So your boss caught you looking for another job. Awkward... This is a great article compiling practical advice about how to handle this kind of potentially nerve-wracking scenario. Happy I got to contribute! First, sincerely apologize for being off-task and looking for another job on company time because they are paying you to work for them, not against them. But then square your shoulders back and ask if you could take this opportunity to discuss improving your job satisfaction and productivity. Suppose your employer values your work and wants to keep you. In that case, they will be curious enough to give you the time and attention to explore ways to extend your tenure by, for example, re-delegating tasks, increasing schedule or location flexibility, or negotiating a pay or title change (aka a raise or promotion). If your employer does not value you or your work, they may let you go on the spot, and that may be a blessing in disguise, giving you the freedom and motivation to find a more fulfilling job! #careercoach #careerchange #jobadvice #jobsearch https://lnkd.in/gspipf8s

Streamline your resume headline! And other tips below :)

Your personal brand is like your hair or nails. Everyone has them. You can't decide to not have them. If you ignore or neglect them, they will quickly become unruly and unsightly, distracting and detrimental to your reputation and all your interactions. If you regularly groom them and keep them updated to align with your desired image, they will create positive impressions and help you be more memorable with your target audiences. Some people do very well maintaining them on their own with their natural instincts. But sometimes you need help knowing HOW to groom them to best suit your needs and purposes. You go to a hairdresser or manicurist for professional help with hair and nails, respectively. You go to a career coach for help with your personal brand. Hi, that's me! I also have a bunch of free articles, webinars, and podcast episodes on personal branding on my website if you want to DIY it first... https://lnkd.in/g6WW9Ktc #careercoach #personalbranding

A very common mistake is starting resume bullets with “Responsible for…” which comes off as lazy and passive. Just because we are responsible for something doesn’t mean we did it well or even did it at all! I recommend just deleting that part and starting each bullet with the active verb. Avoid repeating the same verb at the beginning of bullets, especially within the same job. Having a good variety of verbs demonstrates diversity of skills and accomplishments. #careercoach #resumetips #commonmistakes https://lnkd.in/gbHH6pB3
