I am looking for advice on how to ask for a promotion following my first performance review (that reflects I’ve accomplished all goals and exceeded my new boss’ expectations) at a new job. My current role is a manager and I have been applying to assistant director positions. I…

How to have a productive networking meeting... I scheduled several networking meetings with women who hold powerful positions in companies I'm interested in working for. I plan to ask for their advice on skills I should master and how to meet more professionals in our…

I’m in two minds about something. During my recent job search I have been put forward for jobs by recruiters that are a step up from my previous role. In almost each case(2 of 3) I was rejected due to needing more experience at a higher level. The other one I was rejected for…

I have listened to several presentations on getting "unstuck in your career" that focus on values and strengths. However, the sites they suggest for determining strengths turn out to be just lists of personality traits - not abilities. Skills are glossed over - almost as an…

I am transitioning to a new job. I have the same title as before, but my new company is much larger (~500 employees vs less than 20 at my old job). Any tips on how to adjust to working for a much larger employer?

I am participating in a Leadership Development Program at work. Part of the program is to work with a mentor. My supervisor helped me identify a mentor. It's my responsibility to identify discussion items/topics for the mentor calls which are recommended to occur monthly. Up to…

Hello everyone! I started a new job about two months ago in a senior leadership role in a completely different industry and a completely different job scope from my previous company. I was also one step more junior in my previous company so this is a promotion as well. My new…

Any pointers out there for redefining boundaries with a colleague who works in the same department (neither of us have a supervisor role over the other)?

So I am a month into my new job. It is a fast paced environment with different divisions and processes. We have to fill and complete a timesheet at the end of each day showing what work we have done, etc. Today we had a meeting and I was told to pull up my socks when it comes to…

Lower-level job at a top company or senior position at smaller company? This is all hypothetical at this point (no offers in hand), but I'm a senior-level tech worker interviewing for both a senior role at a small company, and also two mid-level roles at a big company where I…

I started a new role a few months ago. There have been a lot of unexpected surprises about the organization's structure and future direction which differ from how the role was presented during the interview process. I'm feeling misled. Any suggestions to cope with "buyer's…

My old company recently reached out to me to ask if I’d apply for some of their open positions. At the time, they had me speak to their HR representative, and I stupidly told her my salary range, expecting I’d apply for an analyst position. But since then, I’ve interviewed for a…

I just need to vent to those who understand. I am the practice manager of a very small office. Employees are hard to find in this area...and especially now with the work force choosing to stay home. So I keep my "management" thoughts to myself and not say anything that could be…

I have been offered a part-time gig that would not conflict with my current full-time job (time nor responsibilities). I did not find any policies or clauses regarding getting additional employment with my full-time job. I have heard other colleagues do gigs outside their work.…

What is the best way to find a legitimate remote job? I'm an Executive/Administrative Assistant with many years of experience. I look at Indeed and LinkedIn daily. I had a situation last week with LinkedIn. I feel stupid that I did what I did, but it sounded like a great…

For senior roles and above, is it rude to ask for the salary range before scheduling the first call with HR? I've been interviewing for a few weeks now and I'm finding out that some of these salary ranges are way below my expectations. I don't want to waste anyone's time, even…

what are people's thoughts on quitting a job without another one lined up? I feel like job searching, interviewing, and making sure you find the right fit is so difficult when you're already burnt out and running on fumes from your current job. but on the other hand, it feels so…

For anyone who had dreams and then "life happened," don't give up. For me, it was the long road and not the quickstep. I lived through layoffs, the 2008 housing bubble, raising children, and sick parents along with a money-grubbing ex-spouse. But be encouraged. Life makes a…

Conflicted. I accepted this job a month ago. It pays really well, more than I could imagine, and is hourly. However, I'm realizing that I'm more of a person for them to take advantage of than an actual supervisor. This entire month I haven't done any supervising roles. I've only…

Any advice on how to ask for a raise (and hopefully get it)? I think I am worth every penny they pay me and then some. The job market is hot and it seems like money is out there. Tempting to look but I’d rather stay at my current company. I always go above and beyond and work…
