Difficult Situation regarding Reopening During Covid-19
I am the Office Administrator at a small law firm. Covid-19 has hit us particularly hard and our paralegal and support staff have been working half time and getting half salary since the end of March. Lately, the morale has not been great as there has been no sign from the partners that the paralegals and support staff will be returning any time soon. People are stressed, and understandably so. I have brought up the morale to the partners ad nauseum and it seems to fall on deaf ears. Now, I have been asked to review the office Covid-19 policy once again to allow for limited client appointments in the office. This, in and of itself is not difficult. However, one part is going to ruffle feathers. The partners want me to assign the responsibility of wiping down the plexiglass barriers in the conference room and other surfaces to the staff when the attorneys are done with their meetings. They have expressed to me that someone needs to be assigned that task. Honestly, I feel that whoever is using the conference room should clean after themselves. With the morale so low at this point, if I come out with a new policy that assigns paralegals to basically stop what they're doing to go wipe down surfaces in the conference room after the attorneys are done with their appointments going to look like an insult. I can't afford to have the morale drop any further. Is it wring for me to ask the attorneys to clean up after themselves? I know I'm going to get backlash no matter how I do this, but our staff is working super hard, trying to get 8 hours of work crammed into a 4 hour day. Now I'm going to ask them to be cleaning ladies for the attorneys? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

The Perfect Resume Won't Save a Poor Job Strategy.
Yes, your resume matters, but it’s not the magic key. Too many job seekers spend weeks tweaking bullet points while ignoring the bigger picture: Are you applying to the right roles? Are you networking? Are you tailoring your applications?
A polished resume supports your strategy, but it doesn’t replace one.
You could have the most beautifully written resume in the world, but if you’re applying blindly online, not leveraging connections, or chasing roles that aren’t aligned with your skills, the results will still be disappointing.
Here’s the truth: Job searching is a full system, not a single document.
Want results? Focus on:
- Clear goals
- Smart targeting
- Consistent outreach
- And yes, a great resume that reflects all that.

Need some answers
I don't know what I am doing in my life right now. I have never been confused.
Let's start with my professional life. I have wanted to quit for so long, but there has been no job offer. Struggling every day.
Personally, I am in a relationship and we wanted to get married, but the guy's parents are not ready because I am 2 years older and different caste. They are just like I am not matching their criteria. Now, he is ready to leave his parents and marry me, but how do I convince my father to get us married? He is a heart patient, and I can never leave my family. My parents have done a lot for me, and I can't go against them. I can be a rebel and not marry anyone, but is it sensible to ask your father to get you married to the guy whose parents are not ready to even meet me?
So tired of everything now.

? 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?
