There's a lot of negativity out there about the job market, and I get it, because it's a tough time. I've seen clients in different industries lose their jobs, particularly within the federal government, contracting, and international development communities. Yet, we are also se
Not every job application requires a cover letter. So, should you bother writing one? If the vacancy announcement doesn't say, "please do not submit a cover letter," I recommend that you do. This is because not everyone will, and if you're one of the few who submit a good one, well, you're
More and more people are considering venturing out on their own. It offers flexibility and the opportunity to be your own boss. When you consider about whether to go for it, you’re probably thinking: Do I have the right expertise to do this? Can I risk an extended period of financial
How should I let LinkedIn know about my status? Change your settings to “open to: finding a new job” and select “recruiters only.” Recruiters will be able to find you more easily. When you make this selection, your profile will be visible to recruiters who have access to LinkedIn Recruiter, which

When training people for interviews, I often notice three things. You need a focus for the first interview. You don’t need to have all your questions answered in the first round. Ask only questions that demonstrate a strong interest in the role and company. You can as

Interviewing is rough. Preparing ahead of time is the key to success. Here is some guidance based on a recent interview experience that led to a job offer! This job seeker reviewed the company website and used ChatGPT, pasting the job description and their resume (with personal in
Right now, it feels like the only certain thing about America’s job market is its total uncertainty. Rapid-fire changes out of Washington, D.C. are hitting federal and international development workers and any organization that relies on federal funding hard – really hard. Meanwhile, the j
I looked back at this past season's episodes of Career B*tches to come up with a few must listens (though it was hard to choose because there was so much wisdom throughout!) These three episodes are timely and speak to a large audience, so if you haven't listened to these, give it a go.
For the past few weeks, we've been seeing companies require people to return to the office, and just last week, the termination of government telework agreements. In addition, both companies and the government have withdrawn or significantly reduced diversity, equity, and inclusion programs
I see a lot of resumes, typically those of mid- to senior-level professionals from numerous industries. My most common takeaway from their resumes: “Your resume doesn’t do you justice.” If you want to get close to or at the C-suite level, it’s not enough to list your accomplishments. Even though y

I first heard Joe O’Connor , CEO and Co-founder of Work Time Reduction, on a Forbes panel called “Beyond Burnout Band-Aids” and found what he had to say about the relationship between well-being and productivity enlightening. I asked him to speak with me about his work. Joe defines burnout as exha
Some people hate it, some people love it, and others ignore it. But there’s no doubt about it: LinkedIn is number one among professional networking platforms.

I recently read McKinsey’s Women in the Workplace 2024 report and was surprised at how little progress has been made in terms of women’s advancement in the workplace. I really shouldn’t be shocked given the statistics that came out during the pandemic about how so many women exited the workforce f
