If you’re designing to produce a product, you need to know how to design correctly to get that product produced, be it a large electrical sign, a small sign, a logo…..whatever. Figure out what kind of graphic design you want to do, then learn as much as you can about that niche. The more you know and the more innovative you can be, the more you will thrive!”

I volunteered to retire after 23 years as a professional flight attendant, operations/performance manager, and ticketing agent. Prior to working in aviation, I was employed as an assistant account manager and claims manager for two commercial insurance agencies. I have learned so much from those experiences.

The key is just to be a good person and not be a follower of trends just to fit in with the crowd because the crowd usually is not thinking smart. Go back to the good old principles of knowing what the company wants and knowing what you have to offer and how to present yourself as the only good choice for that company. Know your assets and be confident in them… Remember to keep the faith and put in some sincere effort to secure the job that you really want.”

Sauntia Cotman, connect and follow Sauntia here - Want to know how you can qualify for a Customer Service hiring opportunity? Sautina has some Awesome tips and strategies designed to help you get hired!
“Any job with customers including fast food would solidify you as an experienced customer service representative, however, if you don't have any prior experience with customers on another job you've worked you can always draw up a functional resume which highlights your skills instead of your experience. Many companies look for you to have at least one year of experience if you're not doing an entry-level position. Also, apply for ENTRY level customer service jobs which will have a high level of training and not expect you to know everything when you're joining the company.”

- “Oh, I feel you, Hiram. I ran into a similar situation...it's difficult to show your work in PM because of NDAs, etc. not to mention previous clients aren't thrilled at the idea of sharing information that they paid for.

Heather Dunne, follow and connect with Heather here - Do you feel like you are being ghosted by an employer? Check out Heather’s application follow-up strategy…
- “Go back in, show your face, ask about the status of your application, ask to speak to a team lead, and ask if they pulled your application.

After they interview you they send any correspondence through your Workday application profile, including job offers. Make sure all your information is correct. If you want to work there you really have to be proactive.

Do not make excuses or explain if you are not asked, be confident. Hope this will help you.”

David Pavlik, connect with David here - David recently responded to a member question about the biggest challenge of an Operations Manager job.
