AITA? I don’t always research the company I see on people’s resumes…Am I the outlier here or is that pretty standard? Sometimes I’d rather judge the person based on what they say they can do and find out the validity of their resume during the interview. Sometimes it backfires…
Hi, Fairies: I'm preparing to resign from a 'Senior X' role I started earlier this year for a higher-level, higher-paying opportunity. While I'm excited for the new role, I'm navigating how to handle my departure gracefully. My current title is inflated, and the reality has been…
Career Break Course For the past year I've been leading an in-person workshop geared towards helping job seekers return to the paid workforce after a career break and it's been a huge success. I truly want to help as many people as I can and I'd have a lot more reach with an…
Colleague's bullying is increasing More or less since the day I started with my organization about three years ago, this particular senior colleague has been at me, putting down my work or minimizing my contributions. She's not a supervisor, more like a long-time SME who has deep…
I saw a post that said an older woman coworker said Tia younger colleague “why are you working so hard? It’s not like they’re going to pay you double!” Another wise woman says “let them fail” when someone won’t listen to her people. A friend was told that he couldn’t take his…
I have an undergrad degree from UC Berkeley, a Master's and post-grad Certification from Johns Hopkins. However in 2017, I was in the small 27% of people who survive a hypoxia-induced anoxic brain injury from a contraindication of medications given to me in the post-op phase of…
little vent session and I could use some sound advice. I have been with my current employer for over three years. Its a solid company and currently undergoing massive growth. When I first joined, I joined as a Manager but was an individual contributor. Back then, we were a small…
My company has frozen raises and new positions in the US. I’m frustrated. Is this commonplace now? If I leave and find another job, will I face the same situation?
Struggling With Workplace Culture and a Difficult Supervisor Hi everyone, I could really use some perspective. I moved from a big city to a smaller town for my current job. I’m in my mid-20s and the youngest person in my office. My supervisor has been here her entire career and…
Imposter syndrome or legitimately not skilled enough? I felt like a failure in an interview. I interviewed for a volunteer position just a few hours per month and I was already intimidated by a few of the requirements, because I don't have the experience in the specific area, but…
Would love some advice on where to start in a career change. I don’t feel anything for what I’m doing and I’m afraid it’s showing in my work. I’d love to feel inspired and confident again. I know this position does not fit me and my purpose. I just don’t know where to begin to…
Hi ladies, I graduated from college with a bachelors in Marketing in May and I just completed a digital marketing internship. I am currently looking for remote jobs but I am having a hard time finding ones that are entry level. My resume is up to date and my portfolio has all of…
Hi there. I need some advice. The department that I am in is on site 5 days a week. I have made a request to possibly have an option to do one day at home as this job can be done from home. I was told unfortunately they can't do anything and management wants everyone in 5 days a…
Seeking Advice on Setting Boundaries with My Boss Hi everyone, I could really use some actionable advice. I started a new role about a month ago, landing it in part because of my reputation as a hard worker and a supportive team member. When I joined, I asked my boss what hours…
Contractors-How do you use the linkedin open to work banner? Hello! I have been consulting/contracting for almost 2 years now and I tend to leave the open to work banner on my profile pic because the work can span anywhere from 1 week to 6 months. They may extend, but I can't…

Finding a remote job has felt like I'm pulling teeth. I'm a mother of two disabled children. I don't have the option to be on-site; however, I have the skills and education. I feel like I'm running out of options.
Does anyone actually find success in the job application process on LinkedIn—applying, hearing back, interviewing, and ultimately getting hired for the role they applied to? I see hundreds of jobs posted, many with over 100 applicants. Out of all those, how many people are truly…
So this just happened today. I left a job of 5 years for an opportunity parallel to what I was doing, but closer to my home. I was there for 7 days and was let go because I was not a good fit. Not because I did anything egregious, but because they decided I was "not good fit".…
I’m a big advocate of networking since other than my first two jobs out of school have all been the direct or indirect result of a connection. But as I explained to a friend who asked me to help him find a job at my entertainment industry company, not only did I know someone but…
