Join the ShortlistHR community chat: A dedicated space for your burning career questions 🔥

A private space for us to converse and connect

Shortlisters!

Quick story: Last night after our job roundup email went out, I got this great question from Candace about citizenship requirements for a US Embassy M&E role we shared. And it hit me…

For every Shortlister who emails me a question, there are probably dozens more wondering the same thing.

A recent pic of my workspace (except for the iPad Pro which I recently upgraded to the 13” M4). And now you know where ShortlistHR was born.

That’s exactly why, starting now, we’re launching the ShortlistHR chat. Think of it as your career growth hub where you can…

✅ Ask those burning questions about salaries, job requirements, or career pivots

✅ Share interesting job listings you spot (and get the inside scoop)

✅ Connect with other professionals who’ve walked similar paths

✅Get real-time insights on specific roles and companies

Your questions are pure gold, so keep them coming…

I’m hoping your questions and feedback will help us create better content, spot trends, and build a more valuable resource for everyone. Whether you’re wondering about salary benchmarks, career transitions, or specific job requirements (like Candace’s question!), drop it in the chat.

Ready to jump in?

Can’t say it enough…download the Substack app — it’s the easiest way to join our growing community of career-focused professionals. Start a new thread, join existing conversations, or just lurk and learn (we won’t judge!).

This is a conversation space exclusively for subscribers, mind you — kind of like a group chat or live hangout.

In fact, you can jump into this discussion about our 2025 events programme right now.

The more we share, the smarter we all get.

See you in the chat!

How to get started

1. Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.

2. Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.

3. That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, send me an email.

P.S. Candace, if you’re reading this — I’ll be answering your question in the chat. Thanks for being part of ShortlistHR!

P.P.S. Consider upgrading to a paid subscription so you can benefit from our events which include in-person meet-ups later this year.
