    September is Self-Care Awareness Month. We sometimes think of self-care as trivial like a bubble bath, or extravagant like a weekend at a spa. In truth, self-care is the accumulation of moments where we provide ourselves with what we need & what we deserve.

    Starting a job post with questions is not a good approach because most of the time, those questions are dumb. Are you a team player? Are you passionate about truck tires? Just write the truth about what the candidate is going to do every day and get on with it.

    If you're still buying email lists, little tip. The whole "great reshuffle" means those lists that the media companies swear are "work only" are probably trash.

    I realize this is Twitter so generic, careless advice is kinda the vibe BUT it's really okay to not give advice on something you are not an expert in. You always have the option to be quiet, even if that tweet button is staring you in the face.

    This is the job post equivalent of a hiring manager saying "jump" and when the candidate asks how high? They say "the sun." This is someone's life. Have the decency to be honest and please learn how to write a damn job posting. Even if you don't learn it from me.

    I asked LinkedIn HR Pros what they wished they knew before starting their careers. Find out what they had to say.

    I feel weird when people call pronouns a "hot topic." Like... this isn't a hot take on some strategy, this is just basic human decency. In fairness, it does seem that decency is a highly debated topic as of late.

    Why isn't there a call to action on your LinkedIn? No, not a sales call to action...

    I just had the most remarkable medical experience. By some luck, I selected the gender health advocate for this location as my primary care doctor. That was by far the most seen I've ever felt in a medical environment and it changed the entire experience.

    The end of the world virus movies really made you believe that people would do something different if they thought everyone would die. Reality? Not so much.

    While a hiring manager may be an expert in creating whatever widget, they are not expert job post writers.

    Saying "you guys" isn't offensive to me unless you know it's exclusive and do it anyway. If you're wondering, y'all is my go to alternative. Or just "hi there"

    Give me one reason why you left a job before 1 year for a damn good reason. I'll go first. My boss told me I was not a writer and I had no talent. Yes, really. I made it 10 months. C'mon. Share your stories, they could help someone else see you don't stay for a resume.

    Learning this lesson over and over. It's harder than it sounds. And yes, family counts. Check them on behaviors, too.

    I really appreciate that I have friends who will flat out tell me no to a haircut. Not in a rude way, but always very honest way.
