@juliec-lemonco hi Julie, thank you for the follow up.

The conversation went well as we discussed the idea of going to a different campus along with going last week to a different campus last week; I felt a positive difference (I felt like I had achieved something for the first time during the three months I have been there).… Read more

Thanks @juliec-lemonco for your reply; I appreciate your insight and approach. I think what you mentioned is what I need to get the conversation started with my manager.

To give some more context, I am working in a tertiary education institute and the campus we’re it is heavily male dominated and students are onsite every few weeks based…

Hi everyone. I am seeking advice for how to return to work (tomorrow) after a panic attack.

I had been asking who I would be working with in the coming week (or that week) for weeks and, while it is known each week will different depend on attendance and we may not know until the day, however with that said, we still have a rough idea of who…

Hi everyone, I hope the day is going alright.

I’m starting a new job on Monday and my commute both there and back is over an hour each way; potentially I may spend around two and a half hours commuting in a day. I was going to do a run this week during the time of day I would travel to the role to help me familiarise myself with the path.

@juliec-lemonco Thanks for reaching out. I feel it went ok. I practices to keep in the moment as best as I could, your suggestion of focusing on breathing helped as it helped me anchor me in the moment and I tried my best to keep myself in the moment and had additional assistance finding something to fidget with (Blu Tack and a piece… Read more

@maddyfoley Hi Madeleine, thank you for your reply. Thanks for the suggestions, I will use the suggestion for how to use a notebook for scribbling or writing words related, I feel this will help me keep in the moment. Great suggestion about pre-written questions as a chance to interview them; I often this is also a chance to see if I’m… Read more

@april-lea Hi April, thank you for your reply. Great suggestion to video/record myself while practicing to hear and see how I come across and using ChatGPT to consider possible questions was a great help. I did this over the weekend and I got some questions that I have to think about, but I can apply my precious experience into the role… Read more

@juliec-lemonco Hi Julie, thank you for your reply. I especially love the one about keep breathing and visualisation; I have used this a few times over the weekend to help, not just in preparation for tomorrow. I also appreciate the suggestion of breathing to keep the nerves under control and to remember I also have some transferable… Read more

Hello everyone, hope the day is going ok.

I have an interview early next week (my last interview was in April and I have not worked since late June last year) and I am nervous.

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this message.

I am looking at doing some volunteer work to gain some experience in data entry (it is advertised as one day a week on Seek)to see if I will enjoy it or not. I am looking for advice to set boundaries so I don’t get taken advantage of and to not let myself spiral into thinking I am.

@tim3 Thanks for the welcome Tim. Unsure about what sort of data entry as I did not consider there might be different types/fields, this is something I will consider.
