I recently got dismissed as an Operations Manager since it just wasn't working out (surprising my team and I...). I did Organic Chemistry in my Honours year, and moved on to Polymers and Material Science in my PhD. However, I worked in Manufacturing and CAD/CAM work. So now my education and experience don't compliment each other.
I have been applying for jobs for the past 2 months with no success. Can anyone help since I am struggling to find work or seem like a good job candidate?

Whereabouts are you in Australia? I’m based in Melbourne. If you’re in VIC, have you tried cold calling construction supplier side around South-East of Melbourne? There are plenty you can try around Dandenong and Dingley Village, for example. I can also help, see whether your experience could fit in the company I currently work for if you’re interested.

Happy to chat and send through your resume if you’d like. I work for HVAC equipment manufacturer based in Dingley for about 2 years now.

I have a promising interview at a relatively large law firm in my area (+100 attorneys) next week. The position is for a transactional role in their real estate practice group, and they are seeking someone with at least 2 YOE. I have a bit over 7 YOE with a strong real estate/commercial lit. background. Over the past two years in my current position, I've been doing a lot more transactional work. The split is around 50% transactional and 50% lit.

Hi guys,

Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
