It’s eight o’clock at night on a nice summer day. Your kid wants to shoot some hoops with you in the driveway. Your spouse wants to take a nice walk. You’re only about 10 pages into that book you’ve been meaning to read and you still haven’t watched the last season of Game of Thrones….
You had a bad experience at your last job. Your boss was less than pleasant. The company screwed you out of some severance. You never agreed with their strategic direction. Sidle up next to you at a bar, and you could rant for hours about that lousy job and the lousy company you worked for….
After a tedious application process and a series of grueling interviews, you’ve finally gotten that job offer. You should be elated. However, there’s a problem: the salary. The money part of the compensation package just doesn’t live up to your expectations. Now, you’ve got a quandary. Should you settle for the lower salary or turn…
An interview has a lot in common with a performance. You might as well get on stage and sing. After all, an interview happens live, with no cuts or redos. It includes an audience. And, it involves the serious threat of humiliation if things go wrong. So, given that the process so closely resembles a…
It feels like starting over. It’s like you’re a kid again, entering the workforce for the first time. Your muscles may feel creakier and now you head to bed by 9 PM, but otherwise, getting back into the workforce after some time off can spark flashbacks to that earlier time, when you went searching for…
You probably hear the phrase “moving your career forward” a lot. Usually, the “move” part of that is just a metaphor. But, sometimes reaching your full potential sometimes requires something more literal … like an actual move. But relocating can be an intimidating process. Not only are you taking on a new job (already a…
When you’re out of work and checking the job sites every day, you exhaust the new postings pretty quickly. Eventually, you to start those desperate clicks to the second page and beyond … ads that potentially haven’t been seen by human eyes in weeks. Land of the stale posting. Are those jobs even open anymore?…
Once you score an interview, you can turn on the charm. You can react to the ebb and flow of conversation. You can engage with the people making the hiring decisions on a personal level. However, you can’t do any of that if you can’t get in the room. Without a stellar resume, you’ll never…
You thought you did everything right. You micro-targeted your resume to impress this company. The interview allowed you to present yourself at your most impressive (and at your most charming, if you do say so yourself). But they picked someone else. And now you’re left staring into the void of rejection … an abyss of…
You’ve had a bad stretch – the professional equivalent of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Except, it’s lasted longer than a day … it feels like you’ve been overwhelmed for as long as you can remember. And it’s starting to affect you. You’re tired. You’re irritable. You’re starting to spend…
