Jess Weiss, co-founder of Trix Magazine, reminds us of something we sometimes forget.

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 Mitali, a former Cognizant employee and a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas. I have experience in Salesforce, business analytics, and cloud technologies. 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. If anyone has recommendations or knows of companies hiring, please feel free to connect or message me. Thank you in advance for your support!

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.

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.

A career isn’t something you just build; it’s something you grow into. If you, like my friend, are looking to level up your career, here are a few ideas that might help you move forward, feel more aligned, or simply reconnect with what drives you.
