New years is next week! As we get closer towards the end of the year, we need to spend time and reflect on the things we have accomplished this year. What are some things you are proud of this year? Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?

I was promoted to manager this year and it's been a huge opportunity for me to learn, grow, and be able to put away more in my savings. I feel like I've already learned so much but I know that there is still a ton I need to learn in the coming year. Feeling optimistic though as we start the new year

Congrats on the promotion!

It's this week, we are almost there! So far as work went, the year was okay, nothing special. I did keep some of my personal resolutions, which mainly related to exercise and watching my weight. And I think I'll renew those resolutions for the coming year.

Very nice! I’m working on mine too!

Client counterpart and I were discussing a Consultant and the client told me he didn’t want this guy because the consultant is in his 50s. I quietly told the client that cannot be a reason plus I am in my 50s and you should have seen the client back paddle with compliments for me. Just a weird situation. Ageism is real.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
