\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0When using social media, it is most important to be authentic in your connection, don\\u2019t try to be someone you are not

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0If a friend lost a job, some thoughts to support them include:

o \\xa0 It is ok to give yourself space to grieve

o \\xa0 Make sure you give yourself compassion and kindness

o \\xa0 Remember, transition is a normal part of life in today\\u2019s world

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0Progress is not only measured by external items (e.g. performance reviews, promotions, compensation) but also internal things (e.g. happiness, stress levels, energy)

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0Volunteer work not only helps you network, it gives you a sense of purpose and gratitude

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0Find the culture that fits you, don\\u2019t you try to fit the culture
