I’m a Recruiter looking to pivot into a Generalist role. I have 6 years of experience in HR started as a Hr Associate and then the rest strictly in recruitment. Any advice for remote generalist work out there?

Where have you looked so far? There is a ton of remote work out there still. My only concern is how long it will actually remain remote.

Remember when going remote you still need to take into account your time zone.

Assuming you're lacking opportunities to move up internally? Start updating that resume, reviewing job descriptions, and seeing where your skills line up. May be worth it to look into any relevant certifications if you see any popping up at your preferred companies/industries.

Looking for input on how to handle a direct leader that is hot &cold. 1 yr ago my leader promoted me & has indicated she wants to mentor me to take her role when she retires (director). However, her behavior towards me changes from week to week, sometimes she is very supportive and encouraging then she switches to making critical or harsh indirect comments that are not about the results of my work but imply she would do it differently. How would you handle approaching this with your superior?
