Riding horses has taught me…. Assume the best intentions in people and do not attribute to malice or “attitude” what can be explained by lack of understanding and/or capacity, or even pain. Make cooperation something that has an upside for all parties. Find a personal connection.

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?
