I put on a masks within the workplace and my colleagues are all the time teasing me. They suppose it’s humorous nevertheless it makes me very uncomfortable. I really feel this has turn into a hostile work atmosphere however my boss says to simply loosen up — that nobody is threatening me, making inappropriate advances or discriminating in opposition to me. What ought to I do?
Feels like your boss is straight out of central casting for clueless bosses. We don’t must debate authorized definitions of what constitutes a “hostile work atmosphere.” The conduct you describe might or might not rise to that stage, nevertheless it doesn’t matter. Persons are making you uncomfortable. It must cease. It doesn’t must require a menace of litigation, or something that places any of your relationships in danger. How about simply professionally, calmly, properly telling your colleagues that the jokes are making you uncomfortable and to please cease. In the event that they persist, ask extra firmly. If that doesn’t work, escalate to your boss and demand it stops. I doubt it should come to that, until you’re employed with really insensitive morons.
I’m seeking to make a profession change and I’ve two fully totally different pursuits, one in hospitality and the opposite in advertising. I’ve expertise in each fields. How do I craft a résumé that may converse to each pursuits?
You don’t. I imply, you’ll be able to lump all the things into one doc, however that may simply confuse anybody who reads your résumé (which you need to know in case you have expertise in advertising). It’s regular and good to create résumés focused particularly to the sphere you have an interest in slightly than making a one-size-fits all doc which truly suits none. So, you’ll create a purposeful résumé that summarizes and highlights your whole hospitality expertise in a single principal part known as “Hospitality Expertise.” Your different related common expertise goes within the “Different Expertise” part. And the identical in your “Advertising Expertise” for jobs which can be in that area. See how simple that was? This frees you from the constraints of getting to listing your expertise in a conventional chronological order which can not put your most related expertise first.
