Probably best to expect that someone will and prepare for it. I have very low expectations of people when it comes to cultural sensitivity in general, but beyond that, if you expect it, you can release the anxiety. And then if nothing happens, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Are you in a large city? If so I can’t imagine people aren’t familiar with it?

How did it go? I think it's pretty logical for people to not know/ask questions/make comments about things that seem unusual to them and their culture. Hopefully nothing offensive though. I feel like mehndi is somewhat familiar from pop culture images...

I’m embarking on a new healthy eating journey. While I sat down to make a plan, things seemed pretty straightforward, I know what’s healthy and what’s not. And I wondered why I haven’t been successful thus far. I’m still dwelling over this, but I’d love to hear thoughts on the pitfalls that prevent healthy eating just so I can be aware of them and proactively address them. Thanks so much in advance for sharing thoughts and anecdotes!

I am a CPA based out of Canada. I have 7 years of corporate finance and FP&A work under my belt. My fiancé will be starting dental school in NZ by Feb’23. Aiming to be a direct flight away from her, I have started looking into work opportunities in Australia. Can any expat here share their experience with getting a job as a foreigner? Are there any recruitment firms that specialize in working with expat talent? What was the biggest culture shock moving to Australia?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Hi creatives! I need your help here. A quick background:

Junior copywriter based in Toronto here. Came to Canada about a year ago and did an internship at Klick Health.

Once it ended in late August, they didn't take on ANY intern full time. Been job searching for the past 3 months. Would really appreciate any leads/insight on some entry level gig or internship that might be available in this city. I know it's year end and it's hard, but I am still hopeful as I have seen people still get hired.
