Before starting Advise Your Career, I spent 18 years working as an accountant at Walmart headquarters. Over the years, I interviewed dozens of candidates and became deeply familiar with the ins and outs of corporate hiring—what really matters and what doesn’t when it comes to standing out.

Tanner, who now works alongside me, has his Master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. He studied how organizations improve hiring decisions and even worked at the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute helping with the ASTB pilot selection test—so he really gets hiring from the scientific side.

Our experience is different, but it’s exactly that mix that makes our approach to helping job seekers so effective.

No one wants to think about job loss, but the truth is—it happens.
Company layoffs. Leadership changes. Restructuring. Life.

And when it does, the last thing you want is to start from scratch with a blank Word doc.

That’s why we always recommend keeping your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile updated—even when you’re not actively job searching.

🧭 It gives you confidence
📄 It makes transitions smoother
💼 And it ensures you’re always ready to take the next step—on your terms

We’ve seen a wave of employers adding financial wellness programs to their benefits packages—and for good reason. These offerings go beyond traditional perks and help employees build confidence around money.

They provide tools and resources like budgeting education, debt coaching, emergency savings, and personalized financial counseling—so employees can manage their finances with less stress and more clarity.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠:

✨ Employers offering financial wellness see improvements in retention, productivity, and engagement
📉 With money worries, employees are twice as likely to look for other jobs—and these programs help anchor their loyalty
🔐 Financial security = higher job satisfaction and reduced burnout

We’re genuinely excited to watch this trend grow. Financial wellness support sends a powerful message: you’re valued—inside and outside the workplace.

💬 What do you think? Are financial wellness programs a smart move for the future of benefits?
