Here’s a disappointing statistic: A recent survey by job search website Joblist found that nearly three in four people (73%) don’t see an opportunity for growth in their current jobs. This comes at a time when employees are being more thoughtful about the work they’re doing, according to Joblist CEO Kevin Harrington.
“The pandemic has created this occasion where workers are thinking more deeply about their relationship with work and relationship with employers,” he says, noting that employees and job seekers are frustrated that their employers are treating their relationship as very transactional instead of focusing on development. This makes employees feel expendable.
But the good news is that there are ways to build marketable skills, even if your job doesn’t have a clear path to advancement. So, before you label your job a “dead end,” think about the various ways you can make it work for your future.

He’s developed a stellar reputation at his organization as the go-to person to solve some very specific, complicated problems. But he worries that the organization has pigeon-holed him as a subject matter expert, limiting his ability to lead more broadly.

Humans have been trying to master lie detection for thousands of years — and failing miserably.
In fact, polygraphs aren’t reliable. With as little as 15 minutes of training, people have been able to consistently beat the test.
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has even said that “the Federal government should not rely on polygraph examinations for screening prospective or current employees, or to identify spies or other national security risks because the test results are too inaccurate.”
So is there any way to detect lies based on real science? Actually, yes, and it involves understanding the psychology behind how liars think.
How to tell when someone is lying—and get the truth out of them
In 2009, the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG, was formed by the federal government to develop new lie detection best practices, and by 2016, the interagency group had spent more than $15 million on over 100 research projects with top psychologists.
So what do people who are incredibly good at catching liars on the spot do?

In May, Charlie Youakim, the CEO of buy now pay later (BNPL) firm Sezzle went on the World of DaaS podcast which is hosted by Auren Hoffman, the CEO of Safegraph, a large location data broker. Both companies are data harvesters that package and resell data to other parties. Towards the end of the episode, the two self-professed data nerds segued to a favorite subject amongst entrepreneurs: Team-building, a euphemism for hiring, managing, and firing. Or, as Hoffman put it, “Moneyballing for talent.”
“It’s very similar to our product, taking as much data as you can at the initiation of meeting someone and use that data as part of this matrix of how you look at them and evaluate,” Youakim said. “We use Wonderlic”—an aptitude test whose validity in a variety of settings has long been controversial—” but it’s not the be-all-end-all for us. It’s a data point. So we look at that. If you’re a younger potential employee, I want to see a transcript. Like how did you do in school? What was your GPA?” Later they referred to SAT scores as another data point.
Then, Hoffman floated an idea: “Now if there is, like, a World of DaaS listener out there and they started a co-op to gather all the data of, like, inputs of what people look like and then how good they did in your company and you could see this across thousands of companies….”
“That’d be awesome,” Youakim said.
“Would that be something you’d want to subscribe to or something?” Hoffman asked.
“Oh, absolutely,” Youakim enthused.

After the pandemic, the world of work changed. While in some ways work changed for the better, it didn’t stop the Great Resignation. Between 2020 and 2022, record numbers of professionals quit the workplace and sought better work arrangements either with different employers or independently.
While it might be tempting to follow your peers and go searching for better-looking opportunities, here are five reasons why staying in your current job can actually pay off.

Dear Kimberly,
This is a bit of an international question. I moved to Paris to pursue my dream of working in fashion. As a Latina moving to a different continent it has been challenging to compete with native French speakers and build my place in the industry. So far I’ve been successful working for small companies, but burnout comes from working in start-ups. I have too much on my plate. The expectations are way too high, and my paycheck isn’t high enough.
My current job title at a smaller company is quite senior. I am interviewing with a big company now where the pay is better but the title is more junior. Is it worth the change if I have to take a step back in title? The bigger company is more prestigious.
Thank you!

Combating cultural, language, and workplace norms in another country is a huge adjustment to make. A demanding workload on top of that can easily become the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Unfortunately, many start-ups are known for having heavy workloads. When a start-up is in the early stages of scaling, the focus is driving revenue while keeping costs low, which means that your salary may be lower. Is it fair? Not at all. But it’s the reality of many start-up environments until they get to a point where they are able to invest more heavily in their staff.
Now, let’s talk about your potential job opportunity. Titles are subjective in the workplace. A vice-president at one company may be doing the same level of work as a manager at another; it all depends on the hierarchy created within that organization and the title structure they have developed. Early on in my career when I transitioned from financial services to higher education, I worked as an assistant director of admissions at a college in the Bronx. It was my first time having “director” in my title, so I was ecstatic. However, when I looked at the job description, it was really an entry-level admissions-counselor job.

A toxic work culture is the biggest reason why people quit, and it’s 10 times even more important than pay, according to research published in the MIT Sloan Management Review. But what exactly does a toxic workplace actually look like?
Researchers analyzed 1.4 million Glassdoor reviews from nearly 600 major U.S. companies and found employees describe toxic workplaces in five main ways: non-inclusive, disrespectful, unethical, cutthroat, and abusive.
“Employees can have hundreds of different criticisms about their organization that they discuss on Glassdoor,” from IT problems to clueless management, says Charlie Sull, a researcher on the analysis. “Most won’t have a powerful emotive effect on their assessment of the organization, but we’re looking at a small sample of topics that do have a large effect on a company’s Glassdoor rating.” Those same factors can cost companies billions of dollars in employees quitting.

Never mind reading generic guides or practicing with friends — Google is betting that algorithms can get you ready for a job interview. The company has launched an Interview Warmup tool that uses AI to help you prepare for interviews across various roles. The site asks typical questions (such as the classic “tell me a bit about yourself”) and analyzes your voiced or typed responses for areas of improvement. You’ll know when you overuse certain words, for instance, or if you need to spend more time talking about a given subject.
Interview Warmup is aimed at Google Career Certificates users hoping to land work, and most of its role-specific questions reflect this. There are general interview questions, though, and Google plans to expand the tool to help more candidates. The feature is currently only available in the US.
