If you're not getting replies, my first spot of advice would be to have someone take a look at your resume. Happy to take a look if you'd like.

Hire a resume writer and start networking with recruiters at the companies you’re applying to until you’re ready to pull your hair out. In this job market, the most efficient way to get a new role is to know someone on the inside. You don’t need to know them well, just start a dialogue to give yourself a chance to impress them and make them want to pull your resume.

I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks
