Hi all, Requesting some feedback on a project I’m working on. The task at hand is to coordinate the process of “parts” through a series of steps, involving over 30 people from 6+ teams. Each team had their own solution but eventually became defunct due to the resources (time) it took to update. I’m proposing a smart sheet that allows teams to have their own sheet for details only relevant to themselves, and then a master sheet that will be auto populated/managed myself. Also going to add a dashboard as an easier way to visualize how things are running. Any feedback from you all would be appreciated!

It has been quiet here... What everyone is working on right now and what are everyone's goals/insights?

I came back from vacation to 924 emails and 99+ messages on my MS Teams. But reviewing it all wasn't my first step when I logged back in, instead I reached out to all 4 people I delegated my tasks to and asked for a quick status, and I reached out to my manager to see what my top priority for the day is. What is your first step when you get back from a longer vacation?

What’s one leadership or management tip you keep hearing… that you personally call B.S. on? I will go first: Fake it till you make it - saying like that does not really exist in Polish culture, I don't think it actually works. People will see through it and I think this approach will only result in lost trust. And I don't think you need to do it either. In a world where you can obtain any knowledge and you can ask AI anything, you can easily say, I don't know how to solve this problem, but I know how to find out, then I will figure out how to apply a solution. If anything, it will build trust instead of diminishing it.

Hi everyone, A lot of you may remember my first post earlier in May this year. After many applications, lots of screening protocols, and a handful of interviews, I was finally offered a project coordinator role at an amazing company! And I'm wanting to share my experiences with everyone here. LESSON 1: Spamming applications versus tailoring applications. Coming from a mentality in early summer to get my name out to as many companies possible, this worked for the first few weeks. I was receiving responses back from companies ranging from engineering to healthcare and were interested in my diverse professional background. Once June/July hit, the resume views tanked and I wasn't getting anywhere. After tailoring my resume from a general PM perspective to one that is specific to each and every job, the responses increased again. Although I'm sure many of you know this lesson already, this was something I've now understood. LESSON 2: Internal referrals are truly the only way to pass the first screening. As someone who networks with absolutely anyone and everyone in my companies (including the individuals you think you would never need to contact), a co-op student who had interned at my current company was now working at my next employer. We had connected early on in my current job as we started during the same time. He was extremely willing to put my name forward as a great candidate for three jobs, and luckily the third one was a hit. LESSON 3: Don't hide your unique personality during your interviews. 1 phone call with HR, 2 panel interviews in person, and 1 video chat with the director later, I heard amazing feedback from the recruiter. She mentioned that everyone thought I was "the one" after our conversations. What did I do? I was my absolute self. Before this interview I ensured that I would remain my upmost professional self to "sell" the vision of a young, driven corporate cog. I decided to give it a shot and introduce a bit more of myself - why I live the way I do, my personality, and my hobbies. During my chat with the director, I found that we shared a mutual interest in cars and motorcycles! The recruiter contacted me back the next day and mentioned that he's very excited to see my car and learn a bit more about my volunteer work with the local raceway.
