I'm working with a professional resume writer as I haven't had much luck with my current version. I like this person and I value his judgement. He told me something today when we were working on some resume draft revisions that I had never heard before. I started my own company…

I feel like I am slowly losing it. I have been WFH for the past two years. I don't think that my mental health is good. I am easily agitated and lash out at my family. I feel that my work is so boring day each day I am only able to work 30 min to and an hour. Yesterday I worked…

Hello All! I am thinking of getting my Project Management certification. I've been in the Banking and Service Industry for years but I have always interested in PM. I wanted to know if there are any PM's out there that could give good advice when starting out. Is it hard to find…

Do you tell your boss AND coworkers where/what your next job is? Why or why not? Not really looking for advice, just curious how everyone approaches this situation. After you’ve given your two weeks notice to your boss about a new job and you start telling your team (or they find…

How should I tell my boss if I don't want to take on a new project? I have been interviewing for a new job and had my last round of interviews with a company last week. The hiring manager told me I should hear back in 2 weeks, and the recruiter assured me that "things are going…

They posted the wrong salary? My colleague called me for advice yesterday. She was interviewing for her dream job with her dream employer. SHE GOT THE OFFER but it was $30K less than the pay range listed in the requisition. She was shocked, sputtered then questioned the recruiter…

I was promised my supervisor's role once she retires, but instead the position was reclassified and an external agency used to attract candidates. I was the only internal candidate and after four rounds, not sent to the final rounds because I was doing phenomenal in my current…

I’m at a new job and I have regrets. I’ve only been with my new employer for three months. So far I’ve learned most of my team mates are either new or are actually contractors. Apparently, there was a mass exodus in 2021 which led to a severe brain drain. Also, my boss and his…

Is anyone else struggling with their job search? If so, how are you handling it?

I've got a new job! Trouble is, I haven't commuted to an office in 26 months. I have LOVED being home and able to throw in a load of laundry or eat lunch on my back patio. Not to mention the ability to virtually live in jeans and hoodies. (At least the new office environment is…

Most people "wait and see." The problem is that’s how you end up in a job that’s unfulfilling, draining…. And usually paying less than you deserve. Plus you might stick around, loyal as ever, only to get laid off one day. For example, I knew someone who was loyal to her…

Thoughts about the best way to answer the interview question: what was useful constructive feedback you received? I understand that it is good to show that you can accept feedback, apply it, and grow. However, I'm wondering about the best kind of example to use as an experienced…

Best sites to apply for jobs? I really enjoy LinkedIn, but I'm worrying I'm missing things. I know a lot of companies also use indeed, but I can never find the right positions I'm looking for (their search function is just a little too broad). I've also looked at glass door…

I'm feeling lost and I don't know what I want to do in my career - any advice? I'm not very senior by any means, but I'm 27 & have about 4.5 years of work experience. I'm at my second job which I'm currently not a huge fan of, so I've been looking for a new job. I feel so lost…

Is it normal to tell a candidate that they have less than 24 hours to sign the offer letter? I'm in tech. My first job.

Hello all! As this if my first post with regards to networking, I'm currently job hunting (to get out of my current position) and am overwhelmed by what's out there! To give you a small background, I’ve been working in an academic setting for nearly 10 years now – the majority of…

TMI: I take several heavy duty prescriptions and have been shoveling Sudafed to survive allergy season. I just did my pre-employment drug screen, with my list of medications in-hand, and I was shocked that they did not ask about prescriptions or OTC medicines and the nurse did…

I have a job I like but just accepted one with greater benefits and flexibility. They are asking if I can start in 2 weeks. I'm about to give notice and I have a feeling my current job will not be expecting this move and want more than 2 weeks. I know 2 weeks is standard, but I…
