Unemployment Benefits in New York

I am in the last round of interviews! Exciting but can't put my hopes up quite yet. My first two interviews had pretty standard questions and I was able to answer them very comfortably and even felt confident (which is rare bc normally i am shaking in my boots). The second round, they barely asked 3 questions and were basically selling me the role (which I think is a good sign). One of the questions were, "Tell me a time you failed". I answered this as honest as I could and it was well received. However, I don't really have many failure stories as I try not to fail significantly. Maybe small mistakes (as i am writing this, i am thinking small mistakes might be a story I can share, but not sure.) Next Interview is a Panel interview, do you think I will be asked the "tell me about a time you failed" question again? Lastly, what are some Panel questions, you've received in the past? Just want to over prep. Thank you in advance!

These aren't fluffy, feel-good days. Well, they don't need to be, if we give them their proper attention. Gratitude contributes to our well-being, joy and success. Cultivating more of it on a regular basis has dramatic, positive impacts on our work and life, and it's free and easy to access. If you missed my post about it and how to add more of it to your life -- and why you career will love you for it -- you can read it here: https://lnkd.in/esH9v5qX In a similar spirit, we have all the power within us to dream big, act on these dreams and support others as they pursue their biggest aspirations. While this is another free and easy tool to access, how many of our dreams have we accomplished? How many have we forgotten? Dismissed? How many of us have what we consider our dream job? According to research, 90% of us don't! In today's post on my blog "Reimagine," I share 11 ways to bring your dreams to life and the transformative implications that can have on your work life: https://lnkd.in/eTFFma7w

I recently posted on here three weeks ago about getting a job offer at my local hospital as a customer service representative in patient financial services. I passed my background check went for my pre employment physical at their occupational health facility and while there took my drug test, eye exam etc. when the actual nurse practitioner came into my room she did my vitals and my blood pressure was high. Well I have a history of that since 2006 and she put me on a different dose of medication. Since a week ago I have been monitoring my readings at home for about a week and have to go tomorrow to get it checked by her since she has to have paperwork to HR by 3:00 on Wednesday. She said if BP is normal then she would clear me and I am supposed to start orientation on Oct 2nd. I really want this position but seems to be a little hindrance due to the fact just because of my blood pressure. Just debating if it is worth it or not feels like a runaround.

Did I start the job search soon?

I fell in love with the architecture, culture and people's attitude regarding work and life. After working in the NYC rat race for 20 plus years, I'm ready for a change and am open to where I land. I'm done with a need to climb the corporate ladder and instead focus on living life while being able to support myself. Is there any easier EU passport to obtain as I've had ancestors from all different countries on both sides of my family tree. Instead of trying for a work visa, I'm hoping if I can obtain EU citizenship that would make it easier to work abroad. I'd appreciate your advice!

My manager, the second one I’ve had in my 2 years in this position, is leaving. Ok, so my organization is great- great people, work-life balance, benefits, etc. However, since I’ve been there (will be 2 years in November), both of my managers i had have/are going to leave for really great opportunities outside of our org. While I’m super happy for them, i am concerned about how it’ll potentially impact my career growth. I’d still be doing the same work just reporting to new people, which may change as they hire on a replacement. Which is annoying to start the manager/employee relationship all over again. My manager is leaving in a few weeks and is invested in making sure there’s a plan in place for who i report to when they’re gone. I guess my question is what would you ask them/consider during this transition phase? I was hoping to start the “it’s been 2 years, I’d like a raise or at least something to help with inflation” conversation but I hate doing this, it’s always so awkward. At the same time, it may be best to get the ball rolling on that to see what can be done prior to my manager leaving? any advice is welcome, thank you :)
