I have a collaboration issue, and I want to get something off my chest... My company is having us do daily meetings with an offshore team, which is highly exhausting. We are mostly training them and handing over our work to them. It has been months of this, and we have two years…
I am 63 years old and not ready to retire yet, but also would prefer to work less than 40 hours per week. I have been with my current employer for 1 1/2 years (was a consultant to them prior to being hired as General Manager). What is the best way to approach asking to be part…
I've have had a long diverse career and I am getting ready to retire. I sold my home and now live full time in a Motorhome in Florida. I've been in the Motorhome for a year commuting back and forth to work. I have been educating myself on my new home and shaking out any issues…
I see job seekers stress over the wrong things on their resume. They’ll spend hours debating: • Should I use color? • One page or two? • What font is best? • Should I add icons or graphics? And I get it. Because those are easy decisions. But here’s the truth: ✨ A prettier resume…
I've been in the same role (title/pay) for my current employer just shy of 11 years and am very frustrated. Get a cup of coffee; this is a long post. I had hopes this would be my last employer (5-7 years to go to retirement), but am starting to interview outside the company - and…
Any tips for going back to school as an adult learner? I got a BA in 2002 and now I'm going back (different state and therefore school) to get my RN. Fortunately I only have to take a history class and the sciences before I can be admitted into the program. I have my first…
I have a second interview for an administrator position for a senior care facility. I had applied for a different, lesser paid job originally, but they felt I'd be a good candidate apparently for the other position. I've always done well in interviews, but I'm concerned that my…
I am a new position as a translator and it seems they have never hired one before, it's also a new project. The team gets busy doing their own thing, and I'm only needed in the meetings which happen maybe once or twice a week. The rest of the time, I literally have nothing to do.…
I'm on my last job (part-time, a few hours a week) after a very successful career in journalism and communications. Plan to retire next year. I went through a challenging time when I took a buyout in my 50s and had to change careers, unaware of the depth of ageism. However, I…

Hi Everyone, I’ve been a paralegal for over 20 years in the television entertainment industry. I’m considering pursuing a Master of Legal Studies (MLS), but I’ve been told by some that it’s a “worthless” degree and that if I’m going to invest the time and money, I should just go…
Where are the entry level jobs? I’m an industrial and systems engineering student graduating in May, and I’m struggling in the job search. Jobs that are listed as “new grad” are just hiring last summers interns, and other jobs that require a degree have applicant pools with very…
Needing insight - dead end with this role? Ive been through 3 interviews (HR screen, hiring manager, and then manager again with additional leadership) - followed by a lunch with the team I’d be working with. This was a week and a half ago. I emailed recruiter a week after the…
Is the position closed? Or not? I made it through the second round of interviews, and was waiting to see if I would go to the skills assessment and then final round (Director of L&D role). HR was good about emailing me weekly with "just waiting on them to decide next steps". This…
I have noticed an increase in demand for Solution architects and a sharp decline in demand for Enterprise architects. I have also noticed that in the job spec for EA roles, the role is actually an SA role. Are companies no longer seeing the value that EA brings?
I have been working in customer service for about eight years, but I want to make a career pivot into data analytics or project management. I also have prior experience in both fields. How the job market is currently, it has been challenging finding an entry-level position.
Meeting Prep/Questions... There was a meeting put on our calendars for this Thursday as a "team meeting" I work in a predominately male industry (I think there are 3 women in our office). As a Project Admin I do a lot of their admin stuff for our Construction projects. I was…
