I wanted to apply for a job at a small company near my home, but they set up an online interview. I said I could come to the office instead, but they said it had to be online.
Later they rejected me because my neighbors were doing repairs and there was noise during the interview. Is that normal? Or were they just looking for an excuse to reject me? Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks

    They have to treat everyone the same. Allowing you to come in means they would have to offer that to others. It is their process. You were... mistakenly making it about you by: 1. not following the simplest direction, online. 2. Not moving to a better location to focus on the interview and avoid the noise. Managers look for subtle things to see if you will be compliant or difficult.  more

Hello everyone in the group! My trip to a construction site in Limassol (Cyprus), where I will work as a site supervisor, has been planned for a few months. Now it’s time for me to go.
To be honest, I’m a bit worried, even though it seems calm there now. Is anyone here from Limassol or nearby cities? Is everything okay there?
Thanks for your answers

There are five women in our department, but I always get all the difficult tasks. The others quickly tell the boss: “I don’t know how to do this” or “I’ve never done this before.” I usually can do it and figure it out.
But now I’m tired of it. If I start saying the same things, the boss probably won’t believe me. Can you give me advice on how to avoid difficult tasks sometimes and let others do... them too?
Thanks for any advice more

    If you know that someone knows how to do a specific task, ask their opinion, "Hey, ___, I would really like to know your opinion on this. What do you... think? That project you did was great. Would you have any recommendations?" Some of these may help.
    A lot of times, we want to be of assistance to show off our skills. Just be careful that they are not on the negative side and try to cause you to fail. Be sure they are supportive. Speak softly and BREATHE........ DEEP BREATH IN............ SLOWLY RELEASE OUT...................     more

My boss wants to take away my monthly bonus. She says I already make enough if I can afford flowers on my desk. But I just like having fresh flowers, they make me feel better at work, so I buy them.
It’s a sad situation. Are bonuses really not about how well you work, but about something like being jealous of flowers?

I had a job interview at a small company. The director said he was going to lunch and asked me to go with him. He bought me a coffee, we talked calmly and then he said I got the job and could start on Monday. I still don’t understand what the catch is. Or did I really just get lucky and find a job that easily?

Hi, I need some advice about hygiene at work. In our office WC there is liquid soap, but since many companies share the floor, it keeps disappearing- someone is taking it. I suggested bringing our own soap but that’s not very convenient. I also asked my boss to put a soap dispenser on the wall so no one can take it, but he said no.
This week, about half of our team got a stomach virus and I think... the reason is simple - people aren’t washing their hands.
How can we fix this problem? How is it done at your workplace? Thanks!

    Just bring your own soap. The owner is already being inconvenienced by an employed kleptomaniac.
    Sharing soap dispensers is also a contaminated hub... when used by multiple end users. Even hand sanitisers have been proven to have the opposite effect on body parts washed. Many carcinogens in their formulations​.

    Your boss is not responsible for your hygiene nor is he/she not aware of property being stolen. the price of doing business. Perp will be fired for integrity issues once caught in the act.     more

I Trusted My Friend to Help With My CV and Application -- But She Was At My Interview When I Walked In


The fluorescent lights in the waiting room hummed with a clinical, predatory energy that made the sweat behind my neck turn cold. I clutched my leather folder, my knuckles white, staring at the woman sitting directly across from me in the plush charcoal armchair. It was Leah.

She was wearing the power suit she'd bought last month, her hair lay in a sharp, professional bob, looking every bit the... corporate conqueror. My heart didn't just throb; it felt like it was trying to exit my chest through my throat.

"Leah?" I whispered, the name catching on the dry roof of my mouth. "What are you doing here?"

She didn't flinch. She didn't look guilty. Instead, she offered a thin, practised smile that didn't reach her eyes and adjusted the identical navy-blue company folder resting on her lap.

"Oh, Naomi! You applied for this, too?" she asked, her voice airy and casual, as if we were bumping into each other at a grocery store rather than at the one job interview that was supposed to save my life. "That's so funny. Small world, isn't it?"

"Funny?" I choked out, the air in the room suddenly feeling too thin to breathe. "You told me the role wasn't really your 'vibe' when I showed you the listing. You spent three days 'fixing' my CV for this exact position."

She leaned forward, the scent of her expensive, musky perfume hitting me like a physical blow -- a sharp contrast to the antiseptic smell of the office. "I just thought I'd throw my hat in the ring at the last minute, babes," she said, her tone hardening just a fraction. "May the best woman win, right?"

We had been inseparable since our first year at university.

Leah was the fire to my water. While I spent my nights in the library perfecting my syntax, she was out networking, building a bridge to the career she wanted. She landed a solid role at a marketing firm straight after graduation.

I, on the other hand, had spent the last eight months staring at the peeling paint on my apartment ceiling. The bills had started to feel like physical weights pressing down on my shoulders.

Every time my mother called from the village to ask how the job hunt was going, I felt a fresh wave of shame. "Don't worry, Naomi," Leah had told me over a plate of steaming tilapia last month.

"I'm going to see you win. Your brilliance just needs the right packaging." She held my hand across the table, her grip firm and reassuring.

"I've got the connections, and I know exactly what these HR managers are looking for," she'd insisted. "Just send me your drafts. I'll polish them until they shine." I felt a surge of genuine gratitude that brought tears to my eyes. "You'd really do that for me?" I asked, my voice trembling.

"Of course," she laughed, waving away my thanks. "What are friends for if not to pull each other up?" I sent her my CV that night, feeling like a massive burden had been lifted.

I told her everything about the mid-sized firm I'd found. I told her about the salary, a figure that was significantly higher than what she was currently earning.

"It's a bit of a jump for you, isn't it?" she'd remarked, her eyes flickering over the job description on my phone. "But hey, if you think you can handle the pressure, go for it."

I trusted her completely because she was the one who already had her foot in the door of the world I was trying to enter. She was my mentor, my sister, and my safety net. Or so I thought.

The first red flag appeared a week before the application deadline. Leah had been "working" on my CV for five days, claiming she was too swamped at her own job to finish the edits.

"I need to submit it by Friday, Leah," I told her over the phone, pacing the narrow hallway of my flat. "The portal closes at midnight."

"Relax, Naomi," she snapped, her voice uncharacteristically sharp. "I'm making sure it's perfect. Do you want the job or not?" I went quiet, swallowed by the fear of offending the only person helping me.

When the document finally landed in my inbox on Thursday evening, I opened it with trembling fingers. As I scrolled through the pages, a cold knot began to form in the pit of my stomach.

She had removed my two-year stint at the regional consultancy -- the very place where I'd managed a team of six. "Why did you take out the consultancy lead role?" I texted her immediately.

"It makes you look overqualified and expensive," she messaged back seconds later. "Trust the process. I've rephrased your skills to make you seem more 'trainable'."

I looked at the laptop screen, bewildered. She had replaced my active, leadership-focused bullet points with passive, administrative language.

"It doesn't sound like me, Leah," I whispered to the empty room. I called her, hoping for clarity, but she didn't pick up.

A few minutes later, a voice note arrived. "Naomi, you're overthinking. I know these recruiters. They want someone who won't clash with the current manager."

I looked at my original draft -- full of achievements and high-level strategy. Then I looked at her version -- muted, simplified, and almost invisible.

The pressure of the deadline felt like a physical hand squeezing my throat. If I didn't submit this now, I'd lose the chance entirely.

If I ignored her advice and failed, I'd have no one to blame but myself. "She knows better," I whispered, trying to convince my pounding heart.

I uploaded her version of my life and hit 'submit'. The confirmation email felt less like a victory and more like a surrender.

Two days later, the invitation for an interview arrived. I was ecstatic, screaming into my pillow before calling Leah to share the news.

"That's great, bestie," she said, though her voice sounded strangely flat. "I told you my edits would work."

"I'm so nervous," I admitted. "Do you think I should brush up on the project management software they mentioned?" "Don't bother," she replied quickly. "They told me -- I mean, I heard -- they're moving away from that system."

I paused, the air suddenly still. "How did you hear that?"

"Just industry chatter, Naomi. Focus on being 'personable'. That's your strength." I sat on my bed after we hung up, the silence of the apartment feeling heavy and suspicious.

The light outside was fading into a bruised purple, casting long, distorted shadows across the floor. I felt like I was walking through a fog, unable to see the cliff edge until my foot was already hovering over the drop.

I decided to do a quick search on the company's recent LinkedIn posts. There, featured in a "Meet the Team" video from that morning, was the exact software she told me to ignore.

My heart gave a sickening thud. Why would she lie about something so small?

I shook it off, telling myself she was just misinformed. Friends don't sabotage friends.

I spent the next forty-eight hours rehearsing the "personable" answers she had coached me on. I wore the modest navy dress she suggested, even though I felt more powerful in my tailored blazer.

"You don't want to intimidate them," she'd warned. I walked into that office building feeling small, prepared to be the "trainable" girl she had created on paper.

Then the elevator doors opened. And there she was.

The receptionist called Leah's name first. She stood up with a grace that felt like a calculated insult, smoothing her skirt without looking back at me.

I sat in that chair for twenty minutes, the silence of the lobby ringing in my ears like a physical siren. Every time the heavy oak door opened, I expected to see her walk out with a look of shame.

Instead, when she finally emerged, she looked radiant. She caught my eye and gave a small, triumphant nod that made my stomach do a slow, sick flip.

"Good luck, Naomi," she whispered as she passed, her voice dripping with a pity that felt sharper than any blade. "They're looking for someone very... specific today."

When I finally walked into the boardroom, three panellists sat behind a glass table. I sat down, my hands trembling as I laid out my "diluted" CV in front of them.

"So, Naomi," the lead interviewer began, flipping through the pages with a bored expression. "Your profile seems a bit... entry-level for a role with this much responsibility."

I felt the blood drain from my face. "I've actually managed teams before," I said, my voice sounding thin and desperate in the large room.

"It's not listed here," he replied, pointing to the gap where Leah had deleted my consultancy experience. "We're looking for a leader, not someone we have to hand-hold through basic operations."

I looked down at the paper -- the paper Leah had "polished" for me. It was a map leading me directly into a dead end.

"I can explain those gaps," I started, but I could see their interest fading like a dying ember. They began asking technical questions about the very software Leah told me to ignore.

I tried to pivot, to show my personality as she'd coached me, but they weren't looking for a "friend." They were looking for the expert I had been before I let her touch my career.

The air in the room felt heavy, smelling of stale coffee and the ozone of high-end air conditioning. I realised then that I wasn't just fighting for a job; I was fighting the version of myself Leah had invented to ensure I'd fail.

The floor beneath my feet felt as though it had turned to water. I stumbled out of the interview room, the heavy oak door clicking shut behind me like a gavel.

Leah was still there, leaning against the glass windows of the lift lobby. She was silhouetted against the harsh afternoon sun, watching the city traffic crawl below.

"How did it go?" she asked, her back still turned. Her voice was steady, devoid of the nervous energy I was currently drowning in.

"They thought I was a junior, Leah," I said, my voice cracking as the humiliation finally broke through. "They literally laughed when I mentioned strategy. The edits you made -- they erased everything that made me a contender."

She turned around slowly. For the first time in ten years, the mask slipped completely. The warm, supportive sister-friend was gone. In her place stood a woman with eyes as cold and calculating as a high-frequency trader. There was no sympathy there; only a hard, metallic ambition.

"Maybe you just aren't ready for this level yet, Naomi," she said. Her tone was clinical. "I did you a favour, really. I kept you from overpromising and crashing out in the first month. You would have been out of your depth."

"You applied for it yourself," I whispered, the realisation hitting me with the force of a physical blow. I looked at the identical folder in her hand.

"You didn't just 'fix' my CV. You harvested it. You took the leadership highlights you deleted from mine and pasted them into yours, didn't you?"

She didn't even have the grace to flinch. She simply adjusted the strap of her designer handbag and looked at me as if I were a piece of outdated software.

"I saw the salary range on that listing, Naomi. It is double what I make now," she said flatly. "Why should I let you leapfrog over me? I've spent years networking while you were just... waiting. You haven't paid your dues."

The betrayal felt like a thick, oily slick in my throat. The soundscape of the office -- the ringing phones, the rhythmic tapping of keyboards -- suddenly muffled, as if I had been plunged underwater.

"You knew I was desperate," I gritted out, my eyes stinging. "You knew my landlord was calling every day. You used my vulnerability to scout a better deal for yourself."

"It's just business, babes," she said, her voice dropping to a low, cold hum as the lift doors chimed and slid open.

"Don't take it so personally. In this city, you're either the one holding the ladder or the one being stepped on." She stepped into the mirrored carriage, the doors closing on her calm, unbothered reflection.

I didn't cry on the bus ride home. The betrayal was too deep for tears; it felt more like a cold, clarifying frost.

I reached my apartment and sat in the dark for a long time, listening to the distant hum of traffic. My phone buzzed with a notification from her on social media.

"So proud of us for putting ourselves out there today! Lunch soon? x" I stared at the screen until the light dimmed and went black.

I didn't reply. I didn't demand an explanation; I already had. Instead, I went to my settings and clicked 'Block' on every platform we shared.

The silence that followed was the first bit of peace I'd felt in months. The next morning, I opened my laptop and pulled up my original, "overqualified" CV.

I restored every achievement, every leadership role, and every technical skill she had tried to bury. I realised that by trying to make myself "palatable" for her, I had made myself invisible to everyone else.

A week later, I saw a LinkedIn update from the company. The role was being re-advertised; neither of us had been "the right fit."

I felt a grim sense of satisfaction knowing her sabotage hadn't even bought her the prize she'd sold her soul for. I hit 'apply' again -- this time with the real version of me.

I haven't heard back yet, and the bills are still piling up on my kitchen counter. But the air in my apartment feels lighter, stripped of the toxic expectations of a "friend" who wanted me to stay small.

I used to think that loyalty was a debt you paid to people just because you'd known them a long time. I thought that a friend's success was my success, and I assumed they felt the same.

But I've learned that some people only want to see you do well as long as you aren't doing better than them. They will offer you a hand to help you up, only to ensure they can control how high you climb.

True friendship doesn't require you to shrink so the other person can feel tall. It doesn't ask you to hide your strengths to protect their fragile ego.

I am still looking for work, and the uncertainty is terrifying. But I would rather be unemployed and standing on my own two feet than successful and leaning on a snake.

I've reclaimed my voice and my history. And I've learned the hardest lesson of all: trust is a gift, but discernment is a survival skill.

If the person closest to you is the one holding the scissors, how can you ever expect to grow? more

Hello! We’re a small travel agency with a close team of women. Recently, a young guy was hired as a sales manager. But he has no basic knowledge, he doesn’t even know where China or South America are. I don’t understand how he’s going to sell tours to clients.
The owner thinks he’ll learn and do fine. But maybe he doesn't realize how little he knows? Should I tell the owner or stay out of it? I’m... worried we could lose customers because of him. Thanks

Hi! People at work look at me like I’m crazy or from another planet. When we collect money for someone’s birthday, people usually ask for simple things like a toaster or a frying pan. But I said I’d like an art book. I’ve wanted one for a long time, but I can’t usually afford it, so I thought it would be a nice group gift.
Some people didn’t like that. They said it’s a waste of money and now they... look at me strangely.
Should I try to change their minds, or just let them keep dreaming about frying pans? Thanks

Woman refused job at Midland estate agents because car 'too old'


An 18 year old woman was left furious after being denied a job interview at an estate agency - because her CAR was too old.

Alanah Thompson French applied for the position of trainee lettings negotiator but was rejected because she drove a 2014 Citroen C1.

The industrious teenager spent over a year juggling two cafe positions to fund the £2,800 vehicle which she believed would boost her... employment prospects.

However, when she put herself forward for a £20,000 position at haart Estate and Lettings Agents in Nottingham, her aspirations quickly stalled.

She was astonished upon receiving an email from the firm stating she would not be invited for interview.

Alanah was informed: "We regret to inform you that you have not been shortlisted for interview on this occasion as it is a requirement to have access to a vehicle under 10 years old."

The peculiar requirement meant Alanah's cherished Citroen exceeded the age limit by two years despite having clocked merely 33,000 miles, alongside a complete service history and MoT.

Alanah, from Burton Joyce, Notts., said: "I was really shocked when I received the rejection letter saying it was down to my car.

"I worked really hard whilst doing my A-Levels to pay for the car myself and pay the £700 insurance.

"My reason for getting a car was because I wanted to be able to drive for work but now it seems it was the reason I didn't get the job."

Alanah, who resides at home with her mum and dad, submitted her application for the trainee role last December. Despite nailing the application form, it seems she hit a snag when asked "is your car under 10 years old" and she marked "no".

Alanah commented: "If I hadn't got onto the shortlist because I didn't have the skills then fine but to be told it's because of the car I drive is a kick in the teeth.

"It's hardly an old banger and I keep it really clean inside and out.

"I'm only young so an older car was all I could afford. Obviously if I got the job I could save for a newer model but I need the job first.

"I finished my A-Levels and just didn't want to go to university and saddle myself with tens of thousands of pounds of debt.

"I wanted to get out into the world and really want to have a career in property but I've literally crashed at the first turning.

"It's really frustrating."

Danielle Parsons, employment partner at law firm Irwin Mitchell, stated that the car policy highlighted the obstacles young people encounter in the job market.

She expressed: "I'm concerned that this policy may disproportionately exclude younger less affluent applicants from applying for this job, particularly as this is an entry level position and job vacancies are currently few and far between.

"The response from haart doesn't point to any alternatives to this sort of blanket ban."

A spokesperson for haart responded: "It's extremely important that people who work for us use reliable vehicles for their own personal safety particularly where they travel many miles each day and often work alone.

"Evidence from motoring organisations shows that the likelihood of mechanical problems increases as vehicles get older.

"For that reason, and in line with many organisations that require staff to use their own cars for work purposes, our policy is that vehicles should normally be under 10 years old." more

How employers actually evaluate candidates today


For many pro­fes­sion­als across the Caribbean, the hir­ing process can feel con­fus­ing and un­pre­dictable. Can­di­dates up­date their ré­sumés, high­light their ex­pe­ri­ence, and ap­ply for mul­ti­ple op­por­tu­ni­ties, yet many still strug­gle to move for­ward in re­cruit­ment process­es.

Part of the chal­lenge is that the way em­ploy­ers eval­u­ate can­di­dates has changed sig­nif­i­cant­ly... in re­cent years. While many pro­fes­sion­als still ap­proach job ap­pli­ca­tions us­ing tra­di­tion­al meth­ods, hir­ing teams to­day are in­creas­ing­ly look­ing for very dif­fer­ent sig­nals when de­cid­ing who ad­vances in the process.

To bet­ter un­der­stand how or­gan­i­sa­tions ac­tu­al­ly as­sess can­di­dates to­day, I spoke with Khadi­ja Moore, re­gion­al di­rec­tor of hu­man cap­i­tal at the Uni­com­er Group, a multi­na­tion­al re­tail and con­sumer fi­nance com­pa­ny op­er­at­ing across more than 20 coun­tries. Moore is al­so a con­trib­u­tor to the Forbes Busi­ness Coun­cil, where she writes about lead­er­ship, tal­ent strat­e­gy, and the fu­ture of work.

From her per­spec­tive lead­ing tal­ent strat­e­gy across mul­ti­ple mar­kets, Moore out­lined four key prin­ci­ples that in­creas­ing­ly shape how em­ploy­ers eval­u­ate can­di­dates to­day.

Fo­cus on out­comes, not just re­spon­si­bil­i­ties

One of the most com­mon mis­takes job ap­pli­cants make, Moore says, is de­scrib­ing what they were re­spon­si­ble for rather than what they ac­tu­al­ly achieved.

"In to­day's hir­ing en­vi­ron­ment, or­gan­i­sa­tions are look­ing for sig­nals of im­pact and ex­e­cu­tion," she ex­plained. Re­cruiters and hir­ing man­agers want to un­der­stand how a can­di­date's work "moved the nee­dle."

Many ré­sumés still read like job de­scrip­tions. Can­di­dates of­ten list du­ties and re­spon­si­bil­i­ties with­out ex­plain­ing the re­sults those ac­tiv­i­ties pro­duced.

Moore en­cour­ages pro­fes­sion­als to present their ex­pe­ri­ence in terms of mea­sur­able im­pact.

In­stead of writ­ing:

"Re­spon­si­ble for man­ag­ing cus­tomer ser­vice op­er­a­tions."

Can­di­dates should show re­sults, for ex­am­ple:

"Led a cus­tomer ser­vice team that im­proved sat­is­fac­tion scores by 18 per cent and re­duced com­plaint res­o­lu­tion time by 30 per cent."

"Em­ploy­ers in­creas­ing­ly eval­u­ate can­di­dates based on ev­i­dence of per­for­mance, not just tenure or job ti­tles," Moore said. "The most com­pelling can­di­dates show how their work cre­at­ed mea­sur­able val­ue."

She be­lieves pro­fes­sion­als should re­think the pur­pose of a ré­sumé en­tire­ly.

"Your re­sume is nei­ther a bi­og­ra­phy nor a brochure - it is a da­ta set and per­for­mance record."

Write for both hu­mans and tech­nol­o­gy

An­oth­er ma­jor shift in hir­ing is the grow­ing role tech­nol­o­gy plays in screen­ing ap­pli­ca­tions.

Or­gan­i­sa­tions to­day of­ten re­ceive large vol­umes of ap­pli­cants for a sin­gle role, which has led many com­pa­nies to adopt au­to­mat­ed sys­tems to help man­age the process.

"Or­gan­i­sa­tions in the re­gion are in­creas­ing the use of tech­nol­o­gy like Ap­pli­cant Track­ing Sys­tems to process ap­pli­ca­tions be­fore a hu­man ever sees them," Moore said.

Be­cause of this, can­di­dates must en­sure their ap­pli­ca­tions can be in­ter­pret­ed clear­ly by both tech­nol­o­gy and hir­ing man­agers.

Moore rec­om­mends sev­er­al prac­ti­cal strate­gies. These in­clude us­ing clear sec­tion head­ings such as ex­pe­ri­ence, skills and ed­u­ca­tion, avoid­ing com­plex graph­ics or lay­outs that may con­fuse screen­ing sys­tems, and in­clud­ing key­words rel­e­vant to the role such as tools, cer­ti­fi­ca­tions and soft­ware.

How­ev­er, op­ti­mis­ing for tech­nol­o­gy alone is not enough.

"At the same time, the nar­ra­tive still needs to res­onate with the hir­ing man­ag­er," Moore said.

"The goal is a re­sume that pass­es the al­go­rithm and per­suades the hu­man."

For job seek­ers, this means struc­tur­ing their ré­sumé so that their val­ue is im­me­di­ate­ly clear to both au­to­mat­ed sys­tems and the peo­ple mak­ing hir­ing de­ci­sions.

Demon­strate adapt­abil­i­ty and con­tin­u­ous learn­ing

Moore al­so em­pha­sised how rapid­ly evolv­ing in­dus­tries are chang­ing what em­ploy­ers look for in can­di­dates.

"The na­ture of work is evolv­ing quick­ly due to dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion and AI adop­tion," she said.

Be­cause of this shift, em­ploy­ers are in­creas­ing­ly eval­u­at­ing can­di­dates not on­ly on their cur­rent knowl­edge but al­so on their abil­i­ty to learn and adapt.

"What em­ploy­ers in­creas­ing­ly look for is not just what some­one knows to­day, but how quick­ly they can learn and adapt," Moore ex­plained.

Strong can­di­dates demon­strate this through tan­gi­ble ev­i­dence of growth. This may in­clude earn­ing cer­ti­fi­ca­tions or mi­cro-cre­den­tials, par­tic­i­pat­ing in cross-func­tion­al projects, adopt­ing new tools or sys­tems, or en­gag­ing in self-di­rect­ed learn­ing.

"In to­day's labour mar­ket, learn­ing agili­ty is be­com­ing one of the most valu­able pro­fes­sion­al as­sets," Moore said.

"Or­gan­i­sa­tions want peo­ple who can grow as the busi­ness evolves."

This shift re­flects broad­er glob­al work­force trends. Ac­cord­ing to the World Eco­nom­ic Fo­rum's Fu­ture of Jobs Re­port, tech­no­log­i­cal change will con­tin­ue re­shap­ing in­dus­tries and job roles over the com­ing decade, re­quir­ing work­ers to con­tin­u­al­ly up­date their skills.

The grow­ing val­ue of con­tin­u­ous learn­ing is al­so re­flect­ed in com­pen­sa­tion trends. Re­search from Cours­era's Glob­al Skills Re­port shows that pro­fes­sion­als who earn mi­cro-cre­den­tials and in­dus­try cer­ti­fi­ca­tions can com­mand salary pre­mi­ums of up to 20 per cent com­pared with peers with­out those cre­den­tials, par­tic­u­lar­ly in tech­nol­o­gy-dri­ven roles.

Shape your ca­reer port­fo­lio and pro­fes­sion­al nar­ra­tive

Fi­nal­ly, Moore em­pha­sised that can­di­dates to­day must think be­yond sim­ply pre­sent­ing a list of pre­vi­ous jobs.

"The strongest can­di­dates don't just present a list of roles - they present a port­fo­lio of con­tri­bu­tions, skills and projects," she said.

One use­ful strat­e­gy is to analyse how sim­i­lar roles are de­scribed at lead­ing or­gan­sa­tions. Plat­forms such as LinkedIn al­low pro­fes­sion­als to study job de­scrip­tions across com­pa­nies and iden­ti­fy the ca­pa­bil­i­ties em­ploy­ers con­sis­tent­ly pri­or­i­tize.

Can­di­dates can then eval­u­ate their own ex­pe­ri­ence against those ex­pec­ta­tions.

"If there are gaps, pur­sue ways to close them," Moore ad­vised.

This might in­volve lead­ing projects or process im­prove­ments with­in one's or­ga­ni­za­tion, de­liv­er­ing pre­sen­ta­tions or thought lead­er­ship with­in a field, earn­ing cer­ti­fi­ca­tions or spe­cialised train­ing, or tak­ing on vol­un­teer lead­er­ship or com­mu­ni­ty ini­tia­tives.

These ex­pe­ri­ences help build a port­fo­lio that demon­strates both ini­tia­tive and ca­pa­bil­i­ty.

"The goal," Moore said, "is to lever­age and shape your ca­reer port­fo­lio in­to a clear pro­fes­sion­al nar­ra­tive - one that clear­ly ar­tic­u­lates the prob­lems you solve, the strengths that de­fine you, and the di­rec­tion your ca­reer is mov­ing."

I’m in a difficult situation at work. We broke up with a guy from another department, we dated and even lived together for a year. Now it feels uncomfortable to see him at the office and in the kitchen. It’s also hard to deal with coworkers asking questions and showing sympathy about our breakup. I don’t want to change jobs, and I don’t have anywhere else to go.
How can I get coworkers to ask... fewer questions and make work feel more comfortable? Thank you

    Sorry to hear about your breakup. Just ask for privacy during this time. This is why a lot of employers discourage dating between employees. For this... very reason and many others aside from this. In all honesty it might be best to change jobs at this point. more

Hello! I love baking and often bring cakes or cookies to share with my coworkers. At my last job everyone liked it. But at my new job some women in my department are upset. They say I’m trying to impress the boss and make them gain weight.
I just enjoy taking a break and having tea with something sweet. And I don’t want to eat it alone, so I share with everyone.
Now I’m wondering is it really a... bad thing to share baking with coworkers?

    You have a new job and a new environment. You just found out that old traditions do not work here. You do not have to go through baking for people... that do not appreciate it. You can still eat your cookies and, if someone joins you, ask them to help themselves. more

Hello
My father runs a small business where only the two of us work. There’s a lot to do, and I don’t get any days off or vacation.
I’ve tried to convince him that we need to hire at least one more person, but he refuses. He’s afraid of training someone who might become a competitor.
If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll burn out completely.
How can I convince my father to hire someone?

    I don’t think it’s a good idea to upgrade to grad studies if you’re still struggling to even get a job with your undergrad qualifications, worse... through a scholarship offer. I would rather you continue looking for a job concurrently with a master’s scholarship then go with what shows up earlier. more

I just got back from a job interview and have mixed feelings. They kept trying to confuse me and make me feel bad. At the start, they asked me to tell them about myself. I began talking about my duties at my last job, but they said they didn’t want memorized answers, they wanted real achievements.
Then they asked if I had taken a certain test. I said no (I’d never even heard of it) and they told... me that meant I failed it and got the lowest score. At the end the HR person said they had wasted their time talking to me and that their time is valuable.
Is this how interviews are done now to test how well people handle stress?

    Sorry that you had to experience that it is more revealing of their culture and character, and I’d say you dodged a toxic work environment. Why... employers think now of all the times in history is a good time to engage In psychological warfare is beyond me. Unless you’re literally performing open heart surgery in an ER—it’s not that serious. Dust yourself off and don’t allow someone who likely peaked in high school to deter you.  more
