Birthday gift to myself - a new MacBook and subscription to Masterclass. Friends and family celebrate in the usual ways - lunch, fancy dinnner, fancy clothes, cake etc.I had never really enjoyed any of these things but I do it because it makes family happy. Have never really gifted anything to myself so decided to get something that I really want. Never had a personal laptop as I always got one from my company. the last one I bought with my own $ was a dell 15 years ago. Just wanted to share!

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA. I have been researching and learning and what I found out was to switch career minimum; needed is education (first not not certification to show you have practiced new skills). This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.

I currently create social media content for a business I’m not really interested in.
