Neurodivergent High-Achieving Women - Monthly Cycle Struggles & Burnout

Nobody told me my brain worked differently. ❤️🩹 I had to figure it out myself. And when I did, everything started making sense. Now I'm researching how this shows up for other women, especially the ones in demanding careers who are quietly managing way more than anyone around them realizes. If any of this sounds familiar- → Certain times of month are just harder, inexplicably → You've never found tools that actually fit how your brain works → You spent years thinking something was wrong with you → You're high-achieving on the outside and exhausted on the inside I want to hear your story. 20 minutes. No pitch. Just a real chat. Comment "Women" below or DM me! 🙏 #neurodivergent #ADHDwomen #Autisticwomen #AuDHD #womenshealth

Forensic Numismatists - 2026 Mayflower Mechanical Die Failures

2026 Mayflower: It’s a Mechanical Crime Scene, Not Wear. Look, we need to talk about what’s really happening on those presses, and it’s time we get the story straight for the hobby. I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about "natural die wear," but if you look at these 2026 Mayflower quarters forensically, you'll see a mechanical crime scene that "natural wear" just can't explain. To understand why I’m looking at this differently, we have to look at the actual definitions of an error. Merriam-Webster defines an error as an act that departs from what should be done due to a deficiency or accident, or a deficiency in structure. PCGS defines a mint error as a mistake, accident, or malfunction during the minting process. Now, here is the mechanical reality: The feeder fingers failed to feed the planchet. Because there was no coin there to take the hit, the dies struck each other directly. We aren't just talking about a simple clash; that massive collision caused the dies to shatter internally. That internal shattering is exactly what we are seeing in the Phantom of Larose markers. Because the internal structure of the die is compromised, you see the shoulder of the male pilgrim literally being pressed into the rigging of the ship on the opposite side by the sheer mass and pressure of the strike. It’s the same reason we have the "mosquito bite" on the lady pilgrim’s arm and that "splinter" on the pinky finger. These aren't flow lines from a die getting old; they are fractures and structural failures from a catastrophic mechanical malfunction. By every definition we use, that is a documented error. Now that you’ve heard the evidence I’ve put forward here today, do you still think we’re just looking at a die getting old, or do you see the mechanical truth? I’m not just here to talk at you; I want to hear your opinion. Leave a comment and let’s get into the science of it. If you have a Phantom of Larose, any of the markers, and or a Spirit of '76, I want to see it. Send me your high resolution photos by posting them on my Facebook page or on my YouTube channel. I’ll personally map it out and show you exactly where your coin sits in the progression of this "Death of a Die." We’re building the Hunterman Forensic Registry (HFR) to document this in real-time, and I’ll add yours to the project completely free of charge.

Groningen Locals & Historians - Hanseatic Trade, Tobacco & Cannabis

Looking for people from Groningen to discuss Hanseatic history, tobacco trade & modern cannabis culture Hello everyone, I’m a university student at HU and am currently researching Groningen for a cultural journalism magazine article, and I’m looking to speak with anyone who know the city well, especially locals, historians, students, longtime residents, or anyone very knowledgeable about Groningen’s history and culture.

Mark Driscoll Congregants & Pastors in Arizona - Claims

Seeking perspective on Mark Driscoll I am a Christian journalist who covers religious corruption. I’m fielding research on Mark Driscoll for a possible story following up on several claims made about him from past congregants. If anybody has any experience interacting with Driscoll since his move to Arizona, I’d love to hear about it. I’ve found several issues I need to corroborate. If you go to his church and love it; if you only attended once and hated it; if you were exiled from it; if you were a pastor that worked with Driscoll, I’d love to hear from all of you. If you simply want to fill my DM’s with hatred, that’s fine too. I just want to get to the truth as it stand with this man here and now, and I need your perspective. DM me if you’d like to share. You can remain anonymous, or we can exchange information if you’d like to be mentioned in the story as a source. It’s completely up to you. This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons.

Nonprofit Cybersecurity Leaders - Tech & Society Conversation

Happy Monday! Guess what I am preparing for this week? 🤔 Yep! Infosecurity Europe 2026 is just around the corner — June 2–4 at ExCeL London — and I'm booking editorial conversations for the show. I love sitting down with someone in the media room — that second-level space with a view overlooking the Thames — and talking, really talking, at the busy intersection where #technology, #cybersecurity, and #society keep colliding. No script. No product pitches. Just a conversation worth having to achieve something better that what we have today. Sometimes I am joined by Marco Ciappelli — sometimes, it's just me and a guest. I'm opening up some editorial slots for a variety of topics that would suit The Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast audience, inviting the following guests to join me: non-profits, academics, analysts, researchers, authors, fellow journalists, and subject-matter experts who want to discuss ideas, not products. If you're bringing a perspective, a piece of research, or a question worth thinking about — I want to hear from you! Important Note: this is not a sales channel. We have sponsorships, briefings, and brand highlights for that, and we do those well. Editorial means something different. Strike a chord that impacts a IT or cybersecurity and I'll listen. None of these conversations happen without the incredible team that takes care of all of us at the show — media, speakers, company leaders alike. I cannot wait to get that first smile and hug on June 2nd: Paula Averley, Origin Communications, Alicia Broadest, Vanessa Champion PhD 🧡 Drop your pitch in the comments, or DM me. There's a couch with a view of the Thames — let's sit and talk. Marco Ciappelli Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine #InfosecurityEurope #TechJournalism #InfosecCommunity #CISO #SecurityProgram

Consignment & Authenticators - Platform Pricing Decisions

Researching how luxury resale platforms price inventory. Looking for people with experience on the platform side Hey everyone! I'm doing independent research on pricing in luxury resale, specifically how platforms and authenticators decide what to list items at before they go live. I've already spoken with casual sellers and I understand the seller side pretty well. What I'm trying to understand now is the platform and professional side. How do you actually decide on a price? What information do you use? What takes the longest? And when something doesn't sell, how does that decision get made? If you work in consignment, authentication, or resale professionally or even do it seriously as a side business, I'd love to hear from you. Drop a comment or DM me.

Citizenship-by-Investment Clients & Experts - Second Passport Market

I'm working on a story for Deutsche Welle (DW) about the global citizenship by investment industry — the market that lets you buy a second passport if you can afford it. Around 50,000 people a year do exactly that. The buyers are overwhelmingly from Pakistan, Nigeria, India, Iran, and Russia; countries where the passport you are born with limits where you can go, work, and live. I'm looking to speak with:1) Immigration lawyers or consultants working with citizenship or residency by investment clients; 2) Researchers or policy experts working on passport inequality or investment migration; 3) Anyone who has personally navigated the citizenship by investment process and is willing to share their experience on camera This is for a short video piece for DW's Business department. All perspectives welcome — including critical ones. Please get in touch via DM or at [email redacted]

Insurance Executives - AI Hallucination Liability

#ExclusiveFeature: AI hallucinations are no longer just a technical issue. They may soon become a financial and legal one too. As enterprises increasingly deploy generative AI across customer service, healthcare, legal research, finance, cybersecurity, and internal operations, a new question is emerging quietly behind the scenes: who carries the liability when AI gets something dangerously wrong? Insurers, legal experts, risk consultants, and enterprise leaders are now beginning to explore what “AI hallucination insurance” could actually look like. Could businesses soon insure themselves against AI-generated misinformation, compliance failures, financial losses, or reputational damage caused by autonomous systems? For an upcoming feature at Tech Revolt, I’m looking to speak with: Insurance executives Enterprise risk specialists AI governance experts Legal professionals CISOs and CIOs AI platform providers If you have insight into how organisations are preparing for AI liability and risk management, I’d love to hear from you.

Medical Students & Early-Career Doctors - Climate Medicine Careers

🌍Climate medicine is still rarely taught in Korean medical schools — and we want to change that. We are To Be Doctor, a South Korean medical student organization publishing a magazine for medical students and physicians. Our upcoming issue focuses on climate and medicine, a topic that remains relatively unfamiliar in Korea despite its growing importance in global medical education, clinical practice, public health, and healthcare systems. For this issue, we are preparing a feature that introduces climate medicine as an emerging career field to Korean medical students. We are looking to hear from people working at the intersection of medicine, climate change, and health, including: (1) medical students, residents, or early-career doctors pursuing climate medicine (2) combining clinical practice with climate-related research, advocacy, or education (3) physicians working in climate-related NGOs, global health organizations, or international institutions (4) fellows or graduate students in climate & health, planetary health, or healthcare sustainability programs (5) professionals working on climate resilience, health equity, or sustainable healthcare What we are asking A short email interview — about 5 questions, 10–15 minutes to answer. We will ask about your career path, your current work, and what advice you would give to medical students who are beginning to explore climate and health. Deadline We would appreciate responses by May 29. In Korea, climate medicine still feels distant to most medical students. Many of them have never encountered this field in their curriculum, and have no idea that it could be part of their future as physicians. Your voice could be the first time a Korean medical student hears that this career exists! Even a few sentences from you — about how you came into this field, what you do, and why it matters — could open a door for someone who is just beginning to ask "what kind of doctor do I want to be?" If you would be willing to participate, or if you know someone whose perspective should be included, please comment below or send me a direct message. Thank you for helping us bring climate medicine to the attention of future doctors in Korea. #ClimateMedicine #ClimateAndHealth #PlanetaryHealth #PlanetaryHealthAlliance #SustainableHealthcare #MedicalEducation #GlobalHealth #ClimateHealthEquity

AMNH Curators & Preparators - Glass Monarch Butterfly Diorama

Does anyone know someone at the AMNH? This is a really random, REALLY specific request. When I was an undergrad, I had the opportunity to tour behind-the-scenes at the American Museum of Natural History, and later did data collection for my research there as well. On one visit, I remember being shown a diorama of monarch butterflies feeding on milkweed, all made of glass. The diorama had been pulled from the public area of the museum because it was so fragile that the visitors walking by would send vibrations through the case, and it was at risk of breaking. I was wondering if I could talk to anyone about this era of making elaborate dioramas out of glass, and ideally if anyone happened to have more information about that specific diorama or the maker. I would love to find a photo of this diorama, but I know that that’s a long shot anyway. I’m doing my best with online archive research on all this and so far have come up empty. Context: I am a science journalist, but I have an extensive background working in museums (and I am trying to get back into museum work, but that’s a whole other story). I’m really interested in the history of how museums have created the facsimiles of the natural world in order to showcase them in dioramas, and I would love to discuss this further for a piece that I’m working on. Thanks so much!

Counselors & Theorists - Psychic Apparatus & Sustainability Regime

Why I’m looking at the "Psychic Apparatus" through the lens of Critical Theory. As a clinician, I spend my days navigating the complexities of the human mind. But as a researcher, I’ve become increasingly interested in how our social and economic "regimes" shape the very structure of our subjectivity. In my current work—and for my upcoming books, 'Therapy Yet to Come' and 'The Psychic Apparatus'—I’m exploring the intersection of clinical psychiatry/psychotherapy and the Frankfurt School. Specifically, I’m looking at how the "psychic apparatus" is influenced by what I call the "regime of sustainability." Is our current model of mental health simply helping individuals adapt to a specific political economy, or can therapy become a site of genuine critical resistance? I’m excited to be diving deeper into these questions, especially as I await the results of my application for the Horkheimer Fellowship at the Institute for Social Research. I believe that for therapy to truly have a "future," it must first reckon with the "unilectical" subjectivity fostered by modern institutional psychiatry. I'd love to hear from fellow counselors and theorists: How do you see social structures manifesting in the clinical encounter? #CriticalTheory #Psychotherapy #FrankfurtSchool #MentalHealth #Philosophy #ClinicalPsychology

Academic Peer Reviewers - Reviewer Shortage & Self-Publishing Trends

I'm working on a story about how the peer review process is in a complete state of overwhelm. The situation seems to be worst in AI research. Here, the demand for reviewers outstrips the supply so severely that I've heard of early-year college students being tapped as reviewers. Some experienced researchers are giving up on the system entirely and self-publishing their work on blogs instead. I'm wondering how much the problem extends to other fields. If you have experiences in this realm, and you'd like to talk on the record, send me an email: [email redacted].

Construction Site Teams & Apprentices - Skills Shortage Solutions

🚧 The construction industry has a skills problem — but are we asking the right people how to solve it? 🚧 Over the coming weeks, I’ll be joining a podcast conversation with a major Tier 1 national employer alongside a construction sector-wide alliance that connects different parts of the industry through independent research, collaboration, and best practice. The focus of the discussion is simple, but critical: How do we tackle the growing skills shortage in construction? We hear the statistics all the time: 📉 Skills gaps 📉 Ageing workforce 📉 Recruitment challenges 📉 Retention issues But behind every headline are real experiences from people working across the sector every day, and those are the voices I want to bring into the conversation. 💬 I’d genuinely like to hear from: Site teams Apprentices & learners Employers & recruiters Colleges & training providers Supply chain professionals Industry leaders Anyone passionate about the future of construction What’s your perspective? ❓ What is the industry getting wrong? ❓ What’s actually working well? ❓ How do we attract and retain the next generation? ❓ Are we doing enough to modernise perceptions of construction careers? ❓ What challenges are you personally experiencing? Whether your views are positive, critical, or somewhere in between .... they matter. Please add your thoughts in the comments or message me directly if you’d prefer to contribute privately. I’d love to bring as many real industry perspectives as possible into the discussion. The future workforce of construction affects all of us. Let’s talk about it. #Construction #SkillsShortage #BuiltEnvironment #ConstructionIndustry #Apprenticeships #SkillsDevelopment #FutureOfConstruction #IndustryCollaboration #Recruitment #ConstructionCareers #Podcast

Students & Young Founders - Kojan Podcast Guests

The most interesting people I know aren't in any classroom. They're building startups at 17. Publishing research before finishing school. Running communities, breaking records, asking questions nobody around them is asking. Then again, there are the average students, students who have dreams, passions and more, whose stories are constantly overlooked. None of those conversations - the outliers and the average - had an audience. I'm changing that. The Kojan Podcast launches soon — long-form conversations with students, young researchers, founders, and occasionally just someone living an interesting life. No script, just a natural conversation between 2 human beings chilling out, unlike other interview 'podcasts'. I'm now opening applications for guests for the first few episodes. If you're doing something that matters to you — research, a startup, a sport, an idea, anything — I want to hear about it. You don't have to be famous. You just have to have something worth saying.

UK Dispensing Opticians & Companies - Historical Photos & Memorabilia

I'm undertaking some historical research for a project as part of Association of British Dispensing Opticians celebrations marking 100 years of the dispensing optics profession. If any individuals or companies have any historical photos or memorabilia from the profession and industry, I'd love to hear from you. Please email [email redacted] Yes, that is a very delicate copy of The Dispensing Optician (forerunner to Dispensing Optics) from 1936! A fascinating read - not least an article titled, 'The psychology of children's spectacles' first published in 'Bondwel Bulletin', in which I. Morris writes, "...one becomes conscious of the undoubted discomfort these ill-fitting contrivances may inflict upon their unfortunate wearers – 'victims' might be a better word – which must in a sense be a mental discomfort as well as a physical one." #eyestories #ABDO #100yearsofDO #dispensingopticians #history #journorequest #pleaseshare

Workers From Underrepresented Backgrounds - Workplace Inclusion

Some projects move slowly… not because they matter less, but because they matter so much that you want to do them properly. Lately, my available time for my book research has become much more limited. Between work, studies, and life, progress sometimes feels like a drop in the ocean. But this week, I finally completed the introduction and Chapter 1. And honestly? It feels like an important milestone. This book was never meant to be “just” a book about HR. It is becoming a reflection about people, leadership, work, inclusion, belonging, discrimination, ethics, and the many ways organizations shape human lives, positively and negatively. It is built through real stories, real experiences, and many conversations. I am now moving into the next phase of interviews, and I am looking to connect with people who would be open to sharing their experiences regarding the job market and workplace realities. In particular, I would love to speak with: • Expats and immigrants • Women navigating workplace inequalities • Women going through IVF or infertility journeys • Women who experienced miscarriage • Women navigating menopause in the workplace • Women suffering from endometriosis or chronic invisible conditions • Neurodivergent professionals • Members of the LGBTQIA+ community • People with physical disabilities or chronic illnesses • Individuals who struggled to obtain workplace accommodations • Professionals from underrepresented socio-economic or cultural backgrounds • People who experienced discrimination, exclusion, or barriers in recruitment or at work • People transitioning careers later in life • Older professionals facing age bias At the same time, I would also love to speak with: • CEOs • Founders • CHROs • HR leaders and managers • DEI professionals • Company leaders who are genuinely trying to build more inclusive workplaces Do you have positive practices to share? Have you implemented something differently? How do you create belonging inside your teams? How do you ensure people feel seen, respected, and included? I am particularly interested in concrete actions: not only policies on paper, but things that truly make a difference in people’s lives. My availability is reduced at the moment, but I can usually arrange discussions: • on weekdays after 17:00 • occasionally during lunchtime • and during weekends if needed If you would be open to a conversation, or if you know someone whose voice deserves to be heard, I would truly appreciate the connection. Thank you again to everyone who has already contributed to this journey. #PeopleAndCulture #WorkplaceInclusion #LeadershipAndHR

Dot Rotten Fans & Collaborators - This Is The Beginning Era

Dot Rotten Audio Documentary I'm working on an audio documentary podcast series about Dot Rotten. Episode one is locked and covers his early life, N.E / Essentials, early production and road to Bazooka (among other things). I'm now researching the 'This is the Beginning' era. So early Young Dot vocals, early radio sets, Manic FM, On Top FM, Raw, Fuck Radio etc among others he went on, it being on Myspace, RWD Forum, Limewire, DC++ with a focus on just before This is the Beginning, the project itself, then afterwards, up to R.I.P Young Dot. I am already making private enquiries obviously and have interviews locked in already, but I'm looking to speak to anyone who was either around Dot at that time, featured on the TITB project or simply played it, shared it, downloaded it, or remembers the impact it had. Even if you're a fan, I'd love to get your perspective. Also if anyone has any key memories of this time period, links, sets, old files, interesting stories, or just wants to send over some ideas, I'd love to hear from you Please email [email redacted] or PM me here. I'm happy to travel for the right conversations and get people a beer or a coffee etc for providing their time. Cheers, Tom / Hij

Semiconductor Procurement, Policy & M&A - MATCH Act Silence Over ASML

The Semiconductor Industry Association has not issued a public statement opposing the MATCH Act. That silence is the data point. New episode of The Control Layer podcast — Part 3 of the Four Chokepoints series. The bill that gives the Netherlands 150 days to match American export controls on ASML, or lose access to the American IP inside every lithography machine the company has ever built. The MATCH Act — H.R. 8170 — was introduced on 2 April with a Senate companion co-sponsored by Majority Leader Schumer and the Chair of Foreign Relations. Bipartisan. Bicameral. Committee leadership on both sides. The House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced it by a substantial bipartisan margin on 22 April. What did the American semiconductor industry do? Nothing. The SIA, SEMI, Lam Research, Applied Materials — not a single public statement opposing the bill. No letter to Congress. No testimony. The silence is strategic self-interest. American equipment manufacturers are already barred from selling to China under existing BIS restrictions. They have absorbed the damage. What they have watched is their European competitors continuing to sell into the market they were forced to leave. The MATCH Act is a competitive equaliser, not an export control. ASML is alone in this fight. Why does Washington hold the key? One acquisition. Cymer, San Diego — the light source inside every EUV machine. American IP. Under the Foreign Direct Product Rule, that single component gives the United States jurisdiction over machines manufactured entirely outside its territory. The functional equivalent of a kill switch. The security argument is real. Dual-use risk is not paranoia. But the MATCH Act does not restrict an adversary. It restricts an ally. An ally's freedom to sell technology the ally developed, in markets the ally chose, using capital the ally raised. The prediction: by April 2027, Brussels publishes Chips Act 2.0 with a sovereign equipment supply chain pillar. Falsifiable. Signals to watch in the companion article. Full episode and 23-endnote written analysis linked in comments. I want to hear from people in semiconductor procurement, industrial policy, and technology M&A: where is the analysis wrong? #TechnologySovereignty #ASML #MATCHAct #SemiconductorExportControls #EuropeanSovereignty #TheControlLayer

Colorado Aerospace Researchers - Space Force vs NASA Science Cuts

I am looking to speak with someone in Colorado's aerospace industry or aerospace/planetary sciences research sector about whether Space Force funding would make up for the loss of NASA science funding if the White House proposed budget is adopted or if the House proposed cuts (17%) to NASA science go through . . . This is for a story that will appear in Colorado Newsline. It's a short turn around: tomorrow is when I'd need to have the conversation. Thanks!!

Black STEAM Innovators - Representation, Near-Death Experiences & UAPs

The statistics tell us that only about 6% of authors in the publishing industry are Black. This represents a ceiling that has limited our narratives for too long. As a scientist and researcher, I know that these numbers don’t reflect the true depth of our contributions. We are living in a time spoken of long ago in the bible, a new age of enlightenment where nothing will remain hidden. I want to give you a voice; I want your value recognized because your stories deserve to be heard. Your stories matter, and I see your worth. We cannot wait for permission to be heard. We must claim our intellectual sovereignty now. Every story we tell is a deliberate act of resistance and a force multiplier for the next generation. I am looking to amplify the voices of the innovators and movers who are pushing the boundaries of the human experience. Your voice has the power to create lasting change, and your contribution is essential. This includes those who have navigated the thin line between life and death. Having had a near-death experience myself, I know that our perspective on existence changes when we see the “other side.” I also want to talk with Black folks who have had experiences with UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). These truths are real, and in this age of enlightenment, they deserve the same rigor and platform as any scientific discovery. Your experiences are valid and vital to our collective understanding, and sharing them can help others feel seen and heard. Gatekeeping is real, but your truth is greater. Whether you are a researcher in biotechnology or a witness to the unexplained, your voice is an inspirational necessity for the betterment of our communities. I want to talk with the inventors, the researchers, and the marginalized thinkers in the STEAM fields who are ready to be heard. Will you join me on the STEAM Sparks podcast? Your story can inspire others and help build a stronger community. Whether you are a researcher, innovator, or have a unique experience, I want to hear from you. Send me a DM with your journey or insights, and let’s amplify your voice. #STEAMSparks #DigitalSovereignty #ForceMultiplier #BIPOCinSTEM #AgeOfEnlightenment #NDE #UAPPerspective #RepresentationMatters

YouTube Creators - Inauthentic & Repetitive Content Demonetization 2026

Gathering info on the May 2026 "Inauthentic Content" demonetization wave I’m looking to talk to anyone who has been affected by the recent wave of "Inauthentic Content" or "Repetitive Content" flags this month. I’m trying to see if there are specific patterns in how these are being handed out and how the appeal process is actually working. If your channel was demonetized for these reasons in 2026, could you share some details? What is your niche? (Gaming, commentary, research, etc.) When did it happen? What was the exact wording in the notice? The Appeal: Did you try the video appeal? How long did it take to get a response, and did it feel like a real person reviewed it? I’m just looking for the facts to help document how widespread this is. You are welcome to link your channel or message me if you'd rather talk privately. -- Im slow to respond but TIA

Commander Players - Underrated Commanders Outside Top 100

Compiling Underrated commanders for an article, looking for suggestions! Hey folks! This is Tim with Draftsim, I'm normally posting under a work account in this sub but I'm doing some 'research' so coming at you live. Not too long ago I was asked to compile a list of overrated and underrated commanders for different articles. I approached the overrated list by fielding suggestions from people and reading through threads on the topic, took the most commonly mentioned commanders, and evaluated whether I thought they actually were overrated. However, underrated has turned out to be a bit more difficult. It's a lot easier to find conversations about commanders people think are played too often than ones that aren't played enough. So, that leads me to my question: What are some underrated commanders you'd suggest people play more often, or at least consider. I've got a few criteria I'd use to determine whether something's truly underrated: It can't appear on EDHREC's Top 100. It is possible for a card to be that high up and still be underrated, but those are known factors for the most part, and I'd rather highlight some more niche or lesser-played legends. It might be the "second best" option for a deck. You could never call Urza, Lord High Artificer underrated, but maybe "the next best mono-blue artifact commander" should get more attention than it deserves. It supports an archetype that's easy to overlook, or that no other commander really covers. I'm thinking something like \[\[Hylda of the Icy Crown\]\] as the leader of a tap-down strategy. It's still a good card that produces decent decks. I'm not interested in gimmicks that only work in Bracket 1. Ideally, these would be commanders that you'd suggest someone make if they wanted something slightly off-meta, but still capable of winning games. \[\[Gallia of the Endless Dance\]\] comes to mind as something that doesn't fit this intent. Not really interested in consider cEDH/Bracket 5 here. Let me know if you all have any suggestions, and why you think a commander you're suggesting might be underrated. Look forward to hearing from y'all, and I'll follow up with the article in due time! Thanks\~

New Immigrants in Atlantic Canada - Employer-Level Hiring Barriers

SOURCE REQUEST: I'm working on a magazine feature about what prevents new immigrants to Atlantic Canada from reaching their full economic potential in the labour market. I'm particularly interested in sources who can talk about the barriers that individual hiring managers and companies can tackle by shifting their perspectives. (As opposed to the larger structural issues faced with regulated professions which can't be tackled with the same immediacy.) Sources may include new immigrants who have faced challenges finding a job that aligns with their experience and qualifications, or immigration professionals or researchers with keen insights on this topic. Feel free to message me directly here to connect. Thanks in advance!
