What I learned at work this year
In the fashion of Bill Gates’ blog post, I thought I would also write a post about the things I’ve learned at work – and also in my personal life – this year. I have done a similar recap of the previous years on the blog every year around this time, so it’s only fair to follow this tradition now. Luckily, […]
Free Resume Template & My Top Tips
Coincidentally, in the last few months I had quite a number of friends reaching out to me and asking to review their resumes. With that, I realized that people still make quite a few mistakes when it comes to their CVs and it might be a good idea to share some tips. However, since the internet is filled with tips […]
How I styled my home work desk
I wanted to write this post for a very looong time. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that quite a few months ago I have installed my own workspace at home. By now I am absolutely in love with it, but it took me quite a while to get there. For a long time I disregarded the […]
How to know if you should study further
If you’ve ever been thinking about going back to studying but were never sure about how to go about it, this might be the right reading piece for you. Similarly, if you’ve just finished/are about to finish your Bachelor’s degree and are not sure what the next step should be – work or study – then this might be helpful for […]
My go-to career resources for women
Career resources (for women) is the kind of content that I pretty much use the Internet for. I am kind of obsessed with following stories of successful working women and due to still being in my early career days, I feel like I want to soak up as much information and advice as possible – you know, I am sort […]
Why I chose an online master while working full time
As most of you might know, last autumn I started my Master’s Degree while still working a full-time job. The way I decided to do it was by enrolling into an online programme and so, in today’s post I want to share all about why I chose to study an online masters degree while working full-time and how has that […]
Looking back at 2018
Same as I have done last year this time, I want to take a moment to write down a few lines looking back at 2018 and revisiting last year’s moments. The end of the year is definitely an obvious (but not necessarily the only neither the best) moment to reflect on what were my achievements the past year, what were my […]

5 Office Outfits for Fall – Style Inspiration
Fall is one of my favourite seasons; I love the in between temperatures when you can wear a blazer or a light coat on top of your outfit, I love the red and orange colours that paint the city, the long walks in the park and just the crisp but warm fall air. It’s no wonder that fall is actually […]
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance – Book Review
I have recently finished reading “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by Angela Duckworth, and I thought it would be interesting to do a book review. On the one hand to share the learnings with you, but on the other hand to also put my thoughts together and in order (I might as well put all those notes and […]
Five podcasts to listen to during your morning commute
I have discovered podcasts and incorporated them I my daily/weekly routine about a year ago and I have, since, been obsessed with them. First, it makes my commute feel productive (i.e. I am not wasting my time on Instagram) and also enjoyable to the point that I am looking forward to getting out the house, putting my AirPods on and […]
Questions to ask at an interview
With many graduates jumping out into the job search adventure, but also with young professionals who are having a change of heart in terms of company, industry, position, in mind or just looking for the next challenge, I wanted to take a blog post to talk about job interviews and especially questions to ask at an interview. Chances are that […]
How to get comfortable with presenting
How to present well in public is probably one of the most googled questions out there. And let’s face it, presenting in front of an audience (be it bigger or smaller) can be nerve-wracking. Okay, let me correct it, it is nerve-wracking – at least for most people. Add to that the fact that you might be an introvert and […]
Own Your Narrative – Build your Reputation at Work
Owning your narrative at work is one of the most underrated ideas out there. We tend to think that if we work hard enough we will eventually “get what we deserve and what we have worked so hard for” even if we sit quietly and just keep working, but life is simply not as straightforward as this. The idea is that […]
My 5 Go-To Career Websites
Ever since I started working, I’ve been on the look for useful – yet hopefully beautifully designed – websites or blogs that offer real career advice and real career stories. Needless to say, I simply despise all these trashy websites built with the sole purpose of monetizing, and that just share articles like “5 tips to … “. While they are great for lost […]
