Not if the headline is cute...

No. But, this sounds like a machismo thing. Put the Bukowski down and just take the compliment already.

No. Cute doesn't necessarily mean juvenile or, god forbid, feminine.

Nah My work is part of who I am, so if my headlines are cute, so am I

Clever was my peeve for a while

It's a burn that gets under people's skin. Especially if you're trying to make something funny. Cute to me always feels like "great job trying to make something entertaining. You sorta did it."

Hey! Audit manager (exp in Financial
services sector) with a Big 4 looking to
relocate from USA (been here 3 years)
to Singapore. Any suggestions on how
to land a job/offer in SG? Also any
thoughts on the EP climate right now
will be much appreciated:) (I'm very
excited about possibly moving to SG,
but want to be realistic about my
expectations). If anyone can refer me/
pass along headhunter/recruiter contacts, will
definitely be appreciated too! Thanks!
:) (fingers crossed)

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

So, this is a little embarrassing ...but as I get older my facial hair grows in darker and more quickly. I'm pretty much doing some plucking every day, this is common among the females in my family. However, I have the extra problem of those pink bumps former all over my face after plucking. So, I either have dark facial stubble or it looks like I'm battling adult acne..often these overlap some. Any suggestions on how to remove these facial hairs around my lips and chin without the bumps?

Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?

Does anyone else feel a hollownees with their lives?

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
