Have any of you Desi 🐠 taken a voice class? Though I don't have an accent, I sometimes struggle to speak cohesivly, & speak too nasally. Would love to speak like Jeremy Irons in Margin Call.

While there is nothing wrong with an accent per se, if you have a clear/neutral accent, it definitely helps others to understand you better. Of course, if you plan to live in a particular geographical area for a long time, then it doesn’t hurt to acquire some “regional” nuances and vocabulary on top of said neutral accent.
There are many online and in-person courses for accent training. The best ones are in-person and a bit expensive, though.

What’s wrong with an accent?

Clear ,yes. You may want to have business leaders as your role models and not a British actor. Not trying to be critical, but listen to their interviews and speeches

I have two questions. I have 10 years of experience in multiple sectors and I have been trying to gain a leadership position. I am attempting my PHR this summer but what are some tips in order for me to obtain a leadership position? Also, how long does it take to obtain another position out of state? I am trying to move to Houston but I don’t want to move until I am confident I can obtain a position in the city before packing up and leaving.

Trump just signed an EO banning any new work visas. As someone on a work visa, I am going through Twitter to find more information and I couldn’t believe the amount of hate I am seeing in this country for legal immigrants.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
