With the current political climate, I’ve noticed a few big brands (like Southwest and Walmart) recently scrapping their DEI programs. I’m curious, is this a return to the old days when diverse directors were only allowed to work in niche markets? It seems like white directors can do both general market and niche market work, while diverse directors are limited to niche markets. I’m really interested in understanding this because the industry seemed to be trying to change…..

Hello,
I graduated with my MSN with an emphasis in health informatics last year and I am still having difficulty finding a job. Everyone is requiring 3+ years experience. I am currently working on getting my certification in hopes that will help. Any other ideas on where to look for jobs in this field with little to no experience outside school?

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well.

Is this a red flag?
