Hello Everyone! I work for a nonprofit that recently did a disability access grant. One of the things that were brought to our attention was image captions on our social media posts. I'm trying to find additional pieces of training about social media accessibility. I've found…

I messed up and I think it’s going to cost me an interview. Background: I applied for an internal position within my company. I carefully worded an introductory email to the hiring manager and the recruiter, which got my noticed. Yesterday I received an email requesting a phone…

Looking for advice on signing up with an executive recruiter. After a year of trying to find a new position, multiple résumé rewrites and LinkedIn profile updates by a professional, and taken more classes to upskill, I am so frustrated and disappointed in the results. I am trying…

Career Mismanagement Leaves Me Lost This is my first post and is long to provide background and context: I spent most of my marketing 'career' (24 1/2 years!) in one place - albeit that one place went through an acquisition, then there were mergers, divestitures, and more…

Hello, I started with a company straight out of university and it was somewhere I thought I would spend most, if not all of my career. Unfortunately the Boy's Club culture led to a very unprofessional incident and hostile environment that led me to a hard decision of leaving…

How do you know if you've been blacklisted? I've interviewed about 6 times in the past 3 months in a field that has lots of openings. Two of the employers called me back for a second interview. I withdrew from one of those jobs and am awaiting an answer about the other job. I…

Final interview tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've researched the company, put together a brief 30, 60, 90-day plan and have a few questions prepared that showed that I understand the company. It's been a long time since I've had a final interview and…

Six months ago I was discharged from a job and was not given a reason. My boss met me in the parking lot and handed me an envelope with 2 weeks severance. When I asked why I was being let go I was told " I wasn't a good fit." I was the only LGBT person with the company. This was…

My workplace has become toxic. Previous to this year, I have enjoyed my work. I was able to shake off any negativity. Then, I experienced a loss of a beloved pet, my bonus mom, and two friends in the last three months of 2021. I sunk into a depression. I see a psychiatrist for…

Why does it raise eyebrows when you tell an employer you don't want to be promoted? I have worked in Information Technology for several years, prior to this I worked in the Hospitality Industry. Regardless of my title, I have always had employers try to promote me. I enjoy being…

If you get the paper work yo sign an offer can you still negotiate the salary? I spoke with the hiring manager and said the offer looks fine and I'd like a week to send it back. I put in my resignation at my current place and they counter offered. Can I ask the new hiring manager…

Large Corporation vs Family Business? I currently work for a global company as an accountant. I am considering a job at a much smaller company mostly due to its offer of remote work. As a mother, the flexibility is huge. One concern I have, however, is that if I wanted to leave…

when to tell a company that offered me a job that I’m 22 weeks pregnant? They offered me the job on Friday and I haven’t accepted yet. Should I tell them before or after I accept? I wanted to during the interview but it turned out to be a panel video interview and the opportunity…

Stock options vs ESPP. Just received a job offer and stock options are part of the package. I’ve tried googling and for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the difference between the new startup-ish job’s stock options and my current huge company’s ESPP is. Stock options…

Job offer I'm not sure I should take Hello all, I have received a job offer that is excellent money and the appropriate title for my years of experience. I am grateful as I have been unemployed for a couple of months. However, I don't believe I would be happy at this organization…

Hi all! I wrote about a month ago that I left a job that had gotten bad and I accepted another job that was even worse. I knew when I interviewed that the manager and I weren't going to click. Yes, through Zoom I could tell her attitude sucked. Well, they kept coming after me and…

What are your thoughts on leaving negative reviews on Glassdoor? For me it wouldn’t be out of spite - I know there are serious safety and ethical issues surrounding this one - woman circus and she preys on less experienced professionals looking for experience or further…

I’ve been in my current role for a year now and my boss and I have had a great relationship up until very recently. She has always been very supportive and has even talked about promoting me within 6 months. I love my job and my teammates and I’m working at my dream company. I’ve…
