Interesting about the every 3 years thing (No. 3). I’m coming up on 11 years at the same company, working for the same boss, but I’ve gotten many promotions and changed roles and continue to grow…in place.
Due to my age to relative work history I’m thinking I should update my resume to reflect each different stepping stone and what I did in that time frame rather than just the one 11 year job with my most up to date title.
Some companies are also good about horizontal job changes, if you wanted to do other things in the same company. I don’t think you should have to leave a place you love just to satisfy the “new normal” for some people.
Thanks for including my post!!
I have been a flight attendant going on 9 years. Almost all of these are true and make excellent standards as crazy as they may seem.
About face cleansing (#5): Belle, have you found that products like the Bliss Gel-to-Oil cleanser (or basically anything with the word “oil” in the ingredients) makes your skin more prone to breakouts? Like you, I have combination skin, so I’ve usually avoided anything containing oils.
