Dear HR Professionals,

Are your companies open to hiring candidates with a 1-year career gap? I’ve cleared several interviews but faced rejections late in the process—often without clarity. If the gap is a concern, shouldn't it be addressed earlier?

What tips would you suggest to improve chances—resume advice, certifications, or interview strategies? Your insights are appreciated! Please comment or DM.

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines?

I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.
