Jay - Career Consultant

Maybe it's my tough & direct feedback ... maybe I have some big bro aura ... or just maybe people love sarcasm ...

Whatever it is, for the past 8 months, I have done a lot of feedback to friends & colleagues about where they are, where they want to go and ultimately how to go about it. The BIG 'C' if u know what I mean ...

Well .. not any nicely stated suggestions ... but quite direct questions, comments and why nots for them ... and knowing my brash style ... it's definitely not for the faint hearted.

So who got it? PL was the 1st ... this was a hard one ... cause she got some mental blocakge in the head, where she did not want to take risks and ultimately pay cut to pursue what she REALLY wanted. Ultimately, this consulting job was not for women ... just guys pumping the facts in & in again into the head ... like a brainwash ... and did it work? Should be .. she has lept ... and now doing (hopefully) what she wants ...

JL is a classic soft hearted and nice to be bullied by idiotic and capitalistic pig bosses, so here's a guy who's in a job for 2 years without significant pay rise, despite being awarded top employee for several years ... coupled by the fact that his company give newer chicks much higher starting pay than yours truly who is actually asst. mgr now ... so after some brainwash ... he has taken some steps ... one is to start using his annual leave of 40 days ... give boss ultimatum .... go JL, go ...

Now, coming to DY ... another case ... like JL ... too loyal to company, company not rewarding him, not enough qualification to go for other things ... so, need to have review ... but ultimately, I started the ball rolling by getting him to start going for bigger things ... and pick new skills ...

There's more ... but better not state too much ... a lot of repetitive scenarios cause in the end ... we are not so unique after all, are we?

Catch u around!
