- Do I have to change my résumé to hide or mask the length of my career?
- What can I say in a résumé/cover letter to convey both experience and willingness to learn/adapt to a new work environment?
- The job application asks for my previous salary. If the new position pays less than this amount, am I automatically disqualified? How should I navigate the salary issue during the interview?
- What is the best response when an employer says this during the interview: “We don’t normally hire people with your level of experience for this position.”
- What am I communicating (verbally or nonverbally) during the job interview that may be working against me?
