🎓 Reflecting on My First Year Post-College: As I mark one year since graduating and six months into my role as a Marketing Associate at Digiday. Here are some lessons I’ve learned that might resonate with others navigating the early stages of their careers: 1. Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities 🌟 I’ve always strived for perfection and dreaded making mistakes, but I’ve come to realize that mistakes are an essential part of growth. It's inevitable, and often the fastest way to learn. 2. Finding the Right Job Takes Time ⏳ It took me six months to find a role that felt like the right fit. I’ve learned that it’s okay to be selective and hold out for opportunities that align with your goals and values. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve found at Digiday and the alignment it has brought to my career aspirations. 3. Remote Work Can Foster Strong Connections 🌐 Working remotely can sometimes feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m fortunate to be part of a team where everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming. Our HR team (aka Andrea Sontz) works hard to keep us connected through monthly calls, weekly icebreaker chats, and other initiatives. Finding the right company and people can make remote work a fulfilling and engaging experience. 4. Ask Questions 🤔 Don’t hesitate to ask questions—there’s no such thing as a dumb question. You’re surrounded by experienced people who have valuable insights to share. Seeking clarity not only helps you do your job better but also shows your eagerness to learn and grow. 5. Celebrate Small Wins 🏆 Amidst the daily tasks, it’s easy to overlook small victories. At Digiday, we use Nectar to recognize and celebrate achievements. There’s no better feeling than receiving a shoutout and Nectar points for helping out a colleague or hitting a goal. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and appreciated. #CareerGrowth #Marketing #RemoteWork #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerLessons

Codersbrain presenting Brindha Palanichamy, who believes that The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. All dreams are within reach. All you have to do is keep moving towards them, Brindha does a fantastic job with it. My career journey began in a somewhat unconventional manner. After a significant gap since my graduation, I embarked on a new path as an IT Recruiter, and I must admit, I was filled with excitement at the prospect of diving into this role. One question that frequently arises from others is, “Why did you choose the recruitment field?” My answer is simple: I genuinely enjoy my work. Each day brings the opportunity to meet new people, which is something I find incredibly fulfilling. Of course, the role isn’t without its challenges. One recurring issue in the recruitment field is dealing with last-minute surprises from candidates on their joining dates. It’s a common scenario, but I’ve found that having a strong backup plan is the key to managing these unexpected situations effectively. One of the aspects I particularly appreciate about my job is the ability to work remotely. The flexibility of remote work has allowed me to find a good work-life balance and thrive in my role. This is one of the biggest reasons why I chose to work with Codersbrain— they offer a remote work option that aligns perfectly with my lifestyle. Recently, I took the exciting step of restarting my career, and this move has reignited my passion for growth and development. The role has provided me with a sense of self-motivation whenever I faced challenges, and I can now see my career trajectory moving upwards. Looking ahead, my goal is to advance to a team lead position, where I can leverage my knowledge and experience to contribute even more effectively. I’m eager to continue learning and growing in this field, and I’m confident that the future holds great opportunities for me. I’m excited for the journey that lies ahead. #EmployeeStory #EmployeeMotivation #TeamInspiration #EmployeeJourney #WorkplaceSuccess #MotivatedEmployees #SuccessStories #CareerGrowth #EmployeeAchievements #InspiringColleagues #EmployeeExperiences #WorkplaceTriumphs #MotivationalMonday #EmployeeChallenges #DedicatedTeam #TeamSuccess #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceMilestones

making recruitment suck a little bit less | Founder @ Zygo People | 50+ recs | DMs open to discuss ways of working together
Are you considering going to market for a new hire? Have you looked internally first? If not, you should. Internal mobility programs should be a priority for any business as the results can save you thousands. LinkedIn data shows that people who move internally become 3.5x more engaged and stay 41% longer compared to those who stay in the same role. Building this type of program can be a lot of upfront work, but it doesn't have to be an all singing all dancing program from the start. Internal comms about what people want is an easy place to start through 1-2-1s and yearly reviews and then putting a plan in place on how they can get that hands on experience without effecting BAU. Article is in the comments for more details and other ways to implement internal mobility programs. #zygopeople #internalmobility

Community Management Team Lead @ The Attention Seeker | Community Facilitator @ The Marketing Club | Building and Nurturing Online Communities
I’m looking to be put out of a job. If I do my job right, 1️⃣ This department will continue grow. 2️⃣ I will most definitely be out of a job. And look, there has been a couple wins so far: 👉🏻 I’ve succeeded at increasing our department’s operational efficiency by 300% since stepping into leadership. 👉🏻 I’ve onboarded team members and trained the team up to a level where they are able to execute for clients exceptionally. And while we still have a fair bit to figure out as we go, we’re very much on track to get where we need to be as a whole. Quite frankly, at this point, it doesn’t even really have to do with me. I laid the foundations, made room for my team to follow their best judgement, and just provided support and guidance where required for this team.😌 We’re now at a point where we’re looking for yet another potential star in community management in the form of a comms intern. We have a couple of interviews lined up throughout the next two weeks to meet some new faces, all enthusiastic about the prospect of working with communities.💗 In the words of Steven Bartlett, your destination will be defined by the sum total of ingenuity, ideas and execution of the group of people that you assemble. With that in mind, let’s just say that I’m excited to be finding yet another marketing superstar in the making.⚡️

Every day is a brand new opportunity to skyrocket my career 🚀. Wanting something means trying or working on the art of not saying "I don't know." When I'm given a new task, even if I haven't done it before, I see it as an opportunity and am eager to take it on✨. My biggest wish is never to say "I don't know." Instead, I want to say "I will learn and do it" 📚. This mindset allows me to grow, learn, and take on new challenges with confidence 💪. #oppurtunity #newtask #employee #office #digitalmarketing #digitalmarketer

Data Strategy & Analytics | PowerBi, SQL, Python | Build Performances at Scale & Empower Strategies with Data
I had an eye-opening chat with some friends recently. We discussed the nitty-gritty of our career journeys and what really fuels our ambition. It got me thinking about how we perceive career growth and the different paths we take to get there. You know, it struck me that not everyone is gunning for that corner office or aiming to climb the corporate ladder. My friend, for instance, is all about deepening their role and honing their expertise, rather than constantly chasing promotions. And you know what? That's just as ambitious and admirable. But here's the kicker: when we do want to move up, it's not always about being cutthroat or stepping on toes to get there. Personally, my drive to climb stems from a desire to scale my impact and have the freedom to innovate and contribute in a bigger way. It's funny how we often box ambition into this narrow definition, right? In reality, it's as diverse as we are. Some of us thrive on exploring different avenues horizontally, while others are all about that vertical ascent. And you know what? Both paths are equally valid and essential. So, let's shake off those old-school notions of career growth and celebrate the myriad ways we can make an impact and find fulfillment in our work. Because, at the end of the day, it's not about the title or the corner office—it's about finding joy and purpose in what we do. I'd love to hear your take on this. How do you define career growth? Let's keep the conversation going! #careerpath #growtogether #careerdevelopment

Sr. People & Culture Specialist at TOPREMIT |Recruitment Consultant| Ex-GLINTS | Ex-EKRUT | AIESEC Alumni | We're Hiring!
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK THERE??? Numbers of people asked me this question, knowing that I work here, in Medan, the city I chose to move over and live in with my little family. You perhaps have ever heard or read one of my post, that I felt nervous yet excited for this is a new town, new place, and then got into a new company I was totally blind about. Moving to one city and working there meaning letting ourselves immerse with the condition, situation, regulations applied in that city, not comparing with what people get in another cities. Being at Topremit for more than 2 years has given me experiences of going on rollercoaster rides. WHY? Because there were a lot of new things I began to learn, and they were completely different compared to what I did in my previous career as a recruitment consultant. Here, I witnessed my self pushing this very individual to do things that have never been done here at the company. I learn by doing, researching, making mistakes, grow and repeat. I started to work here with around 30 people and witnessed this company growing to around 100 people at the moment. And I could say that, there are many positions here are "NEW" meaning you're privileged to be the one getting your hands on and own it. With that being said, I always tell my candidates, "If you're looking forward to change position or level up in a short time, we cannot promise you that and we don't put that in the first place for 100 hundred people is still small number considering all departments we have here at Topremit where our organizations' tree it not tall yet. But if you're looking for a place to push yourself to grow, and willing to be out of comfort zone, then come and join us". I cannot find the exact word to describe that feeling, but if you're curious about that too, come and be part of us at Topremit! https://lnkd.in/gpDBKmQD #openhiring #opentowork #jobalert #storytelling

Customer Support Manager || Virtual Assistant || Ready to make your customers feel heard and cared for!
Welcome to a new week of opportunities! I will like to share my secrets to retaining and generating customers when I worked in a Wellness organization. Let's start with Communication and knowing your customers I am very good at interacting with people, even if I have never met you before. As a Customer Support Manager at Triple T and I knew coming in contact with clients was a part of my day to day activities. I started studying my customers, I knew what to say to make a customer very happy and bring smiles. I was so good that even customers that stopped coming for a while whenever they come back after checking on them, they are always shocked that I can remember their full names 🤭. There was this client that we didn't start on a good note but we later became friends because I devised a means to access him and this helped the company because he was always ready to support to the company's growth. I achieved this by just casually chatting with him one day he came to use our facility. He was unable to understand a particular equipment, so I explained it to him in a child-like manner and afterwards he apologized for how he spoke to me the first day he resumed and even gave me incentives saying how he didn't know i was this jovial and easy to interact kind of person. Not quite long ago the Bank representative handling our account called me and was telling me how much she has missed seeing me and how I made things very easy for her when I was at Triple T. So good communication can never be overemphasized, learn how to read your clients either through their voice when you call them on the phone or the way they reply your chat or physically. This can help give an idea of the mood that clients is in at that moment and how you can handle in an amicable way. Happy New week guys! #customerservice #customersupport #positivevibes #positivemoods #helpingcustomers #newweek #newopportunities #ITsupport #Virtualassistant #remotejobs #opentowork
