Here, *ArtsHub* can offer plenty of concrete advice. You can reap the most benefit by reflecting on your own creativity. It doesn’t matter whether or not you implement any of the following suggestions. The important part is your ability to extend pre-existing frames of reference to include new perspectives, approaches, and ideas. Building a sustainable creative practice doesn’t mean doing everything all at once. Instead, it’s about **strategic planning** and **consistent effort** over time. Focus on developing a routine that balances creative work with practical aspects like marketing, networking, and financial management. **Key elements to consider:** - **Define your vision**: Clearly articulate what success looks like for your arts practice. - **Set realistic goals**: Break down your long-term vision into achievable milestones. - **Build a support network**: Connect with other artists, mentors, and industry professionals. - **Diversify income streams**: Explore multiple revenue sources beyond just selling your art. - **Prioritize self-care**: Maintain your physical and mental health to sustain creativity long-term. Remember, sustainability isn’t just about financial stability—it’s about creating a practice that you can maintain and grow over the years without burning out. By integrating these principles into your daily work, you can build a resilient and fulfilling arts career that stands the test of time.]]></description> <author>contact@resumebuilder.careers (ResumeBuilder.careers)</author> <category>creativecareer</category> <category>artspractice</category> <category>sustainability</category> <category>careertips</category> <category>artistlife</category> <enclosure url="https://www.artshub.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/jonathan-borba-RTHwerpZU_U-unsplash-e1776311104175.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[From Journalist to Senior Influencer: A 75-Year-Old's Bold Career Pivot]]></title> <link>https://www.resumebuilder.careers/article/from-journalist-to-senior-influencer-a-75-year-olds-bold-career-pivot</link> <guid>from-journalist-to-senior-influencer-a-75-year-olds-bold-career-pivot</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:04:10 GMT</pubDate> <description>< At age 75, I've done a lot of living and have plenty of wisdom to share as a **"multiple decade influencer."** Here are some of the tips I could offer: ## Texting Tips for Seniors Since texting is all the rage now, I've developed some texting briefs specifically for seniors: - Instead of LOL (laughing out loud), use LOL for **"low on libations"** - Instead of BFF (best friends forever), use BFF for **"best friend fell"** - ROFLACGU means **"rolling on floor and can't get up"** ## Dating Advice for Seniors For those re-entering the dating scene: - If you've had heart surgery, **don't wear your shirt open** to show your patch of gray chest hair - it only reveals an ugly scar - The same goes for women wearing low-cut tops to show cleavage - If you wear support hose, **avoid shorts or short dresses** - the fake skin color doesn't fool anyone ## Clever Life Hacks - Write something in **cursive** when you don't want your grandkids to read it - they weren't taught cursive in school - If you're tired of family members borrowing your car, **buy a vehicle with manual transmission** - they won't be able to get it out of the garage This career change represents more than just a new job - it's about **leveraging decades of life experience** to connect with an underserved audience and share practical wisdom that only comes with time.]]></description> <author>contact@resumebuilder.careers (ResumeBuilder.careers)</author> <category>careerchange</category> <category>seniorinfluencer</category> <category>lifetips</category> <category>socialmedia</category> <category>careerpivot</category> <enclosure url="https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/22/42/71/21638751/4/rawImage.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[5 Insider Secrets from a Career Expert That Land College Grads Jobs in a Tough Market]]></title> <link>https://www.resumebuilder.careers/article/5-insider-secrets-from-a-career-expert-that-land-college-grads-jobs-in-a-tough-market</link> <guid>5-insider-secrets-from-a-career-expert-that-land-college-grads-jobs-in-a-tough-market</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:04:11 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[College students and recent graduates are entering a very **difficult job market**. For some, getting an interview can feel like an impossible feat, let alone securing a position. It’s not hopeless, though. In fact, career advisor **Gorick Ng** not only knows young college grads who have landed jobs but also how they did it. Ng gave some **solid advice** and shared the things college students did that helped them successfully land a job shortly after earning their diploma. Here are the ways those grads got their careers started: <iframe height="auto" loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2DAa_GsHu_M?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1" title="youtube embed content" width="100%"></iframe> ## 1. Start Your Career Training While You’re Still a Student The earlier you’re on your career track, the better off you’ll be once you graduate. That said, it’s not too late to start, even if you’re a senior. Including **extracurricular activities** and **volunteer work** on your resume can help strengthen your candidacy as a new hire. While it can be great to include activities and titles relevant to the job itself (such as being president of the coding club for software development positions), other extracurricular activities can also be included if they demonstrate **leadership** and **planning skills** (such as being a tutor or leading a party planning committee). Listing the skills you’ve learned at internships and part-time positions helps you stand out as well. Speaking of which… ## 2. Know the Timelines for the Jobs and Internships You Want While the summer is typically when internships are available, many applications need to be submitted months in advance. Some are even available year-round. It’s best to do your research to understand the **recruitment timelines** for internships and student jobs. Applying for and getting these positions can boost your resume when you search for full-time work. Even if you don’t get the internship, the process of applying and interviewing can be good practice when you apply for a full-time position. It’s also an opportunity to become a familiar face and make connections. ## 3. Expand Your Network Beyond Your Peers, and Stay in Touch While you’ll make connections with other people in your major who could help you, it’s very likely that you and your immediate peers are applying for the same pool of jobs. To get an edge or a job lead, it can be helpful to reach out and develop relationships beyond your current sphere. <iframe height="auto" loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cGRPKg4lmqY?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1" title="youtube embed content" width="100%"></iframe> Become friends with older students who graduate in your chosen field. This can allow you to stay in touch with someone already in your industry who could get a job and possibly recommend you for a role once you’ve graduated. Creating and maintaining relationships with college professors or speakers in your field can also create opportunities later. Even approaching those who interviewed you for a position or internship you didn’t get can be a good connection, depending on how well the process went. While these relationships are professional in nature, it’s important to nurture them as **genuine relationships**, not transactions. Leading with curiosity about them, their professional lives, and the like will help you create long-lasting allies who have a connection to the field you want to be part of. They may also be willing to act as a reference on your behalf. ## 4. Submit Your Resume Within 24 Hours of a Job Posting Applying for a job is easier, which is a wonderful problem to have. With **AI-based applications** and one-button resume submissions, it has become more difficult for qualified applicants to be seen by recruiters. There is also the problem of **ghost jobs** clogging up job searches with positions that are either already filled or don’t exist. With this in mind, it’s best to submit a job application within **24 hours** of a posting. This can ensure your resume is near the top of the stack. You can also ask your network if there are email newsletters to subscribe to within your chosen industry. This could alert you to positions before they’re posted online. If there is a specific company you wish to work for, check its website regularly. Applying through its official website usually gets your resume seen before applications through third-party postings. <iframe height="auto" loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P8bC-ZaQdkA?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1" title="youtube embed content" width="100%"></iframe> There are also some hacks for job search websites like **LinkedIn**. They can help you winnow down your search to job postings listed within an hour of posting. ## 5. Display Competence, Commitment, and Compatibility Ng says that whether it’s a networking contact, recruiter, or potential employer, people want three “yeses” to the following questions: - “Can this person do the job well?” - “Is this person excited to be here?” - “Do I get along with this person?” Ng sums this up by saying a college student needs to demonstrate the **“3 Cs”**: **competence**, **commitment**, and **compatibility**. <iframe height="auto" loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Lo7vvny9y1A?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1" title="youtube embed content" width="100%"></iframe> By showing competence through a resume, commitment through conversation, and compatibility through the professional contacts you retain, you can show an employer that you know what you’re doing, are eager to demonstrate your abilities, and can be molded into what they need.]]></description> <author>contact@resumebuilder.careers (ResumeBuilder.careers)</author> <category>careeradvice</category> <category>jobsearch</category> <category>collegegrads</category> <category>networking</category> <category>resumetips</category> <enclosure url="https://s.yimg.com/os/en/upworthy_219/234df56ca9020dfda4d385f6895fda6e" length="0" type="image//os/en/upworthy_219/234df56ca9020dfda4d385f6895fda6e"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[IRS Expands Tax Deduction for Tips: 3 New Jobs Added & Key Rules Explained]]></title> <link>https://www.resumebuilder.careers/article/irs-expands-tax-deduction-for-tips-3-new-jobs-added-key-rules-explained</link> <guid>irs-expands-tax-deduction-for-tips-3-new-jobs-added-key-rules-explained</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:04:12 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The IRS has finalized new regulations for the tips deduction under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1, P.L. 119-21), bringing significant changes for tipped workers. These rules expand eligibility, clarify what counts as qualified tips, and address digital payments and automatic gratuities. ### Key Changes in the Final Regulations With the addition of three new occupations — **floral designers, visual artists, and gas pump attendants** — the total number of jobs eligible for the deduction now stands at **71**. This expansion follows initial guidance issued in September and proposed regulations later that month, with further updates in November before the final release just before the April 15 tax filing deadline. ### Defining Qualified Tips The regulations provide clear parameters for what constitutes qualified tips: - **Digital assets are excluded**: No digital assets are considered cash tips. However, the IRS notes it will review the tax treatment of payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act (P.L. 119-27), which establishes a federal regulatory framework, to determine if revisions are needed. - **Automatic gratuities do not count**: Mandatory amounts added to bills, such as an 18% gratuity for large parties, are not qualified tips. **Any amount over the mandatory percentage is considered a qualified tip**. - **Voluntary tips are included**: When customers can adjust recommended amounts or choose a percentage (including zero), those tips qualify. ### Clarifications Based on Public Feedback The IRS received over 300 comments on the proposed regulations, leading to important clarifications. For example, a request to add winery tasting room servers to the eligible list was addressed by renaming the category from "food servers, non-restaurant" to **"food and beverage servers, non-restaurant"**, which already covers such roles. ### Deduction Limits and Phase-Outs Under H.R. 1, the maximum annual deduction for tipped workers is **$25,000**. This deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income (AGI) over **$150,000** ($300,000 for joint filers), making it crucial for workers to understand their eligibility based on income levels. These final regulations aim to provide clearer guidance for tipped employees navigating tax deductions, ensuring compliance and maximizing benefits.]]></description> <author>contact@resumebuilder.careers (ResumeBuilder.careers)</author> <category>irs</category> <category>taxdeduction</category> <category>tippedworkers</category> <category>careertips</category> <category>financialguidance</category> <enclosure url="https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/TAX-NEWS-MATTERS_2_JofA-Social-Branding-Images.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock Your Career Potential: 5 Astro-Inspired Tips for Professional Growth and Success]]></title> <link>https://www.resumebuilder.careers/article/unlock-your-career-potential-5-astro-inspired-tips-for-professional-growth-and-success</link> <guid>unlock-your-career-potential-5-astro-inspired-tips-for-professional-growth-and-success</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:04:11 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Feeling stuck in your career? Sometimes, the key to unlocking your professional potential lies in shifting your perspective and adopting new strategies. Here are some astro-inspired tips to help you navigate career shifts and achieve greater success. ## Embrace Flexibility in Your Approach You may start the day with a clear sense that something needs to move, but not in the usual way you prefer. **Plan simple, define your work, and keep working steadily to get results.** The day responds to smart adjustments more than control. You may find that a situation improves not because you push harder, but because you step back and look at it differently. Rigidity is likely to be an issue early in the day, either in yourself or in the situation. The route you had in mind may not be suitable. People may respond unexpectedly. Tasks may require a different process than originally planned. Trying to stick to the original line can make the day seem slower. You'll get the best results if you keep the goal the same, but let the method change. ## Optimize Your Workflow for Efficiency Work improves when you stop relying solely on effort. It is possible that one part of your day has become inefficient due to the same routine being followed for a long time. Delays, unnecessary steps, a project that needs more clarity, or a conversation that would move faster if handled more directly may be where the real progress lies. A great day for **improving systems, clearing backlog intelligently, and strategizing on professional matters**. Rather than overwork, seniors prefer practical clarity. Feel free to ask for help. If something is slowing the workflow, suggest how to fix it. Students may also do well by simplifying the plan and working in focused blocks instead of trying to carry too much at once. Today is best for refinement and smart positioning, not impulsive decisions for profile updates, applications, or career shifts. ## Review and Adjust Financial Habits Money matters remain steady, but the day favours practical review. The likely issue is not instability. It is the continuation of a money habit that has become routine but does not make any sense any longer. It may be time to take a second look at a subscription, an automatic expense, a delayed payment, or a financial decision which you have been postponing. A better result can be achieved through correction rather than pressure. Making a small adjustment in how you spend, save, or arrange payments may have a greater impact than setting an ambitious financial goal that you are unable to achieve. Review, compare, and select carefully if you're considering investments or market-related decisions today rather than relying solely on confidence. ## Foster Open Communication in Relationships In love, the day asks for a little more openness than your usual guarded practicality. If you are in a relationship, the likely issue may be assuming that shared history is enough to keep things understood. Things work better today if they are said, even if they are simple. Conversations about support, time, effort, or expectations can improve moods more than silent frustration. If you are single, someone may stand out because they feel independent, mentally clear, and not overly demanding. You may be attracted to a person who seems steady in their own way rather than emotional display. In longer relationships, it may be beneficial to talk about future plans with a lighter tone. ## Prioritize Physical and Mental Well-being Your physical energy stays fairly steady, but the body can hold tension if the mind stays too fixed on one outcome. The likely issue is not exhaustion so much as tightness from overcontrol. That may show up through stiffness, a heavy neck or shoulders, or the feeling that you cannot fully relax even when there is a pause. The solution is to break the pattern physically. Walk, stretch, drink water properly, and step away from one task before it hardens into pressure. The more flexible your body becomes, the more flexible your mind is likely to feel by evening. ## Key Takeaway The goal you have set does not have to be abandoned. You only need to loosen the way you are trying to reach it.]]></description> <author>contact@resumebuilder.careers (ResumeBuilder.careers)</author> <category>career</category> <category>tips</category> <category>success</category> <category>growth</category> <category>professional</category> <enclosure url="https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-img/img/2026/04/11/550x309/capricorn_horoscope_1775911337842_1775911337976.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
