). I would like to clarify this with the recruiter so I am not misrepresenting myself. Is this a good idea? If so, what is the best way to do this and should I do it before the interview? Thanks.

There is nothing more advantageous for a job seeker than having a magnetic personality. Two interview truisms: 1️⃣ Being likeable trumps your skills and experience, and 2️⃣ Throughout your interview, your interviewer is asking themselves: "Do I like this person?" https://artoffindingwork.substack.com/p/being-charismatic-greatly-benefits

I recently applied to 2 companies for which I’m in the final process now. One of them (my personal favorite) came back with a lowball offer which would mean a 15k pay cut from where I am now. They say they won’t negotiate. However, they are a big name and brand, well-respected and it would probably look good on my resume. Despite the low offer, I do have a good feeling about them but I also don’t want to start regretting the pay cut. The second company is still in startup phase and while I understand many people like this, I’m personally not a big fan because of the lack of processed and the dominating politics. I’m still waiting on an offer from them and it would be most likely a pay raise for at least 10k, if not more. The third option is staying at my current company which is a shaky startup that fires employees left and right. My job is not guaranteed there. what do I do? Take the brand name for a pay cut or the shaky startup for a pay raise? Love to hear some experiences!
