October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️  Today at Communicate HQ, we encouraged our team to “think pink” and we all pooled together to donate to Cancer Research. This is a cause that has touched some of our lives already, and will sadly touch many more in the future. Make sure to take time to familiarise yourselves with the tell-tale signs and get checked if you have any concerns. https://lnkd.in/e6cZyHdp

Common Mistakes Candidates Make During Interviews! ❌ One common mistake is not researching the company. Lack of preparation shows quickly, so it's important to know who you're speaking to and why you want the role. Another mistake is failing to ask questions. Remember, interviews are a two-way street, and asking thoughtful questions shows genuine interest. Candidates also often struggle with balancing how much they talk—either talking too much or too little. Striking the right balance is key; be concise but thorough. Lastly, not providing specific examples is a missed opportunity. Using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) can help highlight your achievements effectively. Avoid these mistakes to leave a great impression! #InterviewTips #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #Recruitment

In today's fast-paced world, Mental Health Awareness Day is much more than just a date on the calendar; it serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of looking after your mental well-being. Not only does it raise awareness of the impact mental health has on our lives, but also encourages open discussions and recognises that mental health challenges can affect anyone, regardless of their background. Mental health issues can manifest in various forms, and it’s essential to recognise when you or those around you may be affected. In the UK as of the beginning of 2024, more than 1 in 7 adults reported that they were struggling with their mental health, as well as a reported 6.9 million people taking medication for depression and/or anxiety as of June this year. These statics are a prime example of why mental health should be treated with the same seriousness as physical health. Whether you’re an individual or an organisation, cultivating a mental health-friendly environment or simply encouraging open dialogue can make a significant difference. So, make sure to take time to check in with your friends, colleagues, family, and most importantly, yourself. Prioritise your well-being, and encourage others to do the same.
