“When the economy started to tank and my investments started to dwindle…I started to get pretty nervous,” said DiPastena, who lives in Phoenix. But once the pandemic lockdowns were in full swing, that work quickly dried up. DiPastena decided the best way to weather the storm was to return to work. He started a new full-time position as a product specialist in June, in a completely different field than his previous career. “I feel like I can replenish my savings and…ultimately have more savings than I anticipated.”The pandemic prompted a wave of workers to retire.

You’re in the middle of a job interview, a question comes your way and you’ve got… nothing. Even if you’ve prepared for hours, a question can come out of the blue and leave you stumped. Interviewers are going to want to hear about how you’ve handled tough situations or problems in your previous roles. “You can say: ‘That’s a great question, let me think about that for a second,’ look up and around and gather your thoughts,” said Ruggiero. “Repeat the question back to the hiring manager: ‘Now let me get this straight: Are you asking XXXX?’” said Skirboll.

To evaluate whether to take on a task, Vesterlund advised identifying what is considered promotable and non-promotable work for a role and how much workers are expected to take on. Babcock said her research shows that when women say “no” at work, they are often seen as not being a team player. It shouldn’t be on employees to say ‘no’But the onus shouldn’t just be on employees when it comes to making sure non-promotable work is being distributed evenly. “You can reward non-promotable work,” said Babcock, who noted that one organization she worked with added “helping others” to its performance evaluations. And then it’s amazing everyone wants to do it then.”Companies should also look at who is doing the most non-promotable work and how work is allocated.

But if you’re a recent graduate who doesn’t have a lot of work experience, who do you ask? While your resume already shows your work history, a reference can confirm your skills and experience and reveal more about you. But don’t wait until you’re asked to think of potential names. The good news is your list of potential references isn’t limited to relevant job history. So list them in order of your preferences.”Just remember agreeing to be a reference right now isn’t a blanket yes for all future job searches, noted Robinson.
