                        Pros

                        Independence: As the owner of a company, you have control over the direction of the business and the decisions made. Financial benefits: If the company is successful, you have the potential to earn more money than you would in a traditional job. Job creation: By starting a company, you have the opportunity to create jobs and help boost the economy. Flexibility: Running your own company can offer more flexibility in terms of work hours and work-life balance. Personal growth: Starting and running a company can be a great opportunity for personal growth and learning new skills.

                        Cons

                        Financial risk: Starting a company comes with financial risk, as there are no guarantees that the business will be successful. Long hours: Starting and running a company requires a significant amount of time and effort, often resulting in long work hours and a lack of work-life balance. Stress: Running a company can be very stressful, as you are responsible for the success or failure of the business. Uncertainty: The future of a company can be uncertain, making it difficult to plan for the long term. Responsibility: As the owner of a company, you are responsible for not only the success of the business but also the well-being of your employees.

                      Graduate Student

                      Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

                      Administrative Assistant

                      I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
