Can I just say HOW REFRESHING it is to see someone take responsibility for their mistakes/work quality rather than get defensive. GO YOU, OP! Well done. I’d love to work with you and teach you all the tricks. We all have tendencies to forget little things, we are human, but the fact you are self aware enough to acknowledge it and want to improve tells me you already have all the tools you need to succeed.

I suggest focusing on honing your skills in the areas you are weakest in and expanding your knowledge base. Additionally, taking a break to get a fresh perspective and talking to more experienced colleagues can be incredibly helpful.

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

When you look to choosing a position to apply for and lets assume you get to be choosy - will you go for a org with big HR team or smaller HR team?

The TA Manager reports to the VP of Hr as well. Sounds like a smaller HR team - are there any benefits to this move?
