In fact, Dawn Rasmussen, certified resume writer and president of Pathfinder Writing and Career Services, happily admits that “I love writing cover letter openings because I know how bad they usually are.” But that doesn’t mean your cover letter is destined for the slush […]

Many people see informational interviews as tricky. What are they for, really?

Not only can they inform your job hunt with insider information in a way that the internet sometimes just […]

Should I tell them my salary range? Do I want too much? Am I undervalued? Will the recruiter try to lowball me? Do my colleagues earn more than me? These are the questions that may be running through your mind when you think about negotiating your salary for a new job. However, there’s no need […]

From resume screening tools to Robot Vera, an AI-based software technology that helps recruit and hire humans, it’s safe to say that the robots have become a necessary evil that job seekers need to contend with.

We all have different filters through which we see the world that influence our attitudes and behaviors. One filter that is common to many is that of the “victim”.
