Does anyone struggle to visualize and storyboard their content? I’m good at content delivery and analytics but I have a hard time being creative and visualizing and story boarding. If so, what have you done to improve?

Use templates. Don't create from scratch.

Start messing around on a Miro board. Organize things thematically. You’ll start to see the story emerge as things become easier to not only group but see linearly

Straw-man are the best for me. I just throw everything on paper (big detail / small detail, half sentences) and then start playing around with the pieces.

When I start getting stuck or going in circles I’ll switch over to design/prettying up the slides and hope that triggers more content or thoughts on the story I want to tell.

I also speak out loud because it helps me better than keeping all my thoughts in my head.

For visualization I personally do rapid iterations. I’ll throw together the same data in as many different configurations as I can think of - very rough, only a couple of minutes a piece at max. I don’t take time to examine it much when I am cycling through this. Once I have exhausted this first round I’ll look at them all. Figure out what pieces work and which don’t. Then just rinse and repeat until I have something that works.

If you do this right it take hardly any time. I find that the end product looks nothing like I would have done if I had just gone in and tried to fit the visualization to why I thought it should be.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?
