I'm super tardy to the party, but I've seen a number of work anniversary notifications, and I realized I forgot to celebrate my own milestone of 10 years at LinkedIn. The only thing I've committed 10 years of my life to is simply...living. It's a long time, and I wanted to share a few simple things I've learned in that time: 1. Patience is a virtue, but it can also be a vice. There's such a thing as waiting TOO long for the right opportunity. Know your value, and be open to all opportunities. 2. Build bridges, try not to burn them. It can often be hard to be professional when you're passionate about what you do and who you do it with, but always try to remain objective. 3. People are powerful. I've seen so many amazing people accomplish so many amazing things when given one simple thing: belief. Belief that they can accomplish whatever they want to achieve when they know someone believes in them. 4. I apparently really like alliteration. Honestly, I didn't expect to be here for 10 years. I don't know what the next 10 will hold, but it's been one hell of a ride. There are so many people to acknowledge, but thank you to everyone inside and outside this company who has touched my life, both personally and professionally. My gratitude for you all runs deep. I'd also love to hear any learnings that you've made throughout your career or shout out your own milestones! #Careers #MilestoneMoments

3-year work anniversary with Monster Energy! Three things that I'm thankful for in no particular order. 1. Constantly being challenged. Working with one of the world's most innovative and recognizable brands means that you’re always trying to better your work and it just feeds your creativity. It's harder to stay at the top then it is to get to the top. 2. Bringing your whole authentic self to work. Embracing everyone's uniqueness cultivates a sense of belonging and empowers everyone to contribute their strengths to the team's success—which I love. It's not like this everywhere. 3. The people. A high-profile brand attracts high-profile talent. I've been very fortunate to work with some AMAZING people. I'm continuously in awe of the talent that surrounds me.

Happy work anniversary to myself! I have turned 1, together with Assurity Trusted Solutions Pte Ltd. I picked some photos because we had too many photos and some are too classic not to re-share. I'm very grateful for the amazing opportunity and experience. Many thanks to Wilem Tan for sliding the LinkedIn message at the point in time when there was an opportunity. My personal takeaway: 1. I felt that I have grown quite a bit, I used to be hiring teachers and teaching intern and knew nothing about tech, to now I can understand tech a bit more and also seeing the team's requirement and striking the balance. 2. I have learnt about implementing and thinking of SOPs, which includes writing and maintaining it! We all knew the importance but how many had that opportunity to do from start to WIP? 3. I get to professional events with the real tech people. There was an event which was organized by JobStreet and it was a good exposure in terms of promoting my company, and understanding the talents out there. 4. Get a chance to continue my "passion for designing". As clinche as it sounded, I never knew that I could continue to do my designing work like EDM broadcast or welcome banner in my current work stint, at the same time trying be eco-friendly. 5. Happy to see my hires. Being me very driven by energy, it's always heartening to see my hires join and I get to meet them on first day! I was once a new hire and I know how it felt on the first day (with many anxiety attacks). And they still talk to me after their first day (it's comforting) 6. My tech colleagues don't mind me being not technical - I'm serious when I said this. I'm so afraid that I'm being judged for not knowing, but they are so willing to share and also don't mind repeating or even breaking it down to layman terms to me. 7. Syncing up, it's always a WIP but glad everyone is so willing to do so. 8. I do get feedback on things to improve on, which is a good thing because it means someone sees the potential in me. 9. Surprised birthday celebration! I didn't tell anyone my birthday, but yeah I had a birthday cake and everyone in the office ATE with me. That's very heartwarming. We do have ups and downs, disagreements and all. Yet we can work it through thick and thin, to work towards a goal. #PeopleofAssurity #workanniversary

Work Anniversary: 10 Lessons I Learned as A Tech Newbie I woke up excited today. As a fan of anniversaries, I've been counting down to today for a few days. It's my first work anniversary at Reliance Infosystems, a distinguished organization that I am proud to be a part of. I joined the Reliance team a year ago today. This is my first 'proper' role as a full-time employee and boy, is it exciting! Of course, I'm different from when I joined, so here are 10 lessons I learned. 1. Observe I spent my first weeks staying mute and observing my new environment. Everything was new. I had new colleagues, new work tools, new routines, and a very corporate system I was unused to. Observing helped me acclimatize better. I learned names, titles, and roles. You make fewer mistakes if you already have an idea (no matter how little) of how to navigate your new space. 2. Speak Up After observing, speak. I spent much time observing and doing little else, my team lead had to nudge me to speak more. If you are reserved, it may feel strange and you may be unsure of yourself but speaking up lets you get heard. Make your contributions and suggestions when the floor is open. While at this, do not forget to observe before speaking. 3. Ask Questions I envy people who do this easily and confidently. My words get all muddled in my mouth 🤦♀️. Be quick to ask for clarification on anything. The earlier, the better too! Staying inquisitive helps you learn the ropes faster. Seek assistance from teammates. There's always at least one person available to help. I had specific teammates I ran to when I got confused. Ayeyemi Sarah, Kehinde Ojo, Gift Chukwudi, Tolulope Lawani and Chiagoziem Mbisike, y'all are the real MVPs. Thanks for coming through for me countless times. 4. Embrace Technology I was coming from a very different background. The only link was my writing ability, and that too was skewed. I got introduced to a new world of applications that I had never heard of and never used. Take your time to figure out these technological differences. Ask the right questions to navigate them properly. Don't forget to keep an open mind. 5. Improve Communication I considered myself a good communicator until I joined Reliance. Certain incidents showed I had much to learn about corporate communication. Use the official communication channels and know when/who to copy/tag. This stops information from falling through the cracks and landing you in trouble! I just found out that LinkedIn has maximum characters! 😥 The complete post is up on my blog.

Embracing the Tech World with Zero Cognate Experience Hello LinkedIn Family, I wanted to share my journey of diving headfirst into the tech industry, armed with nothing but a passion for innovation and a relentless drive to learn. Starting a career in technology with zero cognate work experience might seem daunting. But let me assure you, it's not only possible, it's incredibly rewarding. As a senior HR Executive with over 17 years of cognate HR experience across multiple industries, I can confidently say that in the tech world, it's not about the years of experience you have, but the value you bring. It's about problem-solving, creativity, and the ability to adapt and learn quickly. It's about bringing your A-game every single day. Stories are bound of individuals who started with a blank slate, eager to fill it with knowledge and skills. They embraced every opportunity to learn, whether it was through online courses, webinars, or simply by asking questions. They were not afraid to make mistakes because they knew they were steppingstones on a path to growth. This is the inspiring story of one of my colleagues at Reliance Infosystems, Nifemi Fasuyi who recently celebrated her first-year work anniversary and penned down her journey from zero tech experience to the level where she is able to hold down conversations around tech solutions and products with clients and other relevant stakeholders. See her post here - https://lnkd.in/de3jyx4i Today, I stand proud as an integral part of the Reliance Infosystems family, contributing to projects that are shaping the future. My journey is a testament to the fact that passion, perseverance, and a willingness to learn can equip you with the A-game you need to succeed in the tech industry. So, to anyone standing on the precipice, unsure about taking the leap into the tech world due to lack of cognate experience, I say this - Jump! The tech world is not just for the experienced, it's for the passionate, the curious, and the brave. Remember, everyone starts somewhere. Why not start today? Take advantage of Careerdemy and Modiva Community initiatives by Reliance Infosystems that have assisted thousands of individuals gained valuable tech experience and certifications across different specialties, free of charge. Yes, you heard me right, free of charge! Sign-up today https://lnkd.in/daMg3ppH or talk to Archibong Edet for details.

It's been 3 years! August marks my 3-year anniversary since joining the Analytics team at CyberGRX. I am grateful for the positive experiences and the supportive environment this company has prioritized during that time. In celebration of my work anniversary, I want to share three valuable lessons I've learned during these years: 1. A supportive manager is invaluable; shout-out to Daniel Tobin for being considerate of the team’s mental health positively impacting my own mindset and overall productivity. It makes me look forward to logging in to work the next day. 2. Embrace iteration without fear. Continuous improvement leads to better outcomes. Taking time between iterations allows for fresh perspectives and enhances the potential for improvements. 3. Learn anywhere you can. Technical skills are important, but listening to colleagues from different areas provides insights into their challenges and how the company functions as a whole, ultimately allowing you to contribute effectively and make someone’s life easier, both internally and externally. Looking forward to more years of learning ahead. Cheers! 🍻

🥚LinkedIn usually celebrates work anniversaries, but today I’m celebrating a different kind of anniversary—a role anniversary! It's Engineer vs. Marketing, and it's been this way for 27 years. 🥚😂 🎉 To commemorate, I’m sharing a comparison of how an engineer (Peter - meticulous, precise methodical ) and a marketer (me - spontaneous, creative, agile approach) prepare soft-boiled eggs. Yep – it’s been a fascinating journey and continues to be so. Are your roles different too? How do you challenge and feed off each other's strengths? #Anniversary #LoveAndLaughter #EngineerVsMarketer #RoleAnniversary #SoftBoiledEggs

My Fourth Work Anniversary!!! 4 People I Am Grateful for in This 4-year Journey: 1. Nandita Mathur - My manager who didn’t give a second thought before hiring me as a naive writer and molded me into what I am today (capable of putting some insightful write-ups). Having someone like her by my side was the best thing Cognus did to me- She’s your best supporter and the best critic. She makes sure you’re motivated and grounded as well. 2. Bhadarveer Shekhawat - He sets an example to the team on how to be involved throughout the process. The way he keeps a tab on root causes and concerns the way he resolves any issue in seconds is a lesson to be learned for ages. He always shares a unique perspective of leadership and management. Every conversation with him leaves an insightful impact. 3. Mamta Shekhawat - She is the one we all look up to. The way she finds balance between her professional and personal life is on one hand and the way she keeps hustling to do more is another level. Having a mentor who is as ambitious as her inspires us to dream big and work harder to turn those dreams into reality. 4. Virendra Singh Ranawat - Working with him is an opportunity we cherish all the time. Having a safe space to express, work, and grow is what we have around him. It wouldn’t be possible for us without his support to come up with initiatives and ideas that align with our interests and company goals.

What a wild ride so far. I just celebrated my 9 year anniversary here commonsku. I think work anniversary's are funny. Thank yous and praise for staying somewhere. Likely because we are in a job market where people pop from one company to another, climbing the company directories by changing location. But not me, I've always been here. The question I get asked by far the most when I interview people for my department is "why". Again, to me this is funny. I work in a place that allows me to be my sarcastic, honest and sometimes stubborn self. A place that supports me professionally and personally. Where I am trusted in my decisions, opinions and thoughts. I am allowed to make mistakes, celebrate wins and (what I tell everyone in interviews) I don't need to pretend to be someone else between 9 and 5. Maybe I get asked because it is rare to find a place that does this. But that's the reason I should be saying thank you. This isn't meant to be a sappy post or telling you all how awesome my job, my coworkers, my bosses and my customers all are. I don't write my thoughts out often, but I feel like this is owed. A thank you from me to all of those people I just mentioned for allowing me to be here for 9 years, allowing me to be successful, trusting in me and making my work something I legitimately love to do. 9 years is just the start of my journey here. And I'm pumped to see what I can do in the next 9.
