📚 Interesting Reads
Lazy writing or extremely efficient!? Great article on "Do emojis help or hurt our language? Looking at George Orwell’s thoughts on English and Gretchen McCulloch’s analysis of internet language. Useful quick read that might help you think about your communication style at work!
At least they replied? Ever wonder why that dream job didn’t get back to you? Turns out, maybe it’s just a few years late! 🏍️ Tizi Hodson, who once applied to be a motorcycle stunt rider in 1976, finally got her ‘response’—half a century later, thanks to a misfiled letter behind a post office drawer. While her application gathered dust, Tizi didn't miss a beat: she became a globetrotting stuntwoman, snake handler, pilot, and flying instructor.

Hey everyone, looking for some guidance. Scenario - I am very excited to start a new role in a couple of weeks as recruitment manager for a digital transformation consultancy. Despite being 25+ years old and over 400 people I am their very first dedicated recruitment hire, my job will be to set up the TA function, improve processes and ultimately grow the business to around 700 in the next 3 years.I understand it is a big job and I am trying to prepare by writing down a list of the things I need to prioritise within the 1st month or so. Some of this stuff I already know but I wanted a complete list, my question is if you were approaching this scenario, is there anything major missing from this list that I should really add?
Thanks (Link to conversation)
