"Interview Tip"
A question NOT to ask at the end of your Interview!
Did I Get the Job?
Many people ask this question in jest, while others pose it genuinely. However, this question that can be perceived as presumptuous, unprofessional, and even insecure. Please refrain from asking it.
The interviewer may not be the final decision maker. What is fair to ask in my opinion is "Do I have your support"? If you ask this question, however, be prepared for the interviewer to give you a negative response or no response which is the same. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtip

"Job Search Tip"
Perform a Targeted Search
Targeting your search is essential. As an example if you are focusing on freelance work, you can target different keywords to expand your results.
In addition to using “freelance” as a search term, consider using other well-known terms, such as “contract work,” “independent contractor,” “1099 worker,” and “contract consultant.”
If you’re looking to move into an employee role again, “contract-to-hire” is also an option.
Similarly, if you are looking for remote work you can target keywords such "remote work", "work from home", "WFH", as another example. #jobsearchtips #AWU #disability #jobs
