I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

Though I’m mostly sworn off posting here now, these #jobinterview tips for introverts are too good not to share. Show your self-reflection skills as a strength, share your thought process, and ‘own your fabulousness’. Thanks, @CaffeinatedKyle. #JobSeekers forbes.com/sites/forbesco…

Your resume is a marketing document. It highlights your best traits and expertise for your immediate #career goal. It positions you as a ‘product’ in the eyes of ‘buyers’ i.e. hiring managers. #careeradvice #resumeadvice In other words, follow @ShelleyPiedmont’s sequence below.

Great #jobsearching tips, especially to network, ask for support and “first things first, lose the pyjamas!”.

The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write. In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text. The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

There’s no more difficult word to spell in the English language than ‘zhuzh’. It makes ‘tchotchke’ seem like ‘cat’ by comparison. #zhuzhitup #noitsnotyiddish

Fun fact: the word most frequently found in resumes - ‘responsible’ - is also the word that’s the biggest waste of space. Resumes should list accomplishments, not job descriptions. #ResumeTips #jobsearching #career

"Colleges and universities can use their influence to pressure employers to end unpaid #internships". Hooray! But look in the mirror, too: it's wrong for schools to charge students for college credits earned from internships. @payourinterns #interns realcleareducation.com/articles/2022/…

Here’s 1st-class advice for how to build a professional network on @LinkedIn from a cold start, i.e. no network to begin with. Takes time and effort, but most things worth achieving are like that. It’s simple: help others before you can expect them to help you. #networking career

Odd to say, but the most important part of your #JobSearching prep might be your choice of a file name for your resume. A generic resume.pdf might cost you the interview if the recruiter liked your resume but can’t find it later. #JobSearch

Red sky in morning, sailors take warning. “Concerns about a potential downturn are reaching the youngest people in the workforce: 86% of college #interns believe a recession is on the horizon, according to a @GoldmanSachs global #internship survey.” cnbc.com/2022/10/12/gol…

RT @Adam_Karpiak Almost all my resume feedback centers on “ok but what did you actually do here?” & “ok what was the result of doing that?” Don’t assume the reader sees the relevance & understands your value. Show them. Get the context out of your head and onto the document.

The workplace has changed forever with work-from-home skyrocketing during COVID. But some employers aren’t yet comfortable with that reality. Great tips here for how to navigate the new landscape if you prefer to work mostly at home. #WFH #WorkFromHome #WorkFromHomeNews

Just a reminder that verbal job offers aren’t binding. Do NOT: 1) Give notice 2) Stop interviewing with other companies 3) Let a company check references at your current employer Protect your paycheck: 1) Get the offer letter 2) Clear the background check 3) Give notice

Precedent is a poor reason for decisions. It calcifies the status quo without a compelling rationale. It doesn’t matter how long a tradition has stood. If the old way is wrong, it should be challenged and changed. Progress lies in improving the future, not defending the past.
