I’ve noticed how much easier work feels when expectations are set early. When they’re not, even simple tasks can turn into back-and-forth. Have you seen how much that initial clarity changes things?

Overcommunication can be a good thing. I’d rather somebody ask me a lot of questions at the start than fumbling through, and now everyone has twice the amount of work and half the time to do it.

I have to agree with you. There is nothing worse than ambiguous expectations and goals. I always find meeting with my manager to get clarity early on helps.

Exactly! Clarity really helps.

No I haven’t

Does anyone feel that the Oil and Gas industry is the most discriminatory industry of all? They won’t even look at resume without O&G experience! It does not make sense to me as I would rather teach someone the specifics of an industry if they were a good fit. And for an industry that has so many obstacles from Government, Environmental Organizations and so on, why they are adding more bad publicity to themselves is not a great approach.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
