Director I Architectural and Design Recruitment Consultant - Imparting over 23 years of recruiting knowhow to job seekers on their own journey
Last weekend I came across an 18 year old girl, sat on the floor crying her heart out, cowering off a main street, nearby where I live. I knelt down and asked her if she was ok and what was wrong? "I hate my job!" she said sobbing. It was her first job and she was 3 months in "They are terrible people" I explained that we all have jobs in life where we hate what we do AND the people we work with, but she'd get through. After about 15 mins of talking it through, she was prepared to walk back into work, head held high.... and I hope 🙏🏼, with more resilience to go about her day. I gave her my number so if she ever needed another talk, I'm just at the end of the phone. She wiped her tears, gave me a massive hug, and I said "where's that chin?!" She took a deep breath, stood up straight and strong, clapped her heels together, with her chin up high and said "HERE".. chin pointing upwards 🙌🏼 😂 - Love her!!! 🫶🏻 I haven't heard from her since but I really hope I helped her in some sort of way. No doubt, there's loads of you out there that feel that way, like you want to hand in your notice, and don't know what to do. Well, I'm here to tell you! This is momentary feeling, and you have a choice. Keep learning and don't let anyone take you down! And like Emily, take a breath, have a cry if you need to, and maybe clap your heels together if you so feel haha....but you get that back straight and regardless, ALWAYS HOLD YOUR CHIN UP HIGH!!! You've got this! 🙌🏼 👏🏼👊🏼😘 Thinking of you Linkies 🫶🏻 hashtag #inspiration #jobsatisfaction #YouAreNotATreeMove #jobseekers #BeAnEmily #youvegotthis AE Recruitment
