I live in the US. English isn’t my first language. I do fine with my English communication skills in a formal work environment. However, I struggle to have a smooth conversation in an informal setting e.g., elevator talks, office dinners, etc. I also find myself less witty compared to how I speak in my native language. Are there any online classes or clubs that could help me with the required skills? I haven’t found those Udemy type courses useful. So wondering if there are any others

I had a phone screening with a recruiter (who is a TD Industries employee- not outside recruiter) I asked specifically when they were looking to hire on, he said a month give or take a few weeks. That was on September 9th. I sent a thank you followup email the next day with letters of recommendation like I had mentioned in our conversation. I sent a second follow up email asking if they had made any decisions on who will be asked for inperson interviews, he said....check comments plz 🙏

Would like to know specifically about Queer inclusion at SocGen

Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work.
