Hi All! The deadline to sign up for the May 5th 1on1 portfolio review on Zoom helping 2020 graduates affected by COVID-19 is approaching. We need 10 more reviewers (ACD & above) to donate their time shaping the next wave of creatives.

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!

How is VISA managing the upcoming economic slowdown? Any word of slowdown in hiring or hiring freeze? How did VISA manage employees during the Covid recession? Any layoffs occur then?

COVID 19 crisis should make all states compact for licensing. Precious time was lost while nurses who wanted to work waited for states to pass emergency laws.

Would you take a freelance gig that would be a promotion (with potential to join full time) with a smaller company whose values you really agree with, OR a full-time offer for a lateral move with a larger company with teammates you know and trust? Of course factoring in all the nuances of covid. TIA!

Anyone up to get a drink before the big snowstorm this weekend? M/F welcome. North Cap Hill area. 30M. Looking for chill people, literally only met one new person since covid started.

Been on a long freelance contract at an agency. Took a much lower hourly rate with the promise of converting to FT staff after 3 months. Due to Covid that timing got pushed (understandably) but I recently learned the FT role is not available until 2022 earliest. Got a new freelance offer after 1 day of reaching out at my regular day rate. What to do?

If I originally got the Moderna vaccine, is it advisable (ie is it better protection against COVID) to get a Pfizer booster? I don’t see any info about which booster to get if you didn’t get J&J

I have a job offer in Australia and the company is offering to apply for a TSS visa for me. But they can't give me any idea on timeline. I've heard anything from a month to 9 months. Has anyone here gone through this and knows how long it would take during Covid times?

Currently not ADD but I do have severe narcolepsy with cataplexy. Everyday I wake up feeling like I haven’t slept 3 days. Cataplexy is sudden loss of muscle tone. Currently on Adderall for it and have been for 5 years. Without it and my ven. I collapse 10-20 times a day. My doctor has left the practice and replacement asshole with a Ph.d says I need a new sleep study and won’t prescribe my prescription until I have it done. I am Covid pos and now can’t get in to get a sleep study. Am I fucked?

Is it just me or does anyone else know or have an inclination that their employer committed fraud after receiving PPP loans during COVID pandemic?

How did your companies adapt to the Covid wave in the beginning? What measures did you take to ensure your business kept rolling?

Best gyms in Philly? Pre-covid I was doing a mix of OrangeTheory, F45, Corepower Yoga, with a few other places mixed in from ClassPass. Thoughts on the nicest gym? Located in Fishtown but would go down to nolibs/old city/midtown village too

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

so turns out BLR office peeps are spreading covid to fellow coworkers… leadership plz send help

Wondering if anyone has had issues with TCG/Robert Half? I was promised to be converted to full time when accepting then they just ghosted the situ. (All this is pre COVID-19 just for reference)

I was just laid off due to COVID. Felt invincible when the crisis began but now feel lost as if my career was ripped out with the tide. Slowly gaining motivation to get back on top

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while. Post covid, I love my work-life balance but I'm never out. I can't meet people sitting at my desk, and I have no local coworkers to pull me out of the house for happy hour.

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Is anyone a member of the SHRM Executive Network and do you see any value in your membership?

Do you think there’s a reason the Town Hall today was so short? Like they didn’t talk about revenue and finances etc. Are we in for some bad news soon and they didn’t want to sound too celebratory ahead of it?

Did any PM or PMM get into b-schools like CBS or NYU to make the transition? Would love to chat!

What is the best way to research criminal law opinions/court records for specific kinds of cases?

Hello Friends, I have 2 questions please help to clarify.

I am joining in CTS on September last week so when i will be considered for appraisal ?

And also for variable compensation I will get in this March right? For this we don't need to wait for a year I guess.

Anyone from CTS please refer me as I could see lots of openings right now but I am not getting calls if I applied through Naukri or indeed.

So if he physically won't leave the white house, who is tasked with the job of removing him? How does that all realistically play out?

Who else is loving the boring Biden administration? No tweets, no lies, not divisive and more actions from President Biden. Looks like 2016 - 2020 were lost years.

Welcome all, glad you made it here. One thing I've noticed since relocating back to NYC is that there are few options for frequent industry socializing and networking. Lets change that!

Thoughts on meeting at Mr. Purple or The Flowershop bar? Yay/Nay's appreciated.

Anyone interested in doing another?
