Job searching: you either get picked, picked on, or picked over. I spent 20 years with one company. I am the first to admit I am not good at selling myself. Each time I apply to a company I am told I have a great skill set I'm perfect for the job, but it's been given to someone…

Hi All! I've been keeping an eye on the job market lately. I'm realizing as I'm looking at things, I'm still looking for entry level jobs. I've been out of school for about 5.5 years now. So I was wondering when you started to realize you've been in the market for a while and can…

I've not seen any discussion around this. When recruiters reach out for contract roles, they always say the client won't go any higher than x. But they are quoting you the retail price. There is likely 35-50% margin that the recruiter makes if they place a candidate. What is the…

I'm 39 years old and I'd like to move out of the Hospitality Industry for several reasons. The main one is because my body feels like it's been hit by a truck every day when I get home from a high volume shift. I've always been a creative and would like to get into Set Design but…

I have a question about turning down a job offer. I interviewed for a position that I was interested in, but had some family medical issues arise during the process. I ended up receiving an offer, but have decided to decline. My primary reason is my personal situation. Although…

Suggestions on increasing value needed. I was hired for a great director role in my field. My boss is the person I am replacing. They are retiring in Q1 (in 9 months) I just found out that they expected the hiring process to take six months, so they built that into the timeline.…

I recently learned I am being paid significantly less than other male team members. The crazier thing is I am the team lead and have more responsibility than any of them and also consistently preform higher than them. What do I do? N.B. I raised to HR but I've been told by a…

I delivered a resignation letter, but my company still needed me after my anticipated term date. I agreed to stay on and we agreed to revisit whether I would continue working at determined future dates. Nothing was formally written to me at that time. They are now formalizing an…
