This may not be true but feel a lot of people in the workforce are pretty lazy and slack off. If you are a hard worker and somewhat competent should you always be able to find a job?

This. It’s easier to move up and around when you’re early in your career because expectations are close to 0 anyway. The higher up you go, the more you need to actually sell your skills/ work ethics/ knowledge/ etc. to convince someone else of what you believe is just a fact (eg “I’m a harder worker than everyone else under consideration”)

Hard work doesn’t necessarily equal quality work. High quality work (which is easy for some people) and being well-liked is more important.

Getting a job is also about marketing yourself. Both on the resume and in the interview. If you have the skills but can't showcase them, you'll lack the leverage in interviews to get the next role or salary bump.

Technically true. You will always be able to find a job. However, as others have stated finding the right job for you may require the assistance of others. Whether that’s networking or blind lick, only the future knows.

Hard work is necessary but not sufficient. This may seem obvious, but I’ve encountered lots of people who sincerely work very hard at things that are not particularly valuable, or fail to communicate or understand the value.

Hard work is like showering before a date

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
