I found your blog while researching EA positions and I'm hooked! Great work on the blog, and thanks very much!” Good for you! :) I am so glad you found my blog and are hooked!

I also haven’t been growing or learning anything new since Day 1 because my boss won’t give me projects. It’s such a shame that there aren’t more managers who are good mentors that help each individual grow and learn more in their roles. You also have more negotiating leverage for a better salary and projects.

Aside from that, I use it for many reasons, but largely, I want to have my resume online so I can connect with people and have them learn about me should they so desire. Having on-going open discussions as soon as you come aboard helps navigate your role better and negotiate appropriately during your annual review.

“I love your blog and really appreciate your insights and advice. Thanks again for all your informative blogs!!! What did they learn? Your termination is more “in the past” than being the focal point of your resume because your first job description will be the temping stuff. How long do you think is fair?

I'm so glad I found your blog. If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. It also looks bad on one’s resume. I also thought about money, salary negotiation, and how I was spending my time. You mention you would stay if you had more work to do or you were learning more. Many thanks!

Some hard skills have a a learning curve that is understandable if the software is proprietary, etc.

This sounds like the generic stuff you put on your resume when you’re just out of college and don’t realize that your resume shouldn’t sound like everyone else’s, and also that everyone in the world is lying when they say they are “goals-oriented.” Melinda | SuperWAHM´s last blog.
