You keep getting interviews, but why won’t anybody hire you?
The job search isn’t easy. You can submit 50 online job applications and never hear back from a single company.
But what do you do when you ARE getting interviews, but never progressing beyond the first or second round? Your resume isn’t the problem, so there must be something else holding you back.
We’ve got you covered. There can be plenty of reasons you aren’t getting the job offer. Let’s dig in. (more…)
What do you want?
Answering this question requires a bit of preparation.

Stay positive and dodge the drama.
Humans like to gossip. It’s fun to talk to your co-workers about managers that might be less-than-perfect, or project members that just aren’t carrying their weight. You get a certain buzz from feeling like you’re “in-the-know” on a juicy situation.
It’s something we all do. But there are plenty of reasons to minimize gossiping in the workplace, especially if you want to grow your career. Let’s dig in.
It isn’t impossible, but you have to be prepared.
Maybe you love to brew coffee. Perhaps embroidery is your favorite thing. It’s even possible you want to dedicate your life to raising alpacas.
Whatever your passion, if it results in a product or service, there’s someone out there making a living off it.
However, before you quit your job to paint or to open your own clothing boutique, there are a few things to keep in mind.
We’re excited to announce the season three launch of Express Employment Professionals’ On the Job Podcast with a brand-new episode!

Which one is right for you?
Job seekers frequently worry what their interviewer is thinking of them. They want to be perfect job candidates, ideal matches for the job description. They want to be liked, both as a person and as a prospective employee.
But job seekers must also consider whether the company they’re applying to is right for them. Even if you’re a perfect fit for the company, if the company isn’t a good fit for you, you probably won’t end up happy.
This is where culture comes in. Before you start interviewing, decide what your preferred company culture looks like. Do you want your co-workers to be a second family? Or is your job a place to get work done and get out? Let’s figure that out.
