Celebrating My One-Year Corporate Anniversary 🌟 Today, July 11th, 2024 marks an important milestone in my professional journey - my one-year anniversary in the corporate world. Reflecting on this past year, the biggest lesson I've learned is the importance of separating my personality from my work persona. As an introvert during my school and college days, I often struggled to actively participate and voice my thoughts. This wasn't a major issue back then. However, when I entered the professional world, I found it very challenging to work in a team. I've come to realize that in the professional realm, certain traits are expected of you, regardless of your natural inclinations. Embracing this understanding has been pivotal in helping me adapt, communicate more effectively, and become a true team player. I now recognize that business is a team sport, not a solo sport. Cultivating the ability to work well with others, contribute meaningfully to group efforts, and deliver on the demands of the role have been key. #OneYearAnniversary #CorporateJourney #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #LifeLessons #Teamwork

As I reflect on my 3 year work anniversary, I wanted to share some thoughts: My career is more than a job, it's MY journey. Every step I take in my career is about more than just financial growth—it’s about who I become along the way. The challenges I face, the people I collaborate with, and the lessons I learn all serve as building blocks on an incredible path. It’s amazing how much a career can shape not just our work lives, but also our personal lives. It teaches resilience, adaptability, and gratitude for the opportunities to grow with those around us. So, no matter where you are on your journey, trust yourself (I know, so much easier said than done). But by embracing the changes, welcoming the challenges, and appreciating the building blocks you’re creating for your future is how life weaves every experience into something meaningful. Here’s to growth—both personal and professional—and to the privilege of doing what I do every day with amazing people. #CareerGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #BuildingBlocks #Gratitude #EmbraceTheJourney

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

🎉Reflecting Five Years of Service: A Journey of Growth and Gratitude 🎊 Reaching a five-year work anniversary is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a testament to dedication, growth, and the bonds formed along the way. As I reflect on my journey, a few key feelings stand out. #Gratitude: The foremost emotion is gratitude. I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to learn and grow, the challenges that have pushed me to improve, and the support from colleagues and mentors. Each project and task has contributed to my professional development, and I’m grateful for the trust and confidence the company has placed in me. #Achievement: There’s a strong sense of accomplishment in knowing that my efforts have contributed to the company’s success. Whether it’s completing a major project, hitting a significant target, or simply being a reliable team member, these achievements are milestones that mark my journey. #Connection: Over the years, I’ve built meaningful relationships with my colleagues. These connections have turned the workplace into a community where we support each other through highs and lows. The camaraderie and teamwork have made even the toughest days manageable and the successes even sweeter. #Growth: The past five years have been a period of immense personal and professional growth. I’ve gained new skills, expanded my knowledge, and developed a deeper understanding of my field. This growth wouldn’t have been possible without the continuous learning opportunities provided by the company. 🌻Looking Ahead: As I celebrate this milestone, I’m also looking forward to the future. There are new goals to achieve, more challenges to tackle, and further opportunities for growth. The journey doesn’t end here; it’s just another step towards greater accomplishments. In conclusion, five years of service is a significant achievement that brings a mix of gratitude, pride, and anticipation for the future. It’s a moment to celebrate the past while looking forward to the possibilities that lie ahead.

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

I recently passed my 3-year work anniversary—and many (too many LOL) more years in the People field. Reflecting on this, I can't help but acknowledge how close I once came to walking away entirely. There was a time when I felt exhausted, uncertain in my decisions, and isolated despite being party of a team. I questioned whether THIS is what I was meant to be doing... or just something I had stumbled into. But stepping back led to clarity. I had conversations, I learned more about roles, some in P&C and some not. Through those conversations, I uncovered some truths: My exhaustion wasn’t burnout—it was boredom. My uncertainty wasn't a lack of confidence - it was a lack of alignment with the company’s people vision. My isolation wasn't that I was alone - it was not having a voice or a “seat at the table” to influence change. The turning point? A conversation with a CEO who listened to my People vision and said, “Let’s lean into that.” That simple affirmation was HUGE. It reminded me how powerful it is to have someone share your vision, respect your perspective, and get excited about the same things you are. I wasn't unhappy in HR— but frustrated in how my organization viewed HR. I’ll always be grateful to that CEO. They (most likely) unknowingly played a huge role in where I am today. Without them, my career crisis could have had a very different outcome. To anyone questioning their path: take the time to listen to yourself and explore. The clarity is worth it. Even if your crisis leads you outside your current path. #WorkAnniversary #Reflections #PeopleAndCulture #Gratitude
