Network and Happy Hours
Prior to Covid19, I wanted to start networking with people in person as I found myself out of a job due to the restructure of company.
I noticed that a lot of these networking opportunities took place during a happy hour and I have noticed that some networking events online state that a happy hour is involved.
As someone who does not drink at all, I do not think happy hour networking is a wise idea for a variety of reasons; people over drinking and not remembering you or the conversation, people who already know each other and tend to congregate as a group rather meeting and greeting new individuals who may show up, and/or people focusing on other conversations outside of networking. Personally, I have had instances where if I tell people that I do not drink, they tend to work themselves out of conversing with me, which I find odd.
I know that there are early morning ones, but many individuals are on there way to work in which everyone is short on time and can feel rushed.
I am sure that there are many people who cannot participate in happy hour due to sobriety, medical conditions, pregnancy, do not drink at all, and any reasons that I may be leaving out.
What is your take on happy hours and networking? Do you think that this is still a great way to network? What are some other options to be more inclusive to do those who do not drink?
Any ideas or thoughts would be amazing!

The Perfect Resume Won't Save a Poor Job Strategy.
Yes, your resume matters, but it’s not the magic key. Too many job seekers spend weeks tweaking bullet points while ignoring the bigger picture: Are you applying to the right roles? Are you networking? Are you tailoring your applications?
A polished resume supports your strategy, but it doesn’t replace one.
You could have the most beautifully written resume in the world, but if you’re applying blindly online, not leveraging connections, or chasing roles that aren’t aligned with your skills, the results will still be disappointing.
Here’s the truth: Job searching is a full system, not a single document.
Want results? Focus on:
- Clear goals
- Smart targeting
- Consistent outreach
- And yes, a great resume that reflects all that.

Need some answers
I don't know what I am doing in my life right now. I have never been confused.
Let's start with my professional life. I have wanted to quit for so long, but there has been no job offer. Struggling every day.
Personally, I am in a relationship and we wanted to get married, but the guy's parents are not ready because I am 2 years older and different caste. They are just like I am not matching their criteria. Now, he is ready to leave his parents and marry me, but how do I convince my father to get us married? He is a heart patient, and I can never leave my family. My parents have done a lot for me, and I can't go against them. I can be a rebel and not marry anyone, but is it sensible to ask your father to get you married to the guy whose parents are not ready to even meet me?
So tired of everything now.

? Truth time: Most resumes don’t stand out—and that’s exactly why so many job seekers get ghosted.
Your resume isn’t just a list of jobs. It’s your first impression, your pitch, your permission slip to get in the door.
After working with hundreds of job seekers, I’ve noticed a pattern: the best resumes aren’t just “well-written.” They’re strategic. They show value, impact, and intention.
But here’s the thing—we all approach resumes differently. So I’m curious…
What’s helped you land interviews (or stand out in a sea of sameness)?
And if you’re feeling stuck? I’ve got resources to help. ?

Trying to avoid pressing my nose up against the glass too much
I found out last week that our boss took a few team members on a leadership seminar trip. I feel like I should have been invited as well. I've done a great job, reviews are stellar, they give me impressive raises, and I've been hitting several milestones. The only thing these particular employees have over me is that they've been with the org for a few years longer than I have-- and, as if it should matter at all, they have political connections within our org (friends/family). Still, I have solid industry experience that matches or surpasses theirs. Not sure why I was overlooked. Maybe it's just not my time?
