Any advice for someone searching for work during their first trimester of pregnancy?
I currently work with a temp agency for income and am applying for my next role. From what I've read on the boards, it seems that most women are firmly established at their companies but I was forced to look for a new role outside of my former company due to a health condition. They were unwilling to move me to a different role within the company. Any suggestions on how to navigate the next 4-6 months before giving birth?

? 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.
