How to tell my boss that I have too much work?

Posted on by Simone Allan

 

Firstly, don’t be too hard on yourself. Workloads can very easily implode and discussing this with your boss can be uncomfortable. Be honest. Set priorities with your boss, understand what is critical and what is not. To-do lists are an excellent way to manage time (and expectations).

How to tell my boss that the work I’m doing isn’t in my job description?

Posted on by Simone Allan

Go over your position description with them and explain that the current work that you are doing does not reflect what was set out initially. There may be a reason for this that they will explain to you, it might only be temporary to fill a hole that is missing somewhere else. Being open and honest is key within a workplace.

How do I organise a handover at work if I am leaving?

Posted on by Simone Allan

A handover should always be as descriptive as possible, providing the person who is taking over the role with as much detail as possible. Explain your current tasks and what needs to be actioned from them, provide contact details and next steps required. Create a handover document that is so descriptive, someone who doesn’t work for the company is able to undertake the tasks.

Do I include a photo of myself on my resume?

Posted on by Simone Allan

Blue rectangular paper, small image of the person in the top left corner, the word resume written on the top of the image

Some industries like photos and others do not.  Hospitality and positions that require public interface often prefer a photo. A photo can create unconscious biases – both positive and negative. So you have to make a judgement call yourself if they do not request it. Ask a friend or trusted advisor to give you candid feedback of what is a professional photo of yourself.
