    Feeling Planning Thinking

    This month marks my official one year of unemployment. I have about 4 years of experience in a niche field, but unfortunately, I find it difficult to translate that experience into other roles, even at the entry-level. I'm currently based in Houston but I'm open to relocating to another city for a few months in search of better job opportunities. I'm looking for advice on what types of companies or industries might be willing to hire someone with a year gap in their employment history. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I have an interview scheduled for a position that is about 20 miles away this Thursday. I'm feeling uncertain because I reached out to the hiring manager about the salary but haven’t received a response yet. The salary details weren't mentioned during the initial screening, and it wasn't listed in the job ad either. I'm hesitant to spend money on an Uber to get there if the salary ends up being too low. I’m also concerned about the lack of communication; it feels a bit off to me that she's ignoring my email before the interview. I live in Texas, where it's common for companies to avoid disclosing salary information. I'm wondering if I should still go to the interview or if it’s a red flag.
