We've all been there.

We made a promise to a client or boss that a deliverable would go out at a certain time, but life happened and now it's past end of day and you're still not done.

What do you do?

If you would've asked me a few years ago, I would've said to put your nose to the grindstone and pull out all the stops you need to in order to get it over the line. And for some pieces of work this may be necessary.

However, one of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that if it can wait until 8 PM, it can wait until 8 AM. What this means is you're better off taking that time to recharge and attack the task the next morning, then burn yourself out delivering something that likely won't be looked at until lunchtime anyways.

This is a little friendly reminder to help improve your confidence and awareness heading into your next job #interview !

You are being interviewed by the hiring company, yes. AND YOU ARE INTERVIEWING THEM, TOO!

Candidates often forget that their decision to join a new company and take a new job can be a big deal. You want to be sure the fit is right on both sides to ensure long term success and happiness at work. Every job interview should feel like and BE a 2-way experience with opportunities to interact with employees, ask questions, and get to know the company. #jobsearch #careeradvice #motivation

Hi! I am 59 years old, and searching for work in the Sacramento, CA. area. I recently re-located from San Jose because my Fiancé wanted to remain close to her family. Her mother just purchased a home in Fair Oaks. I have background in many areas, yet REALLY desire to upgrade my Autocad skills, actually desire Solidworks training. My issue with this is that I still owe for student loans from many years ago, and am unable to obtain financial aid as a result. I have worked in engineering for many years as an Autocad Drafter, yet it has been over 20 years since working in that capacity. Any assistance and positive suggestions are appreciated #jobsearch #careeradvice

Office Supervisor at Montefiore Medical Center

Eleana: It has also happened to me. At the end of every year raises should be given. But they changed that process in secret! We all need it as the cost of living increases. Company executives give themselves raises and bonuses every year!

My experience has been to transition to a results oriented pay rather than a weekly or hourly pay basis.

Have you realized that you may be a bit overqualified at your current job? Here are some tips to help you through.

  1. Ask for more responsibilities
    There's nothing worse than feeling bored at work. Ask your manager or supervisor for additional duties or responsibilities. You may be surprised with what you are offered to take on! This could help you add some excitement into your days AND give you some resume-boosting experience.

  2. Extend a helping hand to fellow coworkers
    If you notice that a coworker is always frazzled and overwhelmed with too many tasks, see if you can help out. You may be able to work on new projects and even learn a new skill or two.

  3. Network, network, network
    Never underestimate the power of making connections. Networking with others - those inside your company, clients, friends of friends, etc. - can help you gain insights into other industries and positions that could help you down the line! You never know who you may meet, you could unwittingly make a career-changing connection!

For anyone that is actually looking for employment,try U-Haul. They are always looking. A lot of the work may be part time but you can work at a few locations part time getting at least 40 hours. #careeradvice #parttime #nationwideusa #hiring #retail

I would love to find a job, from home, make my own hours. I have Multiple Sclerosis and need something that I can set my own hours due to sickness at times. I worked all my life. I worked for the State of California and did medical billing, working as a legal typist and worked as a book keeper for realty offices. All I can find is stuff like surveys (which pay next to nothing) or play games. Too old for games and the surveys take forever for .50. I am so tired of not being able to find something to help me. #advice #healthcare #disabled #careeradvice #legal #help
