It has come to our attention that interview etiquette has gone stale. If it wasn’t already obvious, a poor interview is a 1-way ticket to an impending job search (and likely a long one if you lack interview etiquette). Interviews are like snowflakes – no two are the same. However, there are dos and don’ts that apply to all interviews and if carefully followed, could bring you success. […]
The idea of January can be so refreshing – a clean slate to pave the way toward a brighter future. People tend to think in a very “macro” way when referring to January, putting all of their eggs for the year into this small basket. Before you know it, it’s the 31st, you’ve promised yourself you’d kick it into gear the last 3 Monday’s and you ultimately wind-up feeling like you’ve already failed. That feeling will likely remain prevalent in February because, well, it’s February and the Spring is a better time to start anyway, right? We’re in a bad [...]
Employee engagement, or lack thereof, is becoming a major concern within the workforce. A 2022 Gallup survey of over 60,000 people found that only 32% of employees are engaged with their work, compared to 36% in 2020. Employees divulging their “active disengagement,” is an impending challenge and is often associated with an employee feeling undervalued or underappreciated. Disengagement does not happen overnight and employers (should they see fit) should expect to take stride in regaining the reignition of their employees. […]
Even the best routine can become monotonous, and there are only so many times you can sit with your cup of coffee on the same couch, watching the same show, before it loses its flare. Arguably the most common protest of working remotely is the seclusion it institutes, and employees are questioning whether their petition for remote work was worth dodging the bumper-to-bumper commute. If you’re feeling your routine has become stale and the perks of working remotely are slowly diminishing, you may need to switch things up. We’ve compiled a list of ways to [...]
Searching for new employment with the sole purpose of a pay increase may not be the best move – here’s why: […]
In many recruitment processes, employers narrow down the applicant pool before scheduling interviews by conducting phone screens. Not to be confused with a phone interview, phone screens occur after employers and hiring managers have reviewed resumes and cover letters. Typically, those who appear to be qualified for the position will be phone screened and potentially invited to schedule an interview thereafter. While it’s not an interview, it is a sign that you may be qualified for one or more available positions. […]

Luckily, you are not alone, almost everyone goes through this barrier! Here are a few tips that will help you remain a strong candidate, even with a lack of professional references. […]
“Sorry to bother you…”, “sorry for not getting back to you sooner”, “sorry I’m booked this week.” Why are we apologizing all the time? Over-apologizing can have a negative effect on not only your career but, more importantly, your self-esteem. Similar to the overuse of the words, “like/uhm” – “sorry” has become a common space filler within a conversation. According to Patrice Williams Lindo, CEO of Career Nomad, the incessant need to apologize comes from a place of insecurity and is especially common among women and people of color. One of the easiest ways to improve yourself is to make [...]
Despite concerning job cuts, recent reports suggest that the trend of workers having the upper hand in the labor market will continue into the new year.

Job seekers have their sights set on the total package, which includes enjoyment and fulfillment in their role, in addition to a hearty salary and benefits package. The name of the game: Adapt or Die. Here are a few trends to keep a lookout for in the coming year. According to Glassdoor and [...]
The “American Dream,” a phrase coined in 1931, in a best-selling book entitled Epic of America, remains a part of the American ethos nearly a century later. Author, James Truslow Adams described it as, “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” Is it a figment of our imagination, or is achievement in the hands of those willing to take the risk?
