Giving Up Too Easily
Ultimately, it's important to remember that job hunting isn't as easy or simple as it looks. Most people lose motivation when they don't get a callback from the companies they applied to; it's a very natural, albeit tough part of finding the right role. Take your time, polish your skills, expand your job title search, and remember that it has been said by many that "it is a full time job to get a full time job". Above all, don't lose hope.

"Job Descriptions"
Buzz Words Caution! "We are like Family"
While this phrase is meant to suggest a collaborative, supportive work environment, it can also be a warning sign that the company expects employees to go above and beyond without additional pay or clear boundaries. This phrase is a red flag for all kinds of blurred boundaries, including an "unspoken pressure to prioritize the company over yourself." #AWU #disability #jobs

"Job Search Tip"
Are you Overly Selective in your Job Search? Job seekers who limit themselves to specific titles or industries may struggle to secure opportunities. Employers value adaptability, and overlooking roles that provide transferable skills can prolong the job search.
Expanding job criteria, considering remote or contract work, and balancing aspirations with practicality can improve prospects. By remaining flexible and open-minded, candidates can increase their chances of finding meaningful work while advancing toward their long-term goals.
You should apply even if you meet only about 50% of the listed requirements, especially if the role excites you and aligns with your long-term goals.
Here’s why:
The “Standard” Is More Flexible Than You Think Job descriptions are wish lists, not checklists. Employers often describe their ideal candidate, knowing that few applicants will meet every bullet point.
According to the Harvard Business Review, men typically apply when they meet just 60% of the qualifications, while women often wait until they meet 100%. That gap isn’t about ability—it’s about perception.
Some experts, like those cited in Forbs suggest that meeting even 40% of the requirements can be enough if you bring enthusiasm, adaptability, and a willingness to learn.
What to Focus On Instead Highlight transferable skills: Communication, problem-solving, leadership—these often matter more than niche tools or systems.
Tailor your resume: Mirror the language of the job posting to show alignment, even if your experience comes from a different context.
Show growth mindset: Mention certifications you're pursuing (like your Excel exam!) or projects that demonstrate initiative. #AWU #disability #jobsearchtip

"Resume Tip"
How to Address Career Gaps on Your Resume
• Many job seekers feel the need to hide career gaps, but experts warn this strategy can backfire, as nearly half of American workers have taken a break from work.
• The stigma around career gaps persists, stemming from a time when long-term employment at one company was the norm.
• Hiding a career gap is often more damaging than addressing it honestly, and employers prefer transparency, even with issues like criminal history.
• Candidates should own the narrative of their career gap by focusing on what they learned or accomplished during the time away, and be future-oriented.
• Proactively addressing the gap on a resume and in interviews, with a brief and confident explanation, is crucial for a positive impression.

"Interview Tip"
Mock interviews are a must before the real one.
You know that saying "Practice, practice, practice."
The same goes for nailing a great job interview. It can take some practice and at least one or two run-throughs with your camera at your desk (or kitchen table) to ensure you portray the most professional version of yourself. After all, a good first impression is vital.
You can practice with a friend by setting up a Zoom session and sitting exactly where you will for the real interview. When you are on the call, scan the background to ensure everything looks neat and tidy.
Yes, you can use one of those blurred backgrounds as a last resort, but it might be distracting to the person who is interviewing you.
While you are practicing for the real interview, have your friend ask some common interview questions to help make the interview process go even smoother. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips
