I’m starting something new at work and it’s a bit nerve-wracking.
Trying to stay confident and just go for it.
What helps you push through the nerves?

You got this. That first-step feeling is always a mix of nerves and excitement. When I get in my head, I try to remember a time I did something new and it worked out, even if it wasn’t perfect. Also, a quick pep talk in the mirror helps more than I’d like to admit.

Thanks for your advice ☺️ pep talks in the mirror work wonders.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Just getting little depressed after being rejected from interview. Anyone else has the same feeling.Could have done better.

Currently looking for production planning role remote or hybrid.will be moving to Fort Worth Texas next spring!

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

Applying to roles within the same federal agency. I know you need one year within the probationary period, but can I apply to a higher GS level? For example, if I'm GS 9, receive a promotion to GS 11 at the end of probation, would i be able to apply to GS 13 roles if I'm qualified? Tried researching this for hours but only found info on applying to other agencies.
