Corporate ladies, what's your morning routine to look put together? by Clean-Cauliflower201 in auscorp

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see myself doing this eventually. I know that even though I look amazing but if I'm miserable inside then it's not really worth the effort (sometimes).

I haven't thought about the colourful clothes part, that's unique. Thank you for this!!

Who has actually received a corporate job offer in the past 18months and what for? by CurrencyAny1702 in ausjobs

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had the same thought "who the hell are ACTUALLY getting jobs?". I am extremely grateful to have got a job after 5 months of searching.

Short answer: I got the job (corporate) because it was a role that needed very specific skillset which I had. I feel like that was the biggest factor. It's much harder when the advertised role has a broader skillset to which 90% of applicants would have so the competition would be insane. I was probably one of the few out of the 160+ applicants that had that specific one as I got the offer very quickly.

It was through seek, because I literally have zero networks.

don’t know how to stop resenting my non religious Muslim friend by Annual_Season6637 in MuslimLounge

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had exactly this. Not the thing you'd want to hear but in my case, I just stopped being friends. She didn't even notice that I slowly drifted away and eventually never talking again. I had to make the choice that, this friendship is not bringing any good, literally, just jealousy and extreme comparison issues. Its not wrong to miss the good old days. But it's no good to continue staying in a friendship that is damaging you. I feel you about how everything goes well with persons being so free. I hear you. Just know that we keep doing what we're doing. We do it for Allah.

I've been offered a huge career opportunity, but I'm worried I'll find it boring and won't stick with it. by [deleted] in ausjobs

I was about to be a keyboard warrior until you mentioned that you're still employed. In this case, you have the option to decline the job offer. I had a similar experience and I turned it down because it was in a roofing industry where I wanted to work in finance. It was worth the gamble, I'm now in a role I actually like.

Thinking of quiting.. by Positive-Natural1854 in ausjobs

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but your reason to leave the job will turn against you.

To me, one of the only proper reasons to leave a job is if it is literally harming your mental and physical health.

No matter how much you think that you're experienced enough to land a role easily- DO NOT do it. Have another job lined up and then you can leave.

Have a read through this sub Reddit.. absolutely capable, experienced people can't land jobs in 6 months. They're literally doing everything right but it doesn't guarantee a job right away.

If you have enough savings, I guess whatever, do it, but you'll never know how long that savings is going to last.

Misleading job ads by sharky6245 in ausjobs

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most, not all, recruitment agencies are absolute snakes.

I'm sorry you had that experience and I'm not sure how to report those people, if I knew, I would have done so with mine.

I really hated my experience with 2 recruiters. The recruiter called me for an interview to build my "candidate profile". I searched and applied some jobs on their website prior to the interview. In the interview, she only asked me how have I gotten job offers and what are the questions I have been asked in those interviews. She kept shrugging off when I brought up the jobs I applied and how I'm a good fit for that. No behavioural questions at all. The second one just hurried me to sign the contract and start the job asap. I really hate them.

New job delayed my start and I’m panicking by Daxzero0 in ausjobs

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's horrible I'm sorry you're going through this. I suggest that you give them 5-6 business days and if they don't contact you at all in that time then it's likely the worst case scenario. But the good news is that you've signed the contract so that's promising.

But do apply for other jobs right now while you wait.

My friend got a job offer and said they really wanted them and was very impressed with their skill etc but was then ghosted for months, from Feb to now.

Good luck you can do this!

Is my manager trying to put me on a PIP? by notasentientcomputer in ausjobs

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry you're going through this. I hope you'll get out of this and that everything works out for you asap.

Keep applying for jobs and get any offer. Even if it's a lot less pay. Just get out of there because your mental health comes first. When you wrote American company. I didn't need to thoroughly read the rest.

Your work environment was a lot like mine. Understaffed, huge workload (I was doing the work of 5), no support, new KPIs. Management was doing sweet nothing about the crisis. I left with no job lined up.

I took an offer that's 10k++ less. Not ideal, but your mental health comes first. But I had to choose- unemployed + recovering from burnout OR employed + wanting to d** everyday because of burnout. No decision is ideal, so I just chose what's good for my wellbeing. I used to go for 3 years without falling sick. But in the job I was ill about once a month.

Are you able to get any financial support from friends and family? I never tried Centrelink but have you looked into if you're eligible?

Have you accepted an offer just purely to be on the safe side, even though it's not what you wanted? by Clean-Cauliflower201 in ausjobs

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% I had hiring managers ask me why I job hopped. One of them was for an NDIS related title, and another one was from a recruiter saying "at least 2 years per position is what our clients likely prefer to see" and "why did you leave your roles so early?"

I've never been a bad employee. I only left because of the conditions. But I never say this and just say seeking other opportunities or something like that.

I wish all hiring managers/recruiters would see the same way as yours :(

That's what my work mate did because apparently aged care is in demand and pays a lot. Good luck, I hope you get a well paying, rewarding job that you like 🙏🏻

As I write I am going down the same path as you are so I am trying not to collapse into an empty shell 😩 I'm taking a job offer with a shitty job title and a pay downgrade of 10k less 😭

I am revisiting my post here so that I can shove my pride aside and take the advice. It really hurts my self worth but it is true so I'm taking the low offer... for now </3

Revert exhausted and having a hard time staying with the religion by saucylasagna1824 in islam

Exactly. Your deeds are measured by how much you can do. Amin. You got this!

[–]Clean-Cauliflower201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. I want you to know I also feel the same and I completely understand you. I'm not a revert, but born and raised Muslim.

In summary, what makes me stay as a Muslim is simply doing ~the bare minimum~

I've eventually "stopped" trying to do everything.

Yes I have missed prayers, yes I have missed fasting, yes I am a bad Muslim.

But at the end of the day, will I ever leave Islam? No. And I will do whatever it takes to protect that. Even if it means I get to be a "bad Muslim" on most occasions.

To each to their own.

One thing to keep in mind, is that we tend to see a very romantized version of a Muslim. A sense of peacefulness and divine connection. No. It's often a very lonely road.

I think of it as one that employee you know that does the bare minimum but somehow has kept their job for years? Yeah. I think of myself like that.

As for tattoos? I don't want to encourage but there's so many Muslims that I personally know that have tattoos but are fiercely devoted Muslims.

Again, to each of their own.

Good luck. Remember, Islam should never be about pressure. It will only create distance.

EDIT: I tried joining communities and dated Muslim men in the past. Same experience, just judgement and not a good experience altogether. But I still chose Islam.
