For many years, I owned my own business. Unfortunately, that ended and now I’ve got two resume questions… 1) I don’t have a title besides “business owner.” Should I just change the job title to whatever fits the position? 2) How should I handle references? I don’t have any!…

I was let go from my dream job after 6 months of working with a very difficult client who wanted me gone. How do I explain this going forward in the job seeking process? Thanks for any insight.

Feeling defeated as I felt forced to give my two weeks' notice today. Long story short, I called a meeting yesterday to discuss defining department responsibilities with my manager. Due to a restructure everything's been so fluid lately that the team is having difficulty…

Are project hire positions worth it? I was recently contacted by a very large, well-known and respected company for a very specific type of skillset and experience. The requisition has been open for approximately one month (many people who applied did not have the skills so they…

Hello Ladies, As a 50+ lady I am excited about navigating a career change. However, the interview process is rather different these days. I have been invited to complete a TestGorilla Assessment and am curious about what to expect. The interviewer mentioned that all this test is…

I work in the accounts payable department of a company that owns several apartment buildings and other commercial entities. Everyone in my department has a very negative outlook on the work environment- no one wants to be there. Our boss is a type A person and wants to control…

In today's society of everything being done quickly do you still send a snail mail thank you after an interview or is an email sufficient? Thanks

For varying reasons, I quit a WFH job and took a job with a 40 minute + commute and paying less, but with less stress, promising more flexibility, and fewer “work” hours. After a little over a month, I have found the job is not all that it was presented to be, or promised to be -…

I am torn about the position I am in... I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and have not shared the news with anyone at work except a close co worker. Last week a recruiter from a company that is my current company's direct competitor reached out to me for a job that I have always…

Good Afternoon! Quick question! How long after submitting resume and application does it typically take to hear back from a company ? If you don't hear back, do you tweak your resume and try again, if so how long after first application?

Opinions/advice wanted.... I work one day a week for a publishing company as a writer and editor. I've come to realize that my boss, who has no assistant, has begun to suffer from early dementia. He hired me at a pay rate that the company can't afford, and ended up asking to cut…

Venting...we were forced back into the office and are still required to have our cameras on for all meetings and calls. It's like the worst of both worlds. All of the headache and expense of a commute without any of the alleged benefits of being in the office. I spend more than…

I’m considering a change after being at the same company for 15 years. I love my job and don’t necessarily want to leave but I’m under paid. I haven’t asked for a raise yet and plan to do so as part of my mid year appraisal. As part of the management team, regularly hearing about…
