"Interview Tip"
Some interview answers can end your chances on the spot.
“I want to start my own business someday.” Sounds ambitious, but employers hear: “I’m already planning my exit.”
Instead: Frame your ambition as leadership growth within the company.
“I value work-life balance and self-care.” Important, yes — but if it’s your top priority, it can come off as lack of drive.
Instead: Balance well-being with goals like growth, excellence, and teamwork.
“I was let go in recent layoffs.” True, but incomplete. Employers may wonder why you weren’t retained.
Instead: Add context and show what you learned — e.g., reskilling and adaptability.
The key: Every answer should show you’re ready to be here, grow here, and win here. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

It’s the toughest time in years to be searching for work in America.
Recent data shows:
Unemployment climbed to 4.3%, the highest since late 2021.
Job growth has slowed for the fourth straight month.
Employers are cutting payrolls, leaning on AI, and holding back on new hires.
Sectors hit hardest: manufacturing, mining, IT, business services, retail, and hospitality.
While the broader economy hasn’t tipped into recession and markets remain strong, job seekers are facing shrinking opportunities and steeper competition. So be strong, be persistent, and don't give up! #AWU #disability #jobs

"Resume Tip" Is your Resume Impactful?
An effective resume shows – not tells – how you add value. Yes, you need to list your responsibilities, but you also need to show what happened because you were there. In other words, call out your impact. For example, if you are responsible for recruiting and hiring and you would say it is one of your key strengths, include how many people you hired, how quickly you made those hires, and how many of your hires have outlasted the average tenure of your firm or your industry. Just saying! #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips
