re: Company retreat, 50+ people, overnight, driving distance from New Orleans

Posted by PrettyBird on 3/6/24 at 8:38 am

[quote]could be 50-100 people[/quote] Not an overly helpful reply but the first thing to consider here is who can even accommodate that many people/rooms. It would need to be a big enough hotel that is willing to do a block. So I would start with that. One night only means you really don't want t...

re: Do you ever regret your career choice?

Posted by PrettyBird on 2/27/24 at 9:58 am

I can count at least five close friends who made a big career move - however it was between ages 25-35. Big meaning back to school to get a different degree (JD, MD, etc). I can see that being near impossible after 40's, to change into a career needing college/degrees. ...

re: What do you bring to an interview??

Posted by PrettyBird on 2/22/24 at 9:48 am

Perhaps this depends on what industry you are interviewing for. I can see your side if this is a more old-school company with a 50-60 year old doing the interview. They would likely appreciate or expect a printed resume. My interviews are majority done on video calls so it is a moot point. But e...

[quote] A couple copies of your resume[/quote] Don't do this. We're not living in the 90's anymore, everything is digital. I don't need a resume, business cards or anything else printed. Just show up with a list of questions for the interviewer and your research on the company already done....

re: Do You Run to Make Traveling Connections?

Posted by PrettyBird on 1/26/24 at 10:52 am

Leisure or work does not matter to me. I will always push to stay on the planned itinerary. It would be more of a headache to move everything from the chain reaction of a missed flight. I plan my travel with minimal wiggle room and optimal use of time. I have run to make connections and I believ...
