"Resume Tip" Are you Exaggerating your skills on your Resume?
I wouldn't do that if I were you!
For example! Describing yourself as the "best salesperson in America" or something similar is never a good addition to your resume. These sort of statements not only make you seem rather arrogant or lack integrity, they're also just a bit embarrassing and a sure way to convince recruiters or the hiring manager to add you to the 'no' pile. Instead, use real examples, that can be backed up, to impress your potential employer.
It is never a good idea! #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

Gen Z Faces a Job Market “Double-Whammy”
New data reveals a stark reality for early-career professionals: in July 2025, 13.4% of unemployed Americans were “new labor force entrants”—individuals with no prior work experience, including recent high school and college graduates. That’s the highest share since 1988—a 37-year peak.
While the overall unemployment rate is just 4.2%, job seekers without experience are being hit hardest, amid employers’ hiring hesitations fueled by tariff-driven economic uncertainty—and a weakening pipeline of opportunities. For Gen Zers with disabilities, it is even worse.
