🐠 that kicked ass in a PMO role, question for you: any tips or micro habits that worked for you in terms of meeting firm & client expectations? Know its a loose term and is project specific but just want to know what skills I should hone.

Document every interaction and meeting to CYA

like

1. Make incredible looking slides… you’ll get more respect when you share gants and due dates etc.

2. Create as many opportunities for communication as possible… that’s the number one issue IMO … people not talking to each other enough

3. Try to create systems that can be repeatable for each track… ie status report template, back log template, etc…. You also get the benefit of being able to say XYZ track is doing this - your track is lagging behind

Interested in joining the Reserves, but I’m guessing that’s way too much with a consulting career? No ROTC or previous military experience so I’d have to go through OCS/OTS as well.
Or is it better to wait until I exit to industry and pursue my interest in the military then?
Any and all advice appreciated.

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?
