The Pokémon Company International’s Post

Calling all Shell Energy employees... Sorry to hear the news about your roles potentially being made redundant, in light of the recent acquisition by Octopus. You have probably took the p*ss out me in the last 18 months for posting on here, in fact I know you have. But let's put that behind us. You can't undo the fact that you have previously used Linkedin to only post when you've been promoted or yesterday when you all added a green banner to your profile, here's what you can do moving forward: - Update your profile: add successes and stories about what you've achieved. No generic shit. It's your profile. Add your personality to it - Create a list of companies roles you want & start connecting with people who work there. Being connected with people you work with currently isn't going to help your situation. (Max out your connects over the next 6 weeks and you'll have up 600ish new connections) - Network. Network & Network some more. Reach out to hiring managers and get ahead of the game. Schedule coffee chats with people in the companies you want to work for. Find out what it's like to work there. Nobody is going to find your next role for you. Your colleagues are all in the same boat but hate to break it you, it's dog eat dog and they aren't going to pay your bills. - Start posting regularly and sharing your story. Again, add your personality to it. You'll have all (well most of you) achieved some great things since the First Utility days. Posting once to say you're looking for a role isn't enough! Anything else you'd add for people looking for a new role?

ExxonMobil and its partners are drawing an astonishing 620,000 barrels of premium sweet crude from the heart of Guyana 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮. 🤯⛽ But here's where it gets interesting... Our conversations weren't just about oil; they were about 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔. Specifically, we delved into how LinkedIn is revolutionizing the way employees showcase their expertise and aiding their companies in mastering the art of social selling. 🌟📈 The truth is, the potential of LinkedIn remains untapped by many. It's a treasure trove of opportunities, a vast network of professionals just waiting to be explored. This isn't just an opportunity; it's a 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 one. 🗺️💥 I've witnessed countless individuals leap into roles that fit them like a glove, all through LinkedIn. Others have stumbled upon their true calling within this digital realm. 🎯💖 Picture LinkedIn as a colossal "Snickers Yard" - endless, rich, and satisfying.

🚨 Corporate Oopsie Alert! 🚨 Ever had one of those moments where you wish you could instantly disappear? 😅 Well, I sure have! A few months ago, I crafted the perfect email for a single colleague. I hit "send" with confidence, only to realize I had shared it with the entire department! 📧😱😭💔 Lesson learned: always double-check the recipient list. ✅ On the bright side, I discovered two things that day: 1. How to recall an email in 10 seconds 🤣 2. It's important to laugh off innocent mistakes and keep moving forward. 😂 Here's to embracing our corporate bloopers and learning from them! 🙌 #CorporateLife #oilandgas #babylawyer #LearningCurve

Nearly 10 years ago, I started Pink Petro. It was a Twitter feed, with a landing page and a blog and a small team on the second floor of my West Houston home (and this young lady as inspiration). Some of you have asked — what do we do? We’ve been creating a trusted diverse voice intentionally outside of the ‘energy bubble’ because that’s where we need to attract the biggest mind share. It’s omni-channel marketing and it takes time and investment to build this kind of reach. If you tell a story to a bunch of people who agree with you— are you really reaching anyone? 10 years at building a megaphone comes down to experience, not luck. We built on top of that trusted ‘voice’, a community— the first talent and employer marketplace focused on energy jobs with services to help companies with building their employer brand, attracting talent and developing their people. We also give professionals tools to support them in their career journey. We know recruiting is broken and we are changing and rewriting the book on this. Many of you have asked me ‘How can I help?’ Thanks for asking. I have invested nearly $1M and a decade of my life into ALLY Energy because I believe the energy workforce of the future is a challenge we must address at scale. The time has come to widen the tent— we are building our leadership team, raising capital and looking for the right investors, to execute our next phase of growth. We want people who get it — and don’t just see the money to be made but the impact we will have. Ping me if you think you want to be a part of the next chapter. Thanks for all of your support.

It's that time of year again - time to think about New Year's resolutions. What?!! 🎉 For years, I've practiced setting my resolutions on March 21st, the first day of spring and the day we celebrate Persian New Year, or Nowruz! 🌱 After leaving my country, I faced a paradox. Gradually, I started setting my resolutions for January 1st. However, I found a competitive edge in doing so. The first quarter of the year acts as a beta test for me, allowing me to adjust and calibrate my actions based on my progress. Unlike other years where I had a list of 6-8 items, this year I focused on just one: achieving work-life balance. With the amazing support of my mentors, I'm proud to say I've reached my goal nine months ahead of schedule. Now, it's time to set new resolutions! Suggestions are welcomed in comments or DMs. 💬📩 Photos will be added after tonight's Brunel Hive Alumni Event! #NewYearResolutions #Nowruz #PersianNewYear #WorkLifeBalance

🌟 Reflecting on My Journey 🌟 Today is the last day of my near 8 year career at this company and I have mixed emotions and a lot of memories. As I'm now being made redundant and I prepare for the next chapter of my career, I can't help but take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey I've had here at First Utility/Shell Energy. It's been a whirlwind of growth, learning, and unforgettable experiences. From the day I walked through the doors, I knew I was part of something special. The camaraderie, the challenges, and the victories we've shared together have shaped me both personally and professionally. Each project, each milestone, has left an indelible mark on my career path. I am immensely grateful for the support and mentorship I've received from my colleagues and leaders. Your guidance and encouragement have been instrumental in my growth, and I carry the lessons I've learned here with me as I step into the future. While the news of redundancy brings its share of mixed emotions, I choose to focus on the positives - the memories we've created, the friendships forged, and the skills honed. As one chapter closes, another awaits, brimming with new opportunities and possibilities. To my Shell Energy family, thank you for being part of my journey. Your impact on my life will always be cherished, and I look forward to staying connected as we navigate our respective paths. Here's to new beginnings, endless possibilities, and the enduring bonds we've formed. Onward and upward!

Have you experienced the Click - Click effect ❓ One way employees can figure out how confident a candidate is, deploring the keyboard trick. If the interviewer asks a question, they don’t like, you can often hear them typing louder. A sign to the interviewee the answer is being recorded. They are looking to determine if a candidate will modify their answer during this sneaky questioning. 𝓓𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓮 https://lnkd.in/e4C85XyD #opentowork #hiring #extron #biamp #crestron #qsys
