I used to work with someone who did that, he also liked to do an "aaaah" at the end of his sips, drove me up the bloody wall. Currently I have a co worker who sits next to me and likes to talk to himself, thank god for my noise-cancelling headphones!

A work colleague has connected with a guy from a company we're trying to work with. She showed me the DMs she got from him, he included his Instagram URL and asked her to connect with him "so he can send her some cheesy pick up lines". She didn't accept his Insta follow and now doesn't want to...

Don't be disheartened if you have to smoke bomb one early, I did this once, can be intimidating at first. The thing I learnt was that there's a lot of people in the same boat ie flying solo trying to network. So I usually walk in, try and pick someone who's on their own and talk to them, they're...

I found it hard at the start, you just have to be "on" and be willing to talk to strangers. Once you get over that it's a piece of piss I reckon. And as it happens a beer helps you network, I don't mean get sloshed but a beer or two does make it easier. There are a lot of pissheads in IT for...

My mates often screenshot pics of me from Linkedin and post in our Whatsapp group so they can all hang s**t on me. I reckon they'll have a field day on the weekend, I'm going to an International Women's Day lunch, there'll be plenty of material for them!

I have people from one company who keep "viewing my profile". I know they're looking for someone and I nearly worked for them some years back. Might be overthinking things but you'd reckon they could reach out directly if they do want to hire me. Or maybe they're just checking out my profile...

A lot of it is just one percenters, being able to get along with people (both internal and external) and being thorough when we get an opportunity. Plus I do more than two customer meetings a week ha ha, my last job I had to do 15 a week!

Anyone had a new job where their predecessor was hopeless and all of the customers hated them? This has been my experience thus far, aside from having to win back customer's trust it's a good thing for sure.

First day done, straight to a customer meeting which was awesome, great to get into it, very confident I’m what they’re looking for to be honest (this is the honeymoon period of course)

I'm starting a new one on Monday, will report back. Good dough, good product and seems like a great team so I'm very positive.

The exact reason I didn't make my post ha ha, w***ers like that. I mean I reshare posts from my company and the odd thing in the industry, it's to help my company more than anything of course. Social media is "look at me" by definition but it's even worse on LinkedIn, cringeful but essential to...

After I did my MBA I deadset had a post written out with a pic of my degree, thanking employers and wife/kids etc. I just couldn't post it, felt it would have been disingenuous, I ******* hate that ha ha, delete!

I'm seeing a lot of posts on Linkedin from people who do their day a year of community work, Ronald McDonald's house, the Sydney Food bank or whatever it is. I mean they're doing good of course, there's something about making sure your charity work is public that grates a bit with me, but it is...

I agree with you generally speaking, but funnily enough this just popped up on my Linkedin https://www.wionews.com/world/work-from-home-is-now-a-legal-right-in-netherlands-495111

I guess there's an issue if the worker doesn't want to expose themselves to COVID/flu etc. I don't really know if this has been tested in a legal sense yet, i'm sure it will be at some point though.

This is fair enough but it depends on what the application is. I work for a fabricating company which requires high quality and specifically designed infrastructure. The run rate stuff is fine to get from OS but the quality can be low and inconsistent, plus you can be subject to long lead times...

I think if a potential employee sees you have an MBA they might think you have the training to be in management eventually. That is in the corporate sector, an MBA is useful for a small business owner as well I reckon.

Probably depends what industry but I don’t think anyone cares. It’s more about what institution you do it with I think, though even that mightnt matter for many.

I would much prefer to work in the office, I get distracted by my young bloke trying to home school, plus the dishwasher will finish, we'll get a delivery etc etc. That said I can work fine from home, have a spare room/office, have my phone and laptop. I'm in sales and can't see people at the...

Working from home today cause I'm getting my car serviced, NBA playoffs are on, this is like last year all over again!

I'm "working from home today", as in watching Netflix and replying to the odd email, cruisy Monday. Much easier to approach WFH when i'm pretty sure I'll be back in the office later in the week.

That's not a bad idea, I guess it removes the advantage of not using petrol when WFH but I can see how it would work.

That's not a bad idea actually. When i'm in the office it's the drive home I guess, but yeah I struggle to split up the day when WFH.

It's the lack of human interaction and the distractions at home that do my head in. I find it very hard to be proactive at home, much easier when I'm in the office. The flexibility is good but my job is flexible anyway generally so it doesn't worry me in that sense.

I'm back to what I was doing pre pandemic, one day work from home, 1-2 days in the office, 2-3 days seeing customers, loving it, * working from home 5 days a week.

I'm in training for Linkedin as we speak (paying close attention obviously), we're signing up for Sales Navigator. It's funny that they assume we use Linkedin for work purposes, the way I see it it's for my personal brand, not my employers. And they always seem to think approaching a client...

I've actually tried to reprise my uni skills and downloaded Python to mess about on, won't do me any harm to brush up on my coding.

I would think cyber security would be a great field to get into, it's growing and ScoMo has pledged millions over the next 10 years into ensuring government systems are protected. The way i see it you should find someone who has the job you want and chat to them about what they did to get...

Had a bad day for focus yesterday, did bugger all. Going better today so far.

I finished mine in 2018, was with RMIT via Open Universities. I think all up it was a tick under 40k, seemed ok I guess, probably 60/40 in terms of good teachers to s**t ones. Anyway the first unit was an intensive over two weekends where we had to go to the university, the rest were online. I...
