I need advice on how to build a helpful network. I'm in an industry where there’s a lot of competition, so naturally the people I work with aren't going to share the best work opportunities. How can I expand my network in other directions, so my connections are useful for referrals? Should I be looking at more professional networking events?

AI is changing the way we work. It makes tasks faster, but it also reminds us of the skills only humans have: empathy, creativity, and critical thinking. As we adapt, which of these feels most important to you?

Kia ora, I’m Suhani Balar, a fully registered Physiotherapist with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand, holding a current Annual Practising Certificate (APC). I am now looking for a full-time physiotherapy opportunity in the Wellington or Kāpiti region where I can continue to support people in achieving their health and wellbeing goals. If you know of any suitable opportunities, or if your organisation is hiring, I’d love to connect and have a conversation. Ngā mihi nui, Suhani Balar

I'm hoping for some insights from ppl in supply chain logistics. I’m a part-time inventory coordinator at a big company and have the chance to move into a full-time operations role for way more pay. BUT there's weekend work involved. I do want to move up the ranks and I don’t mind the grind, but I’m keen to hear stories from people already working in similar logistics roles. Do you enjoy it? Is it worth it? Are there any roles where you can move to a more structured 9-5?

I need advice. My workplace unfortunately has a culture of (some) people feeling the need to prove themselves constantly. I just like to put my head down and get my work done, but find I am often asked to weigh into discussions that I feel are slightly combative. But It’s not like I can just ignore people in my team when asked for my professional opinion. How can I navigate this? What is a polite way of opting out of non-productive workplace 'rivalry'?

Starting a new job soon and am SO NERVOUS. 😭 I know it's probably dumb to worry about, but I want to make sure I'm 'making friends' from day one 😅 How can I make a good first impression on people?

Would you stay in the same company and ladder up/up skill or change company and take different challenge?

Curious—have any of you ever made a big jump in your career? Like going from marketing to UX, or from finance to HR? I’d love to hear how others navigated it. What helped you break into a new field? Did you take courses, build a portfolio, or just… jump in?
