Ghosted by a recruiter! I’ve just started looking for a new position and applied for a position through an external recruiter. I’m well-qualified. The recruiter reached out, asking to set up a time to talk. I scheduled with her, but she didn’t call at our meeting time! I followed…

How do I tactfully explain to a recruiter that I'm not interested in interviewing for a role because the benefits aren't sufficient? I'm connected with a freelance recruiter on LinkedIn, who is very active in the city I live in. They recently offered me an interview for a role…

Hi! Not sure who needs to see this, but wanted to share my perspective on "mistakes." Mistakes are learning experiences that help you grow. If you're ruminating on something you did, practice self-compassion. Give yourself time and space to process your feelings. Extract the…

I gave my boss a lead to a new business opportunity because 1. I believe it's a good fit; and 2. I'm really really new to this field and I'm older, so I know that I have to put a bit more effort into things to make a go of it. Currently I am a 1099 and paid a good wage, but…

Have you ever had to do an asynchronous interview? I've heard these kinds of interviews — where you have a question and have to film yourself giving the answer, rather than having a conversation with someone from the team— are becoming more popular. If you've done one, how did…

It has been a week..... Friends it has just been a week. In my career I don't want to fail, but this week I have seen nothing but failure. It's come to the point where I don't know if I am a good fit for my role. I do not have much support from other coworkers ( only a few, the…

Am I cursing people to lose their job? I am in the C level division at my work in a small group of 50. I am in a admin role and have no one under me, so I tend to get closer to coworkers cross functionally. However the last 3 coworkers I have been fairly close to at work have…

I've been thinking a lot about the ways I can continue to educate myself throughout my career trajectory. I've tried conferences, but sometimes those are a little too long and/or filled with sessions I don't need. I've looked into courses, but some of those can be pricey, too.…
