If you are part of a firm “club” I.e. chairman’s club... do you tell that to your clients? Why or why not?

Chairman’s Club, President’s Circle, et al belong on your resume to brag when job hunting. Otherwise, RayJay is correct. You only advertise/mention that which impacts the client: CFP, CFA, etc.

People also shouldn’t advertise ‘MBA’ on their business card and email signature. Just like no one flies their B.S. degree flag. You should include the MBA in your bio but shouldn’t include Chairman’s Club in the bio.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?
