As I am approaching what would have been my 10-year work anniversary with my former employer in the next couple of days, it's a poignant moment to reflect on the significant chapter of my career that I shared with the company. While circumstances may have led me on a different path since then, the memories, experiences, and lessons learned during my tenure hold a special place in my professional journey. 😇 Thinking back on my time with my former employer, I recall a multitude of memories and milestones that defined my career during those past years. From my very first day on the job to pivotal projects, team successes, and personal achievements, each moment contributed to my growth and development personally and professionally. Not forgetting the highs and lows, the challenges overcome, and the camaraderie shared with colleagues who became friends. I'd like to believe that my contributions to the company over the span of almost a decade undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the organization and those I've worked with. Whether it was through innovative ideas, stella performance, or mentorship of others, my presence was felt within the workplace. My dedication and commitment to my role helped, one way or the other, drive the company forward and contribute to its success. As I approach what would have been my 10-year work anniversary with my former employer, I take this opportunity to look ahead with optimism and gratitude for the experiences that have shaped me. While my journey may have taken a new direction, the foundation laid during my time with the company continues to influence my professional growth and aspirations. I will embrace the lessons learned, the connections made, and the memories cherished as I embark on the next phase of my career 🙏. Though the milestone of a 10-year work anniversary with my former employer may now be a bittersweet reminder of the past, it serves as a testament to my DEDICATION, RESILIENCE, and CONTRIBUTION in the professional realm. Here's to honoring🎖 the journey that brought me to where I am today and to embracing the future with enthusiasm and open arms. 🌟 💐

Yesterday marked my second work anniversary! While milestones like 1, 5, or 10 years are often celebrated, I believe every step forward deserves recognition. These two years have been a journey of learning, growth, and connection—something I don’t take for granted. In the whirlwind of day-to-day routines, it’s easy to overlook how far we’ve come. So today, I want to pause and reflect: Gratitude: I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunities I’ve had, the mentors who’ve guided me, and the teammates who’ve collaborated with me. Each conversation, challenge, and success has added value to my personal and professional journey. Growth: Over these two years, I’ve faced new challenges, developed skills I didn’t know I had, and built relationships that inspire me every day. The moments of discomfort have often been the ones that pushed me to grow the most. Appreciation: Life moves fast, but taking a moment to appreciate where I am reminds me of the effort and support that brought me here. It’s not just about the milestones—it’s about the journey. Never forget to celebrate your progress, no matter how big or small. Growth happens in the day-to-day, and every step forward matters. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey—you’ve made it meaningful. 💼 #WorkAnniversary

🎉 Today marks my 5-year work anniversary! 🎉 The photo below is from that time—feeling a bit apprehensive and uncertain, but ready to step into the unknown. Five years ago, I reminded myself not to be afraid to take the next step, and I’m so glad I listened to my own advice. No regrets, only growth! My journey at SteppingStones has been an incredible one, filled with growth, challenges, and rewarding experiences. Over the past five years, I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing colleagues tackling a variety of projects. From navigating the highs and lows of a global pandemic to embracing remote work, we adapted to a rapidly changing work environment together, truly taking all of the changes that came our way in stride. It certainly made us all more resilient. These experiences have pushed me to grow both professionally and personally, expanding my skill set and broadening my perspective on the evolving world of work. I am truly thankful for the support, collaboration, and opportunities I've had along the way. The journey has truly been fun, with lots of adventures. Whilst this milestone is a reminder of how far I’ve come, it is also my motivation to keep learning, growing, and pushing boundaries. Here’s to the next chapter—looking forward to what the future holds! 🚀 #WorkAnniversary #Gratitude #Growth #Milestones #SteppingStones

Celebrating my 1 year work anniversary today. Here are 3 things this job has taught me: From returning after a 2 year sabbatical, to tackling an entirely new industry. I’ve grown a lot. Both professionally, as a Recruiter, and personally. Here are 3 of my biggest takeaways from these past 12 months 👇 1. Have the difficult conversations A client is passing. Pick up the phone. Offer pulled. Pick up the phone. A candidate no showed their interview. Pick up the phone. Nobody likes to be the ‘bearer of bad news’, but, if you can stomach the difficult conversations you’ll find people appreciate and respect you more. 2. Trust your gut Not every opportunity, candidate, or client is worth going to bat for. That said, the ones you truly believe in. The ones who you can tell are genuinely engaged and invested. Go the extra mile for them. Not only will it help you achieve your own goals, but the relationships you’ll build in the process will pay dividends. 3. Detach from the outcome Recruiting can be an emotional rollercoaster. We win a lot. We lose more. Removing myself from the desired outcomes has allowed me to focus on what’s important. The controllables (attitude, activity, collaboration, etc.) And it’s made the day-to-day a lot more enjoyable. Excited to see what’s in store over these next 12 months! Thanks again for the opportunity, Patrick Corrigan! #recruiting #recruitinginsights #workanniversary #personaldevelopment

5 years ago, I opened my online business. I had no idea how to build a website, manage marketing, or get clients. But, I had a strong desire to help people with their careers. At first, it was challenging trying to figure out the different aspects of building and running an online business. The marketing, branding, and sales were all so confusing. However, my passion for helping people kept me going. As I started helping more people and witnessing their success, my confidence grew. Seeing the results of my work, with clients getting multiple interviews and landing new jobs within weeks, was extremely rewarding. Today, reflecting on my 5 year work anniversary, I realize how far I’ve come. It’s important to appreciate what you have achieved, and remember that today was once a dream you had. Quality, focus, and enthusiasm are crucial, and when you have these, everything else falls into place. This is just the beginning! ✨ Focus on work that aligns with your values, gradually build your standards, and most importantly, enjoy the process. I’ve learned to really enjoy what I do each day rather than just waiting for the outcome. I am confident that if you stick to your plan, you’ll achieve your career goals and find meaningful and inspiring work. You deserve it! 👏 P.S. Celebrating my 5 year work anniversary! 🎉😊

This past July, I hit my 2-year work anniversary and better late than never to reflect! So here are 5 key takeaways from my journey so far. 1. Things do get easier (I promise!): It's not hard to remember my first day at work. I got a stress headache in the middle of the day, and had to take a nap. I'd get panic sweats every time I had to prepare for a call, and even as I changed verticals / roles, I felt like it never got easier. But now in hindsight, it's easy to see that slowly but surely, I became more confident in my capabilities. When you're starting out, you're always starting from the bottom, which means you can truly only go upwards. Eventually, you'll look back and see how much you've grown. 2. Experiment - you need it: There's a lot of opposing thoughts when it comes to the idea of experimenting, but I personally believe experimenting at the start of your career sets you up for success later. Whether you're planning for higher education or continuing up the ladder, when you try out different profiles or organisations, you get a better idea of what excites you and which profiles fit your goals and skills. But give things ample time, before you decide what works and what doesn't. 3. Take matters into your hands: I've worked in start-ups and I've worked in corporate, and one thing that always holds true - waiting gets you nowhere. Timelines are tight, people are busy and the probability of someone telling you what needs to be done, and how to do it are slim. It's a tough to hear, but it's true. So get started on figuring things out and then chart out where you need assistance. (Doing this made me more confident and I ended up figuring my way around projects much faster.) 4. Underselling yourself does you no favours: This goes out especially to all young women out there. For the longest time, I thought going above and beyond with my work, without making it apparent, was the way to go. After all, they would notice right? WRONG! No one notices unless you point it out. You're your biggest champion so never fail to make it known about what you're owning. Keep track of your tasks and projects and let your manager know (at the appropriate time, of course). This also leads to my next point - 5. Ask without shame: The world of work is built on asks across every way. We ask from vendors, partners ask from us. So it makes total sense for you to openly ask about what you want. Whether it's the promotion, the raise, the change in profile or tasks - whatever. Don't shy away, but do make sure you have the proof to back it up. 6. It's work, nothing personal: And finally, don't ever lose sight that it's just work. It's a part of your life, but not the entire thing. Learn to take feedback with a pinch of salt (feedback, not disrespect) and find a circle for yourself outside of the cubicle. PS: here's a look at when snacks in office matched my calendar - we love a fun coincidence. #work #anniversary #corporate #takeaways #thoughts #freshers

Work anniversary thoughts... Hmm, it feels surreal to be typing this out – my 14-year work anniversary, path of growth, challenges, and countless memories. Don't get me wrong, that I was never thinking if I should have taken a different path, or if there's a grander adventure waiting just beyond the horizon. But then I remember something - I like what I do. I've been entrusted with a responsibility that's both daunting and exhilarating-ensuring Occupational Health and Safety. Working across borders, navigating diverse regulations, and collaborating with colleagues worldwide, every day brings a new puzzle to solve and a new life to safeguard. It's a role that carries weight - the weight of responsibility for the well-being of others, where a misstep could mean more than just a missed deadline. But amidst the seriousness, there's a joy that's hard to explain. Yes, the challenges can be relentless, but they've also been my greatest teachers, shaping me into the person I am today. So, as I pause to celebrate this milestone, I'm filled with gratitude - for the journey that brought me here, for the opportunities that pushed me to grow, and for the incredible people who've believed in me and walked alongside me. Here's to 14 years of learning, of laughter, and of making a difference, one step at a time. Here's to the next chapter, whatever it may hold! #worklife #evolution #anniversary

As July wraps up,I have hit a milestone -my 1-year work anniversary as a Projects & Events Officer at C40 Cities. 🎉 I don’t usually make a fuss about work anniversaries, but this one feels Special. It’s not about my extraordinary achievements, but about the power of small, meaningful moments that make our daily work fulfilling and enjoyable. In just a year, I have experienced so much that goes beyond the job description (𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵!)—lessons in leadership, collaboration, and the essence of a positive work culture. Here’s what stands out: 1. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: A huge shoutout to whole incredible team and extended team as well their constant guidance and unwavering support. Their belief in my abilities and their encouragement make every challenge feel like a shared mission. 2. 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: At C40, I have been entrusted with meaningful tasks and given the freedom to take ownership. The genuine appreciation from my team and leaders makes even the smallest wins feel significant. 3. 𝗔 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁: The little things matter here—like not being contacted for project updates while on leave and the generous two-week well-being break we receive. These gestures create an environment where respect and trust thrive. Personal message to share :- While waiting nervously for my interview results, my dad offered his last words of wisdom that have stayed with me. He said, “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬—𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 3-𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧-𝙤𝙡𝙙—𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙚. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙨, 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨, 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙣. 𝙃𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙧. 𝙎𝙤, 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙗.” Initially, I misunderstood my dad’s advice, feeling disheartened as if he was suggesting that not getting the job would be acceptable and that I was less deserving. However, once I secured the position, I realized he was emphasizing the importance of dedication and attitude I bring to any task are what truly matter. As I celebrate this milestone, I’m reminded of my dad’s wisdom and how it has guided me to bring my best self to work every day. As I reflect on the positive impact C40 Cities has had on my professional and personal growth, I am motivated to contribute even more to our shared goals and continue learning. Here’s to many more years of making a difference together! 🌍 #Journey #Gratitude #PositiveImpact #C40Cities #Growth

🎉 Work Anniversaries: What Do They Really Mean? 🎉 It’s easy to mark another year at work, but does that anniversary actually mean something? 🤔 If you’re in a job where growth feels stagnant, promotions are rare, the environment is toxic, or every day feels like a routine, the anniversary is just another reminder of time passing ⏳—without real progress. On the flip side, working somewhere that challenges you to grow, that values your unique qualities, and encourages you to constantly evolve—that’s where anniversaries truly matter. 💪 It’s about finding a place where you feel appreciated, where you’re learning, and becoming a better version of yourself—both professionally and personally. 🌱 A meaningful anniversary isn’t about counting the years. It’s about reflecting on how far you’ve come and how much you’ve grown—because that’s what truly matters. 🙌 #cvforsuccessgr #WorkAnniversary #GrowthJourney #BetterEveryDay #WorkCulture #ProfessionalGrowth
