When words are supposed to be your thing but you can’t write a short note introducing yourself to a bunch of people on the company group chat. 🤡

Writing about yourself is always the most challenging thing to do. For me anyway.

Ditto

Keep it short.

“Hi, I’m [Name]. I’m a [role] here in [city]. I like [hobby] and [food].”

Boom, done!

Also, be a little fearless. Don’t worry how they’ll judge you. I got over this a while ago. Say anything. This is your opportunity to express the smart or funny or whatever you that you are. Nerd out on the opportunity.

I’m on draft 435 which is vaguely funny and I’m also vaguely funny so I think I’m going to go for it

Are you trying too hard? You don’t need to prove that you’re a good writer with your hello in the group chat. Just be cool and say hey!

Sure, my advice still stands. I wouldn’t treat the short write up as a writing assignment, but rather just as a genuine little hello/about you. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to show your finessed writing talent no doubt. But you only have one opportunity to intro yourself as a nice new team member. You got this, don’t stress!

I think you should write exactly what you wrote for your post here. I’d laugh and think you were honest, likable, humble and funny.

haha, thanks VP 1.

I mean you could just use this post as a way to introduce yourself.

DM me three things about you, your name, where you are from and the first 12 numbers of your credit card and the three numbers on the back and I think I might be able to help you.

Sent. Also shared the colour of my mother’s eyes in case that sparks anything.

Make sure to add that wave emoji with your “hi” 👋 Couple of others at the end. Heart, rainbow, unicorn

Oooh… maybe I should just use those & skip words. 🆒. Thanks EP1

I had a miscarriage on Tuesday, my first. I didn’t even know I was pregnant. The Dr. was just as baffled by the timing, but here I am. My head is trying to be practical, but my hormones are raging. I feel like a stranger in my own body. How do women do this and work at the same time? I’m a freelancer, I’m so busy at work, I don’t feel comfortable talking to my coworkers about this. I’m trying to just get through the week but am really struggling.
