I'm affiliated primarily to the Experts General Order but have since found wiser counsel elsewhere e.g. on these boards!

They tell me they do some nice trips though.

Hi Sally, welcome to the Boards.

You are in slightly the wrong place.  Click on the button at the top of the page which says "start a new discussion" and then repost your question.  You'll get more replies that way.

Good luck!

Hi.

 

I havent visited the communities pages for a long time (mainly due to an expanding family and lack of time) so it is something I need to get back into, but then and now I have found the communities web pages very useful.

I think I mentioned before (a long time ago now) that it is useful just to get everyones spin on an topic or idea, even one that I have not specifically searched for previously.  Working in a standalone role, I have found it excellent as it fills the gap where I might ordinarily have batted ideas off of colleagues.

 I am afraid that I am more of a questioner than an answerer, but feel I now have a duty to turn things around and play a more active role in answering queries, but again I would worry that I might not give the exact advice (so would always put my 'personally, I would' disclaimer to a response). 

In the absence of a mentor I also found it useful to get ideas on the development of my role, what areas I could improve on or learn more about - in addition to technical issues.

For new posters, I think before writing you need to be as punchy and clear with the facts you are providing as possible and with critical question you are posing. I remember when there were issues it was sometimes difficult not to write down ALL the minor details, but found that this led to less replies.  When I considered my issue carefully and wrote down more concisely the problem I was up against, it actually helped me understand the issue myself and dig into the real questions I needed answering - therapy perhaps!

As a pledge I hope to find myself here more often, so that I can give back on all the times I used the communities pages to build my own novel into different HR case studies (for my commute home from work!)
