Youth Employment Week - Additional Support Circle! (10th July)

Hey all!
To celebrate Youth Employment Week in July (7th-11th), which you can read more about here, we are going to host a one-off (depending on demand, we may be able to do another one next week too!) Support Circle
What is Support Circle? You can read a bit more about that in our post here if you have never attended one before!
How is this one different? The idea behind this support Circle is that everyone comes with a specific question related to employment - whether about job searching, disliking your co-workers, wanting to change jobs, how to write your CV or hand in your notice.
The general structure of your time will be: 1) presenting your question and explaining about how it is playing on your mind 2) other people in the group feeding back and supporting 3) reflecting on what your next steps might be after having the chance to discuss it
This is a very loose structure, so please do not worry - coming with a question in mind is the most important part!
When is it? Thursday July 10th 3:30-5pm. Confirmation of places will start from Tuesday 8th July!
How many people will be there? We’ll stick to the usual 4 support places with 2 listener spots also available so everyone gets enough time to delve into their struggle/worry!
How do I sign up? If you head to https://forms.gle/vJDfJ3K1F145oL2T6 this form (not the usual Circle form please!) then we can sign up
Presenting a question sounds scary, do I have to? We appreciate that this chat functions a bit differently to what you may be used to for Circle, but we feel having this question to keep the topic on employment will be super beneficial for this space. To make this feel a bit less daunting, we have compiled a long list in the spoiler of example questions.
If any of these resonate, please feel free to use them! They don’t need to be unique or fancy, just something which will help the topic stay work related
Can I talk about work things which don’t relate to my question? For sure! As long as the conversation stays related to employment in some way then that is a-okay!
If you have any questions about how it will work, or if you want us to check over your question, or have any concerns at all about this then please feel free to comment or DM/email us!
We hope to see y’all there!

How do I deal with difficult co-workers?
How do I approach a chat with my manager?
I need more support at work, how do I ask for it?
I want to hand in my notice but how do I do it?
I’m not sure if I want to work here anymore, what do I do?
Why am I not getting any job offers?
How do I do well in interviews?
I don’t know how to balance school and work, any tips?
