As people now commonly state on LinkedIn…. “Let me explain…”

Last week, Brittany Pietsch, uploaded a video to TikTok of her being laid off from her role as a Mid-Market Account Executive at Cloudflare.

As the video begins, Brittany sets the scene letting us know she and her co-workers had received 15-minute calendar invites all day and…

Some years ago, I felt stuck. I hit a plateau in life. I was on auto-pilot and feeling unfulfilled. Through self-work, I gradually became unstuck and got to a point where I decided I needed to do something outside of my comfort zone…

This year has seen around a quarter of a million people being laid off in the Tech space alone. I’ve said this before, I don’t see this trend coming to an end any time soon…

Today, the topic is unconscious bias. In case you're wondering what it means, I feel Bristol University's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team describe it best…

2022 was a little different. I experienced a lot of drastic changes, I stood up for myself in ways I hadn’t for some time, I took chances and I remembered some truths I’ve always known but buried. But I didn’t get the chance to properly reflect until the end of the year… and to be completely honest, I’m still reflecting now.

In last week’s article, I provided an insight into a Recruiter’s role, with a focus on some of the work Recruiters do with internal stakeholders. I definitely didn’t touch on everything but I’m hoping I provided a good enough birds eye view. This week is the second instalment focussing on the work Recruiters do with candidates…

I started off my career as a Recruiter, and because I love working for start-ups, I still dabble in recruitment from time-to-time.If you’re to go with a lot of the negative comments on LinkedIn, Recruiters often get a bad wrap…

I received a LinkedIn message from someone asking for advice a couple of weeks back, and I am yet to respond. I nearly responded, but not to answer the call for advice, but to give advice on how to approach people on LinkedIn…

On a previous episode of A Human Perspective, ‘Saying No at Work: Workload Edition’, we discussed the common occurrence of being overloaded at work, and how to push back or find ways around it. I appreciate saying “No” is easier said than done…

With more companies choosing remote working or at a minimum following a hybrid model than ever seen before, we are navigating uncharted waters en masse. Trying to understand what works and how to work in this new space, whilst considering the realities of juggling and prioritising personal lives and wellbeing…

You are just about managing to spin all your plates and stay on top of your workload. Your manager loves the work you’ve been doing and asks if you can take on an additional project…

A unicorn is a mythical creature. Beautiful, strong, mesmerising and rare.

The unicorns we know of nowadays are in the form of companies. According to cbinsights, a leading market intelligence platform, a unicorn company, or unicorn startup, is a private company with a valuation over $1 billion…

There is this fairytale image of what a good woman is. She only wears pastels and pinks, she is softly spoken, her voice like petals floating on the wind, she walks on her tippy toes so as not to disrupt the ground…

Last week I shared tips for candidates attending remote interviews. This week we wrap up with advice for hiring managers.

Though easier to schedule in, remote interviews can be so difficult because you lose so much context when not sitting in the same room. It’s harder to connect or build rapport and people are harder to read…

I’ve been actively recruiting again recently and noticed interviews are becoming easier to attend yet more difficult to navigate and judge. Not meeting face-to-face physically can mean you don’t get a good grasp of a person or company, and this can lead to mistakes being made on both sides…

When you interact with someone with an accent, what are your initial thoughts? What judgments do you make.... when a word is mispronounced or the grammar isn't quite right?
