Be a manager and a temp?
It’s a sign of the times. Employers who hesitate to add costly permanent jobs are increasingly looking for short-term talent – and plenty of highly qualified people are looking for work to tide them over until hiring picks up again, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her March 16 Ask Annie column. Does the idea of working at a series of interim jobs appeal to you? Why or why not? If you’ve ever done, or are doing, temporary work, how does it differ (for better and worse) from a permanent position? Any tips for those who are considering it?
Where jobs still are in a bleak market
This is an exceptionally lousy time to be looking for a job, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Jan. 15 Ask Annie column. But if you’re a professional or manager, there may well be a job opening out there with your name on it. Are there pockets of opportunity, in your city or your industry, where companies are still hiring? Have you recently gotten a new job despite the tough overall job market? If so, do you have any suggestions for job hunters?
How to deliver bad financial news
Announcing lousy results is never a day at the beach, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Sept. 26 Ask Annie column. Ever had to deliver bad news to a stressed-out audience? Or have you been on the receiving end? Got any suggestions for how to do it (or how not to)?
Where the big jobs are
Despite the slump at lowlier levels of the job market, there’s currently a war for senior management talent, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her August 8 Ask Annie column. Where is the most job growth for senior-level positions now? Would you relocate for the right job opportunity? If you’ve ever moved for a job, how did it work out? Any regrets, or tips for those who may be considering moving? Where do you wish you were working? Do you see jobs available for high-level positions?
When will corporate women rise higher?
A 50-something reader who found she couldn’t ‘have it all’ asks Fortune’s Anne Fisher if her daughter can expect better career rewards. In her October 1 Ask Annie column, Fisher explains whether to offer the next generation a reality check, or to keep quiet. Has your career turned out the way you hoped, so far? Would you advise someone just starting out in your field to follow in your footsteps? Do you think women starting careers today will advance further?
Do CEOs make lousy dads?
The author of a new book on CEO dads (he is one) thinks so, and tells Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her June 14 column how to become a better one. Do you think high-powered executives make lousy parents? What do you do to keep family relationships and your career strong?
