Continuing to be thankful after Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a fabulous thanksgiving break! I know I did, and I made sure to take some time to talk about what I'm thankful for. I was returning back to Nashville and was in a wreck over the weekend and the first thing that my mom said to me was "thank god you're okay" to which I replied "yeah, but my CAR IS WRECKED" I had so much to be thankful for on Thanksgiving and then after an accident I was so worried about the materials things rather than my safety. So everyone, continue to be thankful for all the blessings and good things we have, and be thankful to wake up every morning!

Struggling to stay positive.
I have been out of work since the beginning of July. I have never been without a job for longer than a month and that was very early on in my career. I know to tailor my resume to each application but I feel like I am not getting through the ATS like I should. I am reaching out to people via LinkedIn who work at the companies and still nothing. I am so discouraged and I don't see how this will get any better with the projected job market for 2024. What else can I do?

My daughter accepted a job offer, her first since graduating college.
It's an entry level position at an university. After she accepted, she realized the parking pass she has the opportunity to purchase is more expensive than she realized.
I would appreciate advice on how to go back to them and ask for more money to make up for the significant parking cost.
Thanks!

Would you put this on your resume?
I left a job at a nonprofit in 2022 because the expectations of the job, as well as the way the organization was structured, made it impossible to actually work towards the mission. I laid out all of my concerns with the position when I left and let them know that was the reason I was leaving. I shared with them that the current structure was not set up for success.
After I left, they changed the structure of the whole organization, based on what I suggested. They eliminated the position that I had - because it wasn't working - and created three new roles, each with separate and distinct responsibilities. Before, we had three staff with identical job descriptions, responsible for different territories. I told them it was impossible to succeed that way, in this particular organization. Now on their socials they appear to be flourishing with this new format. Would you put the fact that they restructured based on your input on your resume?

I'm speaking to my manager about the possibility of growing into a higher position on the team in the future.
I'm highly interested in this position and expressed this to my manager a month ago, asking if I could shadow one of the team members in that position to learn more. My manager stated we would review at our meeting (which is tomorrow). Thoughts?

Has anyone gone through a vocational evaluation process where they try to determine whether you are underemployed?
If so, any tips would be highly appreciated.
