I tell my wife to send me calendar invites for everything

like

@a3, wife and I both work in consulting, we both send each other calendar invites for regular things, like oil changes, parties to attend, etc. honestly it’s just easier to keep track of it that way since our time together on the weekend is limited. We also send each other dinner options through text with the caveat “feel free to veto any of these or propose something else.” That’s exactly what I send my team!

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies. Has anyone had the experience of doing this? I know some agencies have strict hiring protocol but I am incorporated. Any advice would help! Thank you

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
Thanks
