"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

I have twice, after being told the company had more people to interview, told the interviewer that they didn't need to talk to anyone else because they had already found the best candidate. I got both jobs.
Asking for a raise can be intimidating, but it's a crucial part of managing your career. Here's a quick guide to approaching the conversation with confidence.
1. Do Your Research Don't walk into the meeting without knowing your worth. Use sites like Glassdoor, Payscale, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics to find salary data for your role, industry, and location. This will give you a solid number to anchor your request.
2. Track Your Accomplishments Compile a list of your wins. This isn't just about daily tasks; it's about the projects you led, the problems you solved, and the value you added. Quantify your impact with numbers whenever possible. For example, "increased customer retention by 15%" or "reduced project costs by $10,000."
3. Time It Right The best time to ask for a raise is when you're most valuable to the company. This could be after successfully completing a major project, during a positive performance review, or when your company has had a successful quarter. Avoid asking when the company is facing financial challenges or during a high-stress period.
4. Practice the Conversation Rehearse what you'll say. Be direct, professional, and confident. Start by expressing your enthusiasm for your work and the company, then present your case using the data you've gathered. Be prepared to negotiate.
Remember: A pay raise isn't just a request; it's a business proposal. By presenting a well-researched, data-driven case, you'll show your employer that you're a valuable asset who is serious about their career.

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.
