I’m 28 and work in workplace health and safety but I’ve totally hit a wall. I feel stuck and honestly have no clue what I want to do next. SO I have been looking at career coaches (Auckland), but they are waaay too expensive from what I’ve found (around $800 a session!!)

I'm considering going for a remote role (web developer) but I'm worried that if I do, I might not have the same job opportunities as I would if I stayed working in an office like I am now. Does anyone have any experience with this or any success stories of getting promoted working in a remote role? Thanks in advance

I am looking for a new job currently and wondering how much notice people usually give when they leave their job? I am the only receptionist at a doctors office, and I don't want to 'leave them in the lurch' but one months notice (according to some comments I've seen online) seems too long? It's a small practice so there isn't any policy or anything that I know of. Won't giving a month notice hurt my chances of getting a job?

Every Friday at 4:45pm, I spend 15 minutes jotting down: • One win (with numbers if possible) • One challenge I navigated • One thing I learned That's it. Takes 15 minutes. After a year? I had rock-solid evidence of my impact for my performance review. My boss was floored by my "incredible memory" for results. Not memory. Just good notes. 😉
