If you have questions about your career, I’m here to help! I’m Janet Civitelli, and I maintain this blog to respond to reader inquiries. Please contact me to submit a question, and if I choose it, I’ll publish a response and let you know when the article is live.

To provide a variety of perspectives, I interview and quote hiring managers, recruiters, and career experts. Sometimes their advice may seem harsh. I want us to fix the broken job search and workplace policies in the United States, but in the meantime, knowledge is power, and I want you to have the information you need to navigate the current system.
