“What pay range are you looking for from this role?”   What an awful question! Why would they even ask me that?   First, take a breath. I know questions like this seem wildly unfair, but lots of employers will ask such a thing because they want to make sure they aren’t wasting their time…

Surprises can really throw us for a loop. I recently got a summons for a grand jury starting in the fall. To call it a curve ball would be an understatement! Autumn is a busy time of year for me, and the need to carve out every Thursday for up to 12 months caused me…

Dealing with the Unexpected

Surprises can really throw us for a loop. I recently got a summons for a grand jury starting in the fall. To call it a curve ball would be an understatement! Autumn is a busy time of year for me, and the need to carve out every Thursday for up to 12 months caused me…

Why is the search taking so long?

It’s not your imagination.   The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that unemployed Americans are taking longer to find new jobs than at any point in the past four years, and I’m seeing much the same with unhappily or under-employed clients, as well. Lots of media outlets are saying the avera...

You didn't get the job. Now what?

You’ve been through the finalist interview, you like the people and they seem to like you, you’re gearing up to negotiate your salary offer… and they tell you they’ve gone with another candidate. Argh!   What should you do now?   Obviously it’s okay to be disappointed—even angry, sad, ...
