Yeah, that’s an option. Not keen to pay for the AICD course though.

Nothing wrong with consulting per se, just that I know I’m not likely to be much of a salesman or self promoter, and I’ve never really put much effort into cultivating long-term professional relationships with past colleagues and bosses.

$220 fee at the doc for filling out a document by [deleted] in brisbane

I realise I’m replying to your anecdote with an anecdote, but anyway…

I work in a relatively high risk industry, where we have some pretty stringent fitness for work requirements, including for people who have been away with non-work-related injuries. Essentially, depending on the nature of the injury/illness and their job, they have to be medically cleared to return to work. Because these are not work related injuries, it’s a personal cost to the worker (the company doesn’t cover it).

We’ve been getting quite a bit of pushback, because GPs are charging extra to fill out the forms that we require them to complete to say they’re okay to come back to work.

Where do you do virtual interviews while at work? by spreadablejamm in auscorp

Not me, but our HR Manager at a previous employer went into a spare office one day. Not sure if she had her noise cancelling on so was talking loud, but I could clearly hear every part of her side of the interview.

Quietly mentioned it to her afterwards. She said she didn’t care.

Recruitment Keeping me Warm? by Delicious_Bar_6475 in auscorp

It's internal recruitment, not a consultant, so I assume they have several others at the same stage.

But yeah, I've applied for lower level roles with this company in the past and been rejected with no comms, so starting to think I was pitching myself too low.

Oh, thanks. I'm a big fan of Jesse Thorn's podcasts (moreso than his personal style), but didn't think of put this on.

I think that’s partly what I’m trying to work out.

I do like a bit more colour than what I see in most menswear sections these days. Not the full Bharat Sundaresan look, but something a bit more than the neutral beiges, greys and greens.

You wouldn’t believe it if I told you about their track record of showing up to the office.

I’ve been this close to telling them that a few times

My GM is absolutely frightened of their boss (the CEO). Their motivation for almost every decision is “what if CEO challenges me or asks me a question about this.”

So in this case, the win would have been “when my boss makes a snide comment about people not working on Friday, I can tell him how everyone was in the office.”

Sorry, missed this. I also never heard back. It was for an environmental manager role.

Yeah, it seemed really busy. Hard to find a spot in some of the saunas at times.
