"Interview Tip"
Researching the company your interviewing with should go without saying. However, I want to remind you how important it is.
Never approach a company for an interview or confirmation without researching it. You need to become intimate with their website. Pay special attention to company news, quarterly, and annual reports, and investor information
Look up the company on Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and other forms of social media so you have a better idea of where you're headed. Interacting or contacting current or previous employees can also be helpful because you'll know how to appease the hiring employers. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtip
“Do you believe giving a 2-week notice is still the right thing to do, even if there’s a risk it could backfire—like getting let go immediately or being treated differently? Have you ever been in that situation, and how did it play out for you?”

"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.

"Interview Tip" Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication plays a huge role in job interviews—sometimes even more than what you say.
According to recent research covered by Newsweek, appearing anxious can inadvertently undermine your chances, even when you're saying all the right things.
But here’s the good news: anxiety doesn’t have to be your downfall. Holistic coach Jacquie Wilkinson (with 25 years of experience) shares practical strategies to help you present as calm, confident, and professional.
Some techniques include:
Deep breathing (e.g., the 4-7-8 method): inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, then exhale for 8, all while seated upright.
Visualization: mentally rehearse entering into the interview feeling composed and in control.
“Anchor thoughts”: a simple, repeated phrase like “I am calm, open, and present” helps steady your mindset.
Mirror drills: practice speaking in front of a mirror to notice and soften expressions like furrowed brows or tight lips if at all possible.
Do your best to control micro expressions if you possibly can. Fleeting facial glimpses—can influence how others perceive your emotional state. For some controlling facial glimpses is very difficult or impossible. Do your best to manage your inner calm first, positive signals naturally follow.
Why This Matters:
Smiling—when timing is right if you can—can build trust and warmth. Neutral expressions that convey poise often outperform anxiousness. Preparing both your answers and your emotional presence can give you a powerful edge.
Call to Action:
Next time you rehearse for an interview, don’t just practice your responses—also practice your presence. It may help. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips
