A THREAD —
DO YOU KNOW THAT VOLUNTEERING CAN BE ONE OF THE BEST CAREER MOVES YOU MAKE?
“Why would I work for free?”
Fair question.
But what if we stopped looking at volunteering as “work without pay” and started looking at it as an opportunity to gain experience, build relationships and prove what we can do?
Here’s why it matters.
👇
8/9
BUT LET'S BE CLEAR:
NOT EVERY “VOLUNTEERING” OPPORTUNITY IS A GOOD ONE.
If an organisation expects you to work full-time indefinitely while using “volunteering” to avoid paying people, that's a different conversation.
Volunteering should be a choice, not exploitation.
Ask yourself:
What will I learn?
Who will I work with?
What experience will I gain?
Will this help me grow?
If the answer is no, you don't have to say yes.
👇
9/9
SO DON'T ASK ONLY:
“HOW MUCH DOES THIS VOLUNTEERING ROLE PAY?”
Sometimes the immediate financial return is zero.
But the experience, skills, relationships, confidence and evidence you gain can have value far beyond the opportunity itself.
Volunteer strategically.
Learn deliberately.
Build experience.
And make sure the opportunity is helping you move forward, not simply taking advantage of your time.
TALENT CAN GET YOU NOTICED.
PROFESSIONALISM CAN KEEP YOU IN THE ROOM.
You can be extremely talented and still be difficult to work with.
You can be brilliant but unreliable.
Highly skilled but disrespectful.
Creative but unable to meet deadlines.
Knowledgeable but incapable of taking feedback.
Companies don't only need people who can do the work.
They need people they can trust with the work.
Talent gets attention.
Professionalism builds reputation.
And over time, reputation can become more valuable than raw talent.
YOUR FIRST 30 DAYS AT A NEW JOB ARE NOT THE TIME TO PROVE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.
Don't:
Criticise everything immediately.
Compare the company to your previous employer.
Join office gossip.
Promise more than you can deliver.
Overshare your personal life.
Try to change processes you don't yet understand.
Instead:
Observe.
Ask questions.
Learn how decisions are made.
Understand the people, priorities and culture.
You don't need to impress everyone in your first month.
First, become someone people can trust.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS A TEST OF CHARACTER.
Your manager tells you something sensitive.
A colleague asks what you heard.
You know they won't tell anyone.
So you tell them.
Now you've become the person who cannot be trusted with confidential information.
Not everything you know at work is yours to share-
Salary information.
Employee matters.
Business plans.
Customer information.
Private conversations.
If someone trusted you with information that wasn't meant for everyone, protect that trust.
Sometimes integrity is simply knowing what NOT to repeat.
YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH YOUR BOSS WITHOUT BEING DISRESPECTFUL.
Don't start with:
“You're wrong.”
Try:
“I see it differently because…”
“My concern with that approach is…”
“Could we consider another option?”
Then explain your reasoning -
Bring facts, not attitude.
And once the decision has been made, understand whether you're expected to execute it—even if your preferred option wasn't chosen.
Professional maturity isn't agreeing with everything your boss says.
It's knowing how to challenge an idea without turning it into a personal battle.
FAVOURITISM CAN DESTROY A TEAM WITHOUT A SINGLE PERSON RESIGNING.
When employees believe promotions, opportunities and recognition are based on who you know rather than what you contribute, motivation changes.
People stop competing on performance.
They start competing for proximity.
If you're a manager, don't just ask:
“Am I treating everyone equally?”
Ask:
“Would my team believe my decisions are fair if they could see how I made them?”
Perception matters.
Trust is difficult to rebuild once employees stop believing the system is fair.
NOT EVERY WORKPLACE BATTLE DESERVES YOUR ENERGY.
Fight when:
Your reputation is being damaged.
You're being treated unfairly.
Your work is being deliberately undermined.
A serious ethical line has been crossed.
Walk away when:
You're arguing over ego.
Nothing meaningful will change.
The environment has become consistently toxic.
Or winning the argument would cost more than losing it.
Being strategic at work sometimes means knowing when to speak up.
It also means knowing when silence and distance are the smarter move.
WORKING HARD DOESN'T GUARANTEE A PROMOTION.
It's uncomfortable, but true.
You can arrive first, leave last and never miss a deadline.
But promotions often depend on more than effort.
Can you solve bigger problems?
Can you lead people?
Can you make good decisions without constant supervision?
Do decision-makers know what you've accomplished?
And, fairly or unfairly, does someone influential know your name?
The godfather factor exists in many workplaces.
Sometimes, the person who gets ahead isn't the most hardworking.
It's the person with a sponsor, advocate or senior leader willing to vouch for them.
Hard work matters.
But if your work is invisible, poorly communicated or unsupported by the right relationships, someone else may get the promotion you thought you had earned.
BECOMING INDISPENSABLE ISN’T THE GOAL.
BECOMING TRUSTED IS.
If everything depends on you, you haven't built influence.
You may have built a bottleneck.
Solve important problems, but don't hoard the knowledge.
Document your work.
Create systems.
Train others.
Set boundaries around your availability.
Your value shouldn't come from being the only person who can keep things moving.
It should come from making the entire team better.
That’s how you become valuable without becoming trapped.
WHAT TO SAY WHEN ASKED FOR YOUR CURRENT SALARY
“WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT SALARY?”
You don't always have to answer with a number.
You can say:
“I'd prefer to focus on the value of this role and the compensation range you've budgeted for it. Could you share the range?”
If they insist, you can decide whether sharing is in your best interest.
Your current salary reflects what someone else agreed to pay you.
It doesn't necessarily reflect what your skills are worth in a different role.
Know the difference.
DATING A COLLEAGUE ISN'T NECESSARILY A BAD IDEA.
DATING A COLLEAGUE AND BRINGING YOUR RELATIONSHIP INTO EVERY PART OF THE WORKPLACE IS.
If it happens, keep the relationship private and the work professional.
Don't use your partner as your messenger.
Don't involve colleagues in your disagreements.
Don't give each other special treatment.
And if one of you manages the other, the situation becomes much more complicated.
The relationship may be personal.
The workplace isn't.
AUGUST IS COMING TO AN END.
Maybe you got the job you wanted.
Maybe you're still searching.
Maybe you changed direction.
Maybe you're exactly where you need to be.
Whatever August looked like for you, don't carry the pressure of having everything figured out into September.
Take the lessons.
Leave the mistakes.
Keep moving.
A new month doesn't guarantee a new outcome.
But a new approach can create one.
See you in September.
