Coping with remote work overload

How to ‘curate’ your career to interest potential employers

Q: I’m writing my CV for the first time in 24 years – and I don’t know where to start. I’ve done so much across a range of sectors – to be honest, I think I’ve forgotten half of it. I’ve managed two large retail outlets; sold advertising for a magazine and website; managed a team of merchandisers; and even ran a community enterprise. How can I blend all this together so that it makes some sense without running to 20 pages? I’m at my wit’s end trying to figure it out. (LF, email).

Linking in and getting out – without the boss noticing

Q: I’m skulking in here with this question. Despite what I say below, my initials aren’t even DG. But you’d never know who might be watching. My question is: how do I start using LinkedIn to get a new job – without my current boss finding out? She’s all over LinkedIn like a rash and she will surely spot me if I start making any sudden moves. I badly need to get out of here and into a rival company because this place is cracking me up. I have a LinkedIn account but I haven’t really kept it up to date. (DG, not, email).

Turn your LinkedIn profile into a digital CV

Q: I have been on LinkedIn for years, but I make poor use of it. I go on there and see lots of activity but I’m never quite sure what I should do. Is there any way that my LinkedIn profile can be transformed to become my digital CV, in effect? I am looking around for a new job after having the same role for the past 13 years and I would like every help I can get. Don’t be afraid to be basic in your advice – I’m little more than a beginner even though I’ve had a LinkedIn profile for aeons. (KL, email).

Eight tips on how to show you’re more than just a smooth talker

Q: I am talkative, and I think quickly on my feet. People would say I am rarely stuck for a word. I sometimes feel that people think this means I am flighty or lacking in depth - in fact, as I’ve shown throughout my college years, I have great focus and attention to detail. Just because I talk a lot doesn’t mean I can’t listen and pay attention. I’d like to maintain my verbal dexterity in an important job interview next week, but also convince them I’m not just a fly-by- night. Any thoughts on how I could combine those twin goals?” (TT, email).
