It’s a new year, NEW DECADE, so what will you try different in your class?

I am making 70k in NYC as a mid-level copywriter with ~2 years of experience. Is this low? Not sure if it’s related but I’m the lead Copywriter on a major brand.

Would like to organize events/speaker panels throughout the year, to highlight and empower the latinx group at my agency, are there any ideas or groups I should reach out to to help kick this off?

I work with HR/Recruitment at an aquistion company. Most of our subsidiaries are small accounting firms, and we struggle with turnover/recruitment of certified public accountants. Mergers, tech and change affect the way we work and we’re overloaded with inexperienced graduates. As a result, the stereotypical accountant feels threatened, overworked and underpaid. Could really need some advice on how to deal with this issue.

What's your current hyper-fixation? It can be work related or not. Mine right now is crossword puzzle books, haven't bought one since I was a kid but I randomly got really into them this week. At work I'm reorganizing but it's less fun.

Need some investment guidance. I've about 130k cash in my savings account, of which I want to invest about $75k. Was planning to buy a home earlier but delaying that decision by another year (hoping housing mkt normalizes by then). What are some investment options for me? (Leaning towards ETFs but want to hear more options)
TIA

Hi, anyone from HSBC? I need referral I’ve the job id with me. Thanks!!

What COL Minneapolis falls in?

Hi! I just hit my two year mark at my firm and I was wondering about switching from public to private firms for the work life balance and pay. I started off as an AP Specialist at an aerospace tooling company and never left later than 5 PM. Now I’m barely making rent but have the awesome mentorship and resources to produce FS and potentially grow but long hours are affecting my well being and finances. Should I grind it out at the firm or try for staff accountant?

What’s up with recruiters at strategy / branding firms pegging someone with ad agencies on their resume as too advertising focused? This has got to stop. It’s a level of snobbery that helps no one.

Hi fishes,
In hr round they asked me,, how can I trust that you will join us as you already have an offer?
I told them,, anyway I am switching so I am trying to get as high package as possible.
After a week the hr called offering me 30% more than what I asked but the he said he will only send the offer letter one day before joining.
The offer is amazing but can I trust him or should I try for different company?

Recently single gay male from Chicago (early 30s) looking to move to a new city to find love. Between NYC, Miami, and Tampa. Any recommendations?

Just noticed that Remitly has now locked-in the rates for India transfer. Guess with continuous rupee depreciation there profits are getting compromised😂

Is anyone else insecure and petty like me and think, when the other side says "I added edits for clarity": "Hmm, for more clarity? I’ll be the judge of that."

So no real layoffs?

Hello fishes my cgpa in college was less than 6 will it affect my selection in EY i have received the offer from Ey

Does IT companies fake job roles like they show development role while attending interview but after joining they give support.Why they don't hire separately for support?Is this because nobody wants to work in support they make job description attractive to make employees join?

Our department is having a difficult time building our programs. Admin takes us for granted and doesn’t include us in any of the planning. I have a few ideas that I hope will help, but could use some advice on more ways to recruit students to our courses. The courses are relevant and engaging, but we have a trouble getting noticed on our large campus. What ways or methods do you use to draw students into your CTE programs?

How do you assess the quality of your program? Do you use the ACTE framework?

Does your center work together to cross curriculum and create projects with multiple programs involved?

Anyone interested in teaching automotive technology in an Ohio CTE high school starting in the 2022-2023 school year. I’m retiring and trying to help find my replacement.

What’s a really cool partner interaction you setup for your students?

How much is your district administration involved with your program? In NYCDOE, they’ve developed themselves as an intermediary between us and the state and have different roles to hold schools accountable, they’re working on the support piece.

Does your state/district have policies on work-based learning (e.g. activities that count to a threshold, allowed types, grant funded, etc.)?

Hi! I am currently an Early Childhood Teacher, but I am interested in becoming an Early Childhood Education instructor at a technical high school. It will be a big jump from teaching K to teaching high school students but I am really excited about the possibility of working with the next generation of teachers. What are the best things about CTE? What challenges can I expect?

If you could automate one thing about your work, what would it be?

Is there a body in your geographic area regulate CTE Programs, such as through an approval or accreditation process? Do you feel that they’re supportive or just compliance gremlins?

I'm looking for other CTE educators that teach the Education & Training Career Path. I'm curious as to how these educators structure and teach their classes under this cluster.

Are any of you using Arduinos in either Robotics or Programming?

I am getting ready to start next fall and am setting up the class around a book, and course, by Dr Peter Dalmis. Is anyone doing anything else?

Besides “It’s just an elective.” What other phrases do you wish people would stop saying about your CTE Program?

Anyone know a resource to have blueprints drawn? I have some projects that I need to have drawn up.

Would you consider yourself more of a generalist or specialist in your field? Which do you think is better for teaching a CTE program?

Does anyone else struggle with accommodations and modifications for your CTE classes? I teach complex business classes such as accounting and management and I have a few moderate SPED students who can’t handle basic information and skills. They need almost constant reminders to stay on task, monopolize class time, and keeping up with IEPs, documentation, and contact requirements doesn’t allow me any time for prep work, planning, or grading. How do you keep up?

We talk about a lot of positives, but are there any negatives in being a CTE Teacher?

If you want to move up and because a CTE Director (or other CTE positions), are there any prerequisites to make that transition?

At my school, we’re extremely fortunate to be able to discuss expansion plans. This week’s question is: What is one thing you’d like to get if you had the means (Money, Space, etc.) to get it?

Happy Holidays to all! (Aren’t we glad that 2020 is almost over?) Hopefully you are all on a well deserved break by now. Did you do anything holiday CTE related with your scholars?
