Im facing constant ageism just applying. I am in accounting and finance so experience truly counts. Should I just do consulting and contracts forever, I am collecting certifications now just to prove that I know what I know, and my references can attest to. I need other…

I'm facing what I knew would eventually happen: ageism, and they know they can hire someone cheaper for the salary I would ask for. I am a client success manager/client relations, or whatever title you'd prefer. When I last updated my resume, I kept only the last 10 years of…

Is it only me or has the current work environment morphed into something akin the "The Hunger Games" ? Thoughts are appreciated

The org I recently joined mentioned they are soon going into a hiring rush. This tech company is big too. Not sure if this is a good thing or if I should be skeptical that we’re looking at layoffs down the line .

Our company is doing a merger of equals with another company and I don't feel my leader is advocating for me. My skillset and knowledge-base is being widely underutilized. I'm afraid I'm going to be pigeon-holed into a type of role that I don't want (it isn't what I was even…

I've been searching for over a year and have progressed to final rounds for 16/18 companies. After keeping tabs of the candidate that was hired so I could review what other skills I may need ...all were internal candidates and even more frustrating, some had the roles before I…

Im seriously counting down the days until its time for me to leave this POS place I work at. I'm doing the work of 4 freaking ppl at my job with barely any help from my Supervisor & I have been getting criticized left & right about EVERYTHING I do for the past 2 weeks!! Is…

I left my toxic job earlier this year. Im in my 40s currently sending out my resume.I’m getting tired of these rejection letters. I realize AI has taken over a lot of jobs I’m exploring going back to school for healthcare but wondering how long is that going to take and if I’m up…

I resigned (more liked forced to resign)from an extremely toxic workplace almost two years ago. I havent been able to find another position as of yet. I decided to leave off the last position on my current resume because I wasnt able to utilize references from my direct…

Newly back on the Job market after a 6 year gap. Give me all the tips and tricks!

New Boss Both my coworker and I applied for this job. The person who got it has less years of experience not arguably, less to minimal industry experience, and was playing games during day one of in person orientation. This dude was sitting next to people who will be coming to…

As someone with no skill or a certificate what can you advice me to do in order to get a remote job

I recently left a five-year position with a company. I was not being challenged, I had received an accelerated degree and certifications and was not properly compensated for them. After a terrible incident with my former employer six month ago, I was yelled at and virtually…

I am interviewing for a role and everyone on the team has been with the company less than one year. I saw reviews about layoffs, and when I asked the hiring manager in one of the interviews, she said no layoffs, only with acquired companies. What are some questions I can ask in…

Major dilemma: I got recruited (again) and I’m completely torn on whether to take it. I am in a unique situation and I’m completely torn down the middle on my decision. I work for county government and oddly enough got recruited into my current job too, a little over a year ago.…

I gave my employee a performance review and mentioned some short comings and he got defensive. These short comings were discussed in previous one to ones. The employee was promoted into a leadership role and since has done little to learn anything outside of the day to day work.…

I've recently begun to SERIOUSLY actively job hunt after a few years of being unemployed. I've had a few side writing gigs, but nothing crazy. The past few years have been a struggle, beginning with my mother-in-law moving in with us. She had severe dementia - it was tricky…

Hi, I'm coming on here because I'm feeling a bit hopeless in the job market. It is tough, and that's becoming an understatement. I feel my skills are becoming out of date, as time passes and I'm even at that age where I might be overlooked. I just wonder if there are any of you…

I work for a start-up and the funder is a distant relative. They are also a micromanager and very demeaning. My title is COO. When there are revenue problems and I say "we need to come up with a plan", they say I'm the COO so I should have a plan. When I present a plan, the CEO…
