Need advice on how to deal with a difficult team member. About 9 months ago I was brought onto a new team to assist the senior manager in leading, training and handling the day to day issues that come up-keep the team of 3 team members functioning and our new client happy. This…

The written, online job description doesn’t match how the job is being described (the way it’s described sounds better)—minor miscommunication internally or major red flag? hey! Would you consider it a major red flag if the way a job has been described to you in interviews sounds…

Hi. I'd like advice on how to decline a coworker's offers to help me with my work because she tries to take over. For example she offered to help with a report I was writing, so I gave her 1 part to edit because she said she had nothing to do. I gave her instructions on what was…

In a recent video panel interview, (3 SMEs + 1 Talent Acq.), the last question I was asked (by the TA/HR person: "Will you require any accommodations?" I was floored. Usually this is a form one fills out in an application. To me, it seemed completely inappropriate to ask that…

I had a great interview 2 weeks ago for a new job and I sent both interviewers thank you emails and haven’t heard anything. Should I reach out or just wait to hear back?

I just found out that my coworker who is doing the same job as me is making 5000 a year more. When our company was acquired they brought us over at our current rates. Since she had been at the old company longer, she made more. Now we are both being promoted to a new position and…

Looking to make a big move, not sure how to position it with boss - need advice. At large company for more than a decade, and took a new role almost year ago, but it's clearly not a skills or culture fit for me. I'm not sure I even want to stay at the company, I want to say…

How do I share work in my portfolio that is under a NDA? I am a UX designer who is putting together a portfolio of work. Under my new job, I have a lot of great stuff I want to show as I believe it is way better than what I currently have in my portfolio. The only problem is I…

Did I Make A Huge Mistake? Eight years ago I went back to school at 45. Searching for the quickest path to completely change my career path - role and industry - I enrolled in a full-time MBA program and was one of a handful over 35. I enjoyed every minute of school and the…

I have been in IT industry as a software developer for about 9.5 years. I desperately want to get into a role that is a justice to my skills as well as my experience level from package perspective. I am looking for someone who can mentor me one-on-one with respect to tech…

I started my job a few weeks ago. There is no formal training and no structure to my job role. My team leader is moody and talks more about her personal issues than is willing to provide the training I require to undertake tasks independently and perform my job role. My team…

talk it out or ask for a transfer I've been in my position for less than a year at a large organization. It started off as a good role but now it's starting to turn into something I really don't like with different duties and more micromanagement from two people who were hired…

If you have experienced ageism in the workplace, either yourself or watching other employees, what has ageism looked like? And how old (if you can share) were the people experiencing it?

Hi! I have a long career in healthcare and education. About 4 years ago I added EMR and applications support to my wheelhouse. I am interesting in honing my skills in virtual training to hopefully move me to the next steps in my career. I'm not locked in to needing a remote…

Hello there. I have been a recruiter/CWM for several years. My husband travels for work so taking contracts for 4-12 months at a time has afforded me the opportunity to travel with him. Well now, I am ready and wanting to work and grow with a company. I am somewhat of a work a…

Using a new title. I'm starting a new role on July 1. It's a highly visible role and my hiring has already been announced on the organization's website. I'm a cautious person, and although I have no reason to think that anything will go wrong, I have not made big, splashy…

Seeking encouragement It's early, I just found out last night, but we're pregnant with our second. Our first is only 6 months old and I feel I'm still repairing my career having only been back 3 months. I love this job and while they love and support families, I know that it has…

Ok need all your HR advice. I interviewed with a pretty large, well-known company. I met the CEO virtually at the end of March for an hour. I thought it went great. I then had a virtual interview with 2 more executives. I then went in for an onsite tour of the property with one…

Professional Opinion Versus Personal Opinion I'm curious to know how often your personal opinion or belief about something differs from your professional opinion or belief about something is? Do you find it hard to separate the two? Or do you view your ability to separate the two…

Would you see these things as red flags? Hey! I’ve been interviewing for a new marketing job. I’ve been iffy about it; on the one hand, it’s a lot more money and responsibilities (both great) and (earlier in the process) I thought it would lead to the type of role I really want…
