Careers Now--Joyce Lain Kennedy Samples
Sherlocking startups and other small firms
DEAR JOYCE: Management lied to me about the company's financial stability when I took a new job in a startup. The upside is that you could have squandered many more months in that fiasco.
Is your old employer better the second time?
DEAR JOYCE: A former co-worker gave me a heads-up that I'm going to be invited to rejoin a company that laid me off. The big plus factors for your old employer are that you're tried and true.
New job guide for mobile military spouses
DEAR JOYCE: My husband, who is in the military, and I, a stay-at-home mom, are moving several states away, but this time I hope to find a job and resume my career. The short answer: Figure out how to work remotely in your field.
Practical advice for first-time job holders
DEAR JOYCE: I am graduating with a bachelor's degree this year and have a 2.75 GPA. Apparently you did not immediately take your internship problems to your college's internship coordinator.
No easy way to keep resume off radar
DEAR JOYCE: I like my job, but I want to apply to a posting for a similar position that offers more pay and less traveling. I don't think so.
Boss orders pay cut or goodbye
DEAR JOYCE: The company where my daughter is employed told its production workforce that they would either take a pay cut or be fired and replaced with people who will work for less. Yes, with exceptions.
