Question about re-applying for the same job Hi, FBG-ers! Last fall I was recruited for a high level position in an organization similar to mine, but in a city where I used to live. I was very excited about it, and even made it to the "they'll fly me in for f2f interviews"…

How do you regain your confidence? I am losing my confidence. I started reporting to a new boss, who doesn't seem to have a nice word for me. However, if I make a mistake, he is quick to point it out. A lot of criticism, but no recognition. Previously I had a really supportive…

I had an interview with the group on Friday. The director asked if I was available for a brief zoom call on Tuesday. Is this typical for a job offer or rejection ??

Good work. I like the idea of working in healthcare, in administration. It sounds like I'm working at something of intrinsic value. I have an interview with a travel company, which isn't really intrinsically valuable. Heck I know I overthink everything. I'm going to interview and…

How do I tell my boss I want to step down from being a lead on the team because they haven’t changed my title or increased my pay? A few months ago my manager left for a new role and instead of hiring a new manager they hired a co-worker at my level. He had no experience using…

Now what? Back in January, I turned in notice. My boss asked what needed to happen to keep me. I gave him a list of four items that needed to change and he verbally agreed to make them happen. (I know, should have asked for in writing). Now it's July and I have slowly watched…
