Why did I lie on my resume? I learned Accounts Payable in Quickbooks in a test environment, thought about the AP process from beginning to end, and felt confident enough to put it on my resume. I applied and interviewed for an AP position. During the interview the CFO told me not…

Starting a new job tomorrow. Starting over again in Healthcare. I need to avoid the situations I found myself in previously... Drama, over extended, burn out and thinking everyone was my friend and on my side. How do I avoid ending up in the same hot waters?

I've had two excellent first interviews with second ones coming. One job I want more than the other. How do I handle an offer coming from one, while waiting on the other that I really desire. And, yes, I know about the bird in the hand. The Software Executive Sales position is…

Do you feel pressure to "always be networking"? I feel like I see a theme in career advice to always be networking, but with working a full-time job, networking can feel like another added responsibility. Do you set aside extra time for professional development, and how often?

How Do you.. Gain the confidence when going into a meeting with your boss to stand your ground? There have been issues at my current job, (most recently I just posted about issues with a newer HR manger and telling me about how I am not engaged in my work, and etc.) she has been…

Planning to give notice… I took a job in January 2021. There was a lot I liked about it but there were a few small things that became big things. By my second day there was a lady I knew was going to be a problem, and boy did I call that one. She is constantly saying undermining…
