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

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
