Looking for advice. I'm confident in talking to and advocating for customers, communication with co-workers and based on customer and colleague feedback that I am doing a great job BUT whenever I have to talk with supervisors or managers during bi-weekly sales meetings I tend to…

I was curious how people approach giving their two weeks notice and answer "where are you going" . I know it is by no means the law to tell your current employer where you are going and quite frankly I do not want to tell them where I am going (when I eventually make it out- been…

So I worked at a job for a month and left while in training for a new opportunity. I did not put it on my resume or application as I did not find it relevant. Fast forward I am in a new company and a person from that old 1 month company just started.

What to do when you have an offer but you're also interviewing for a position that you feel could be 'the one.' I realize that there isn't a perfect position but if I'm honest with myself, I'm more interested in the one I don't have. I'm fortunate to be employed so I have the…

I was hesitant about taking a job with a remote bookkeeping company because of disaster stories CPAs have told me with unqualified bookkeepers and other tales. I was approached by one at the end of last year and thought they sounded reputable and my job driving long-distance…

I'm curious: What career advice have you received that sounded good, but you realized didn't apply to your situation? As a career coach, I strongly believe career advice (or any advice for that matter) is not one-size-fits all. I've been weary of inspirational quotes for this…

I have something I just need to get off of my chest. I have been working at my job for a little over a year now. I absolutely love the job, my supervisor, and everyone I work with. I don't want to leave. However, I took a pay cut to take this job because I KNEW I'd love it. The…

My self-esteem is below ground after this job... Started a new job and it wasn't what I expected - I wasn't what my manager expected either and our relationship is horrible after 4 months. I'm currently under a performance improvement plan which is the last chance at keeping the…

Hello all, I finally found a front end job in a private practice after 3 temp corporate gigs. I had such high hopes! I was very clear when interviewed that I had zero experience doing any type of billing, particularly on the computer. I am not afraid of computers, and have worked…

My spouse and I are looking to relocate closer to family. We are both final candidates for positions and hoping the timing works out. If one of these jobs doesn't work out we may stay where we are. The frustrating thing is at least two employers my spouse interviewed with…

How do I fix my "tone?" This has come up several times in my full-time and consulting work. First, some background: Up front, I will say that I tend to be direct with what I need from a client for clarity's sake. I'm a consultant and am constantly working with multiple people on…

Hi all, I'm new here! I have been unemployed since Covid and now applying to various jobs in the art&culture sector (bot for profit and non profit). A position as an exhibition manager just opened up at a Foundation that I highly admire, so I applied last week and I’m sitting…

Hi! I am new here :) I moved in U.S. last year and I had no job for almost 10 months, due to immigration. When finally I had my papers done, I start applying for jobs but no luck, I keep getting rejected. My work experience was in customer service, but nowadays I don't know what…

I've been looking for a new job for two months. I've sent out 15 resumes - and nothing. I get the thank you for applying emails, but beyond that it's crickets. I've never experienced this in my career. It's not like I'm not qualified for the roles I am applying for. Is this the…

Intense conversation with (male) manager Dear community, I'm reaching out to ask for advice regarding a conversation I had with my manager last week. My company still does whf so my team usually chats on teams, and would usually have several catch up meetings throughout the week.…

I am a project manager and I am looking for a part-time job. While this is quite common in other countries, it is basically nonexistent in the US. It's either retail or nursing and without benefits. Being flexible and working from home turned into a work-all-the-time situation…

Is it a good sign when a company asks for references at the end of the interview process?

I have worked for the same small company for four years. I have been told that I am essential and important to keep the company running. (Payroll, Finance, AP,AR, office management, some HR ) My duties have easily tripled since COVID and I'm often called to help in other…

Paperwork for a promotion and salary increase for me was drawn up, and then because of budget cuts wasn't submitted. Ive been doig the work of two people for about 3 years. I'm told that the intention is still to submit my paperwork but "not right now." Historically, in my place…
