Can I get a referral for an entry level Clinical Research associate position at Clinical research organizations ( like IQVIA, Syenos Health, Paraxel) etc. Happy to get on a zoom call to discuss qualifications.

Have a coworker who volunteers for work but never ends up doing it. At what point does it make sense to go to the partner to address this? We’re both midlevels, and I’m tired of having to put in even more time every weekend to pick up his slack. If this were a junior, I’d address it with them first, but this is unacceptable from a fifth/sixth year.

Thinking of getting a camera for zoom calls because I’m tired of shifting over to my laptop and then looking over at my monitor. But I don’t want to look slick or anything.. just the usual back lit soft glow of zoom and what are you all doing so you can multitask?

Looking for advice on project management software or tools for HR consulting. Our firm doesn’t have anything that is standard or used at all, and while some of us are starting to venture into using Microsoft Teams, I feel like there are so many tools out there and we could be doing things way more efficiently. We work in small client teams (1-3 team members per client usually) and it’s a mix of strategy, tactical, and outsourced HR work. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone 🎅! I'm looking to join online communities (like this one) for people in customer success. Particularly Slack groups. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Does anybody else think that the Wharton Slack & Discord groups are kinda quiet/inactive compared to admit groups from other schools?

I shared the wrong screen in a meeting with 1 direct report (Director) and 1 of his direct reports (Sr Manager) 😱. I have 2 screens and Zoom chose the one not in front of me and I had no idea. The screen had my to do list on it and number 1 was “send resume to x” (name of recruoter and company was there). About 3 seconds after I shared the Director said “I think you’re sharing your to do list” and I immediately closed it. I have to assume they saw everything. What do I do?

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

Is the blazer / slack (or suit, no tie) combo for men going to be considered out dated in the office or still a great look?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions.

Hi PM,
Any tips on managing up? I have a new supervisor who is a bit of a micromanager. She says she delegates the task to me and will provide oversight, but in reality she just does everything herself and asks me questions that are already on the PM tool. Would love any advice that you have!

Do you think weak Indian mothers who can’t stand up to fathers and instead try to discipline their kids when they are clearly not wrong are a menace and take back the women’s movement by a hundred years? I think so!

model 3 vs the model s? I drove both and actually like the handling of the 3 better. I live in a city so the 3 would be much easier to park and move around. Cargo space seems fine. And it’s so much cheaper. What am I missing? If I wasn’t that concerned about the $ would I be silly to go for the 3?
