Passive Candidate I have a great relationship with my boss; we commiserate about our extra dysfunctional, massive organization (yes, all places have issues.) In many ways I have vastly more experience than he does and we both are far more talented and technically skilled than is…

In an era of branding yourself and adding that flavor into your resume, does anyone have examples of how to sprinkle in personality? I feel my resume is flat and even worse, I work in marketing! How far can I go to add more of who I am while still keep it professional. Can I use…
I ended up transitioning to another career within my original industry (but the far end of it) around 50 years old. The old part of the industry changed and became obsolete for older workers. Within my new area of work, there are two sides to it (Say side A and side B). I have…
A coworker of mine is trying to get certified in a very advanced topic, through our company, and she's struggling with every aspect of the coursework. She has homework due for the cert class every week, and she's fallen behind. She reached out to me and asked if I would do the…

My boss calls me "Miss Angela." This is a sign of respect in the south for your elders. I am the only person she says this to. I am her elder by a considerable margin, but isn't that age discrimination?
Just gave birth two weeks ago and received an email that everyone from our company has been furloughed. There is extremely limited information and leadership has not talked to the staff directly since the news came out unless people have reached out to them first. I was approved…
Currently I am 5.5 months pregnant but just started a new job in NYC in July. I signed my contract in June but the company was not ready with paperwork to bring me on early (public company). I just saw that I was denied 3 months leave. I understand I don't deserve the company's 6…
