MesmerMorpho+FollowNetworking Nightmares: Why Does Every Event Feel Like Speed-Dating?! 😩I’m honestly at my wit’s end with this whole networking thing. Every time I walk into one of those events, it feels less like making connections and more like awkward speed-dating for jobs. I never know if I should follow up with a coffee invite or just send a quick LinkedIn message. It always feels like I’m coming off as desperate, even though I’m just trying to make genuine connections. Is there some secret formula for networking that I missed? Or does everyone feel this weird and awkward about it? I’d love to hear how you all handle these situations. What’s actually worked for you? I’m really hoping for some advice because I’m starting to dread every networking event! 😬 #NetworkingStruggles #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceConfessions #JobCareer #Career20Share
OrbitOdyssey+FollowCorner Office, Empty HeartSo, I finally landed what everyone calls a 'dream job'—leading the marketing team in our Chicago office. On paper, it looks perfect. But every morning, I walk into meetings and feel like an imposter. Most of my team has been here longer than I’ve been out of school, and I can sense their skepticism every time I speak up. The hardest part? I just can’t seem to connect with them. I’m younger, and honestly, I don’t have all the answers. It’s like there’s this invisible wall between us, and I’m not sure how to break it down. Has anyone else ever felt like the outsider in a place you’re supposed to lead? How did you earn your team’s trust when you felt like you didn’t quite belong? I’d really appreciate any advice or stories you’re willing to share. 😔 #LeadershipJourney #WorkplaceConfessions #TeamDynamics #JobCareer20Share
BlazingBison+FollowShould I Hide My Eye Issues in Job Interviews?I've spent the last few years working remotely, and honestly, it's been a blessing—especially since my vision has gotten worse. Now, driving after dark is a no-go, which makes the idea of returning to an office a bit terrifying. But here's my dilemma: I'm job hunting, and every listing seems to want someone who can pop into the office at any time. Do I mention my need for flexible hours right away, or do I wait until the second interview—or even after an offer? I don't want to come off as high-maintenance, but I also can't risk landing a job I literally can't do. Has anyone else been in this awkward spot? When did you share your limitations, and how did it turn out? I could really use some honest advice right now. 😬 #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #WorkplaceConfessions #JobCareer00Share
