How do I let employers know I've been taking online courses (that are certified) to keep up with the times? I've been unemployed for a year but out of my main field for over 15 years. I know I'm not going back into my field (marketing), but I need to let employers know I'm staying current.

I made a section on my resume for professional development courses like that. Very smart to show you are putting in the effort to be up to speed. I’d also consider noting it in cover letters to give more information about it.

Attention employers: when posting for a job position, please put the pay so it does not waste my time or yours. If I don’t want nothing less than $15 an hour I’m not gonna bother applying and you shouldn’t worry about a whole bunch of people sending in applications. It would help you pick someone better and faster. And also if you do interview someone, please email them or call them out of respect and say thank you for coming in, but we went with someone else or you do get the job. Us employees would like some respect as well as the employers would like it too

Hello! I work in change management and am assigned to an IT POM transformation. I’m still in my fact finding/change readiness analysis phase, but struggling with the senior leadership team. Does anyone have any lesson learned or best practices in eliciting feed back from senior leaders? think SVP and above? I thought about focus groups, but their time is limited. Also, survey response rate tends to be low for these guys. Any ideas???

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!

I just found out a new colleague was brought on at 20% higher salary than my current salary. (Have been w/ firm 1.5 years) She doesn’t have a 4-year degree (working on it). How do I bring this inequity up and ask to be compensated equally? I have years more experience and My work is more complex - she is basically a receptionist. Any suggestions would be helpful!
