If you're not getting any response at all, rework your resume. Have someone take a look at it. Run it through AI to check for improvements, use jet words that systems are looking for, and ask for examples of metrics you can add to improve it. If you're getting initial responses but nothing after the interview, practice interviewing! All together, keep trying. It's tough out there.

This would be my suggestion too.

I suppose all you can do is keep trying. The job market can be really dead lately, it feels like a lot of companies are wary of doing any hiring. But you can still switch up your approach. Rewrite your resume, broaden your job search, haunt the careers section of company web sites. Just hang in, persistence is always important.

Just follow up with the recruiting department or office manager at the company. Send them a follow up email or call them. Remember you have to make yourself known and seen. Companies receive over 200 resumes a day.

Anyone know what the salary band for a senior resource manager is?

I’m scared I’ll end up being alone. I’ve truly enjoyed being single all this time but as time passes by, I keep thinking to myself that something must be wrong with me that I’m not in a relationship. I also don’t feel confident being on dating apps since I gained weight during the pandemic (about 30 lbs). I’m holding off on dating until I get into better shape but I’ll be 27 by then and I feel like I’ll be too old to put myself out there.

I’m 3 months into a new job where I work for a global tech company, and I want to ask for a pay review from my manager at the 6 month mark when I pass probation.
I know I’m going above and beyond my responsibilities as I’m not just managing projects, but I’ve also set up a global PMO governance board and have identified gaps within other teams where I’m assisting with the solution.

Is it acceptable for me to be asking this from my manager, and if so how do I raise this?

How do you keep up/in touch with your network?

If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?

Help,I started a new career n the events industry and I think I have to quit! The person I report to is so disorganized and there are no other managers in the office to direct day to day operations of our department. On day 2 I was asked to go to a job site and perform a 12 hour day without any training, safety equipment or tools. On day 3 I was asked back to site to do general labor! I ended cutting my hand on an exacto knife and there was no first aid! Is this normal?

I’ve been an Admin Assistant for 5 years with the last 2 in a government. I have worked hard to get here thinking this is what I wanted. Now that I’m here, making 40k CAD/yr. I feel like I’ve hit a glass ceiling and I’m desperate for more money and responsibilities - my job is way too easy. But not many opportunities for growth. Any suggestions on where to go from here?
