What are some "yellow flags" — or things that make you take pause — in an interview or job description? Maybe it's not a red flag like reading "we're a family," but something that makes you think twice before applying or accepting an offer.

Salary Negotiation I greatly value the advice and wisdom of this group so I would like to pose a question regarding job offer negotiations. I am in the final stages of the interviewing process for a role that I think would be a great fit for me at this time. I would like to…

I want to put in my notice in at my current position of 1 1/2 years. I am a middle aged woman and work with "Leaders" in Education and I'm twice their age. I feel they are not accepting or understanding me as an individual due to the huge age gap. The kids I work with I get along…

One-on-one topics needed I don't have a real 'problem' but I am looking for ideas for things to discuss at my bi-weekly one-on-one's with my supervisor. We are a procurement team of three, a manager, a full-time employee and I am a temp with little hope of full time until 2024. I…

Interviews Leave Me Exhausted I am in the middle of a interviewing for a few positions. Last week, I had 4 interviews and next week 2 more. I am also currently working full-time. I was surprised how exhausting the interview process could be, especially when you have to go to work…

I currently work as a Manager in fast food. I've been there for 11 years. I'm about to turn 51 with health issues so it's really starting to get to me. The restaurant changed hands almost 3 years ago and the new owner took away the only perk I had..vacation time. So I've been…

Resume Question? I left my role 6 months back. The agreement with the company was that they will pay me 6 months severance and I will help them with the transition, which ended recently. I am wondering how do I show this on my resume? i.e position ended in Sep'21 and the…

Hello everyone! I need some serious advice and I don’t have anyone to ask. In September, I left my job of 10 years for career advancement. I worked with a small non profit as an AD for 6 mos, and decided to leave because I noticed some deep structural/organizational issues. My…

Burned out and becoming bitter In December, I got promoted (after 9 months of advocating for myself) and was very excited to take on my new role. However, my employer hasn't been able to backfill my previous role, so I'm stuck doing both jobs right now. We also had another…

Has anyone been able to successfully navigate "Bro" culture at the senior leader level? I'd love to see any honest training or resources. I work for an amazing ccompany, but my new leadership is horrible. I lead a very advanced team myself, and don't feel the support or vision I…

Do I need to update my LinkedIn profile? I was fired from my old job and I have a lot of looky-loos that are seeing if/where I landed. I normally would proudly share it, but I’m so worried about jinx’ing it that I don’t want to update it until I know I am keeping it. I also worry…
