I'm still unemployed," Jolles told Business Insider. AdvertisementIn any case, Jolles, who describes himself as an "older" tech worker, felt depleted by the job search in California. Averett believed the position wasn't a good fit for her, but she also knew from her experience in HR how tough a job search could be. As someone who works in HR, she gets what it's like to be inundated with applications from job seekers like her. Given how fruitless his job search has been, Cash plans to soon give it up.

Read previewLate Thursday morning, Donald Trump lost his last state-level appeal of his hush-money gag order. These two new legal losses now leave the door open for Trump to run to the US Supreme Court, according to constitutional law expert Michel Paradis. New York CourtsBoth losses are eligible under federal statute for Trump to seek Supreme Court review, also known as petitioning for "certiorari," or "cert" for short.

AdvertisementAnd because Trump is Trump — and because "the Supreme Court can basically do whatever it wants" — the former president will likely dream big, Paradis predicted.

Cash previously spoke to Business Insider about his approach to cover letters back when he'd applied for about 1,200 jobs. I've been spending less time in front of my computer these days because I'm almost up to 2,200 job applications. Almost inevitably, when I'm driving someone, the question comes up, "Do you do this full time?" Immediately, I was like, "Oh, my God, I've probably applied there a dozen times in the last year or two." I recently had three people in my car from another top consultancy that I've applied to a handful of times.

AdvertisementMany job seekers believe that including extra detail will help show off their qualifications to employers. But, Mann said, employers have specifics they're seeking on a résumé — often what's outlined in the job description. AdvertisementShe recommends job seekers use distinct sections to help make their résumé easy to read. For people applying for roles with quantifiable results — like sales or marketing — it can be wise to then include a section on career accomplishments. "It's the average of all the resources that are out there, so it creates these incredibly generic résumés," Mann said.

Two days before his sentencing, Trump, they predict, will seek something never before allowed in the appellate courts in New York or in most states for that matter: an interlocutory appeal. AdvertisementEven Trump's Manhattan prosecutors are conceding that this is a legal monkey wrench to be reckoned with. "If New York's courts deny him a right to appeal, he can challenge the decision in federal court," said Paradis. If the federal district court in Manhattan says no, "he can appeal that to the second circuit federal court of appeals." This story has been updated to reflect Trump's federal court efforts, from August 29 to September 4, to further delay sentencing.

The group was asked to share which topics they're most focused on between AI, worker well-being, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and C-suite transformation. While worker well-being and AI were the most commonly cited trends, there's clear overlap and intersectionality across all four topics. 'We're trying to understand a more holistic view of worker well-being'Shane Koller, senior vice president and chief people officer, AncestryThe two topics we're most focused on are worker well-being and DEI.

AdvertisementMissy Scalise has begun using AI to cut down on the amount of work she has to do after hours. In 2023, the World Economic Forum reported that employers expected 44% of workers' skills to be "disrupted" within five years. Another challenge with inserting AI into an organization is that it's often difficult to tell which skills workers possess and where they might need training. Charlotte Relyea, a senior partner at McKinsey & Co., believes that leaders need to plan now so they can better forecast the abilities workers will need. Leaders need to think about this as a transformation — what she described as "painting the picture of the future."

We tend to wind ourselves up about differences among boomers, millennials, and Gen Zers — sorry, Gen X, forgot to include you — even though many of the distinctions are made up. AdvertisementIt's easy to point to young workers and say they're no good at their jobs because, of course, they're often not as experienced as those doing the criticizing. "Mentorship will be huge with this generation," Toothacre said. So, some young workers' desire to focus more on their mental health and well-being could rankle some older workers and fuel why-didn't-I-think-of-that resentments. We're seeing less of them prioritize work, especially if they're not treated well," she said.

"He was my best friend," Salemi told Business Insider. Salemi isn't alone in having a résumé where the end of one job doesn't align neatly with the start of the next. The pandemic poked holes in workThe trick to dealing with résumé gaps is to have an explanation, career experts told BI. Julia Toothacre, chief career strategist at ResumeTemplates.com, told BI that her advice on résumé gaps is far different from what she would have said a decade ago. Salemi, from Monster, said in her experience more job seekers have gaps than don't.

Courtesy Peter MontgomeryThat ability to make a career conform, where possible, to an employee's life is one of the simple and often inexpensive ways employers can boost their employees' well-being. AdvertisementA recent Gallup survey found worker well-being slipped globally to 34% in 2023 from 35% the year before. Boosting worker well-being is good for employees, of course, but it's also good for the bottom line. And it's critical for boosting other measures of corporate and worker health — things like engagement on the job. A small number of business leaders review requests to keep the process simple and to respect worker privacy, she said.

It's a troubling thought, to be sure, but a longer workweek is already a reality for some workers. AdvertisementIt's the kind of thing that could make an employer less inclined to try something new — like a four-day workweek. Yet even without lackluster sales, Cappelli said, the four-day workweek was already unlikely to be widely adopted in the US. But, at the same time, Cappelli also doesn't think companies will push workers to come in on a sixth day. If companies use economic worries to reverse course on efforts like flexible work arrangements or to conduct layoffs, they put their own well-being at risk.

There's a good chance the calendar you might have scrubbed clean months ago is again overgrown with meetings. Data from the calendar management company Clockwise shows that time in meetings tends to go up as the year rolls on. Tidying up your calendar can boost your productivity and overall well-being — plus, it can save your employer a boatload of money. Inside many organizations, workers' time has become compromised, Martin said. Advertisement"There's always something on there — like the meeting that's been rescheduled four times.

Turn to your network for helpOutside of seeing how you might help others, there are other steps you can take if you're newly unemployed. Schielke said it's important to have a sounding board to help you remain accountable for your next actions, especially as getting laid off can be a shock.

So it just seemed like I kept going up rung after rung after rung to another person and another person. As the interviews continued, they seemed to be more like meet-and-greets than interviews. As you're going through the process, you're always looking to say, "Are we good? You have to look at who you're going to talk to and what their background is. I'm going back out there."

Business Insider checked in with four major firms — Boston Consulting Group, Ernst & Young, McKinsey, and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) — for insights into what they might be looking for in prospective employees. AdvertisementWhat kinds of roles are consulting firms hiring for? Consulting firms often hire for a range of positions. Rod Adams, talent acquisition and onboarding leader at PwC, told BI that the company is hiring consultants, engineers, accountants, and tax professionals, among other roles. Consulting firms often say there isn't one specific background or set of skills they look for.

Yet, it's often hard to tell how an interview process might unfold. But now, even the interview process for getting something like a six-month assignment has proven difficult, Kilgore said. "Now, there's an assessment or multiple assessments, a self-conducted video interview where you speak to a robot via webcam, then a phone-screening interview, then some kind of in-person interview, and then an interview where you meet the senior management," the person wrote. Schielke recounted one interview she participated in where there was the candidate and then 15 people on the other side. She added that some job seekers need to reset their expectations after several years in which they were calling the shots.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with an Amazon employee who sought to go on medical leave because of a stressful situation that developed with their manager. I got a sense that my manager was potentially going to put me in Focus because of how they were berating me. The entire FMLA process was a hurdle for me. AdvertisementI later heard from my manager while I was on FMLA, and they informed me that I had been put on Focus. To suggest we use our performance management process to drive any other outcome, such as reducing our employee base, is wrong.
