Dear Experts, I don’t like my boss very much. We get along in the office, but it’s purely professional because we couldn’t be more different. She’s recently divorced and I just found out she is going to be at the same Halloween party as me, dressed as a witch (FYI – very appropriate). I really want to go to this [...]
Dear Experts, I was at a networking event last night and someone I met told me she got her new job by sending out a personal newsletter to all her networking contacts. I’m fascinated by this idea, but don’t want to send out anything stupid. Do you have any ideas/resources on how to do this properly? Got a career question [...]
Dear Experts, I graduated this summer and still don’t have a job. Someone told me it’s a good idea to take some online classes to develop my skills. However, I’m broke! Are there any free courses that would be good to take online? Got a career question you’d like answered? Send it to twitter@careerealism.com along with your Twitter account name [...]
Dear Experts, This summer I got a DUI. Since then, I can’t get hired. What do you suggest – I’m living at home with my parents, have a degree, and feel like a complete failure.

By CAREEREALISM-Approved Expert, Karen Siwak I have yet to meet a client who doesn’t have at least one fascinating story to tell. Whether it’s the Administrative Assistant who pulled her boss’s ass out of the fire through some exceptional behind-the-scenes public relations work, or the Operations Executive who orchestrated a pre-dawn helicopter evacuation of his expat employees, it’s the stories [...]
Dear Experts, I’ve been at a new job for 2 months now and my back is killing me. The chair I have to sit in is so uncomfortable. I’ve asked for something different but my boss said nothing is available. I brought in a pillow to sit on and my boss seems mad, as if I’m being dramatic. I’ve never [...]
Dear Experts, My boss asked me to start taking some documents twice/week to a client. The drive is an hour each way. I take my own car. A friend said the company should be reimbursing me for gas and mileage because it’s for business. Is this true? Got a career question you’d like answered? Send it to twitter@careerealism.com along with [...]
By CAREEREALISM-Approved Expert, Melissa C. Martin I came across some notes from a sales course that I took a few years back. Sales and the job search have a natural commonality. Remember in your history class when you heard about the Klondike days? Searching for gold? It’s the same principle with “panning for gold” and job searching.
Dear Experts, I will be graduating this upcoming spring and am working on putting together a public relations/advertising portfolio. Do you have any advice/insight on what to include? Got a career question you’d like answered? Send it to twitter@careerealism.com along with your Twitter account name (you must use Twitter for us to post your question).
Dear Experts, A few months back I applied for my dream position. I managed to get through several rounds of interviews and was told I was 1 of 2 final candidates. A week later they called to tell me the position was being “reconsidered” and they were not going to hire for it. I was disappointed but exchanged pleasant e-mails [...]
