I don’t feel that I am well suited to my current job. How do I work out what I am passionate about?
I hate my job but I feel like I should be grateful to have a job. I feel sick about having to stick it out here. I know that this is not where I should be? (We can weave in the ’status hrs heart’ stuff here)
I don’t feel that I fit into my current workplace. I have been so much happier working from home and am dreading the day when things return to normal. What should I do?
I am really struggling managing staff whilst working remotely. Any tips?
I am quite a private person do I really need a LinkedIn Profile?
I had been on a career break for a year after having my 2nd child before Covid hit. I was planning to start looking in June but now I am homeschooling kids and don’t even have time to look. I feel that recruiters won’t even look at me with such a huge gap on my resume. Help!
