Updating Your CV and Preparing for New Opportunities

20 Mar, 2026

A CV is often treated as a simple administrative document, something to revisit only when applying for a new role, but in reality it’s a living record of your growth, experience, and professional direction. Keeping it up to date isn’t just a practical task to tick off a list; it’s an opportunity to reflect and recognise how your skills, responsibilities, and achievements have evolved over time. Although updating a CV can feel daunting or even...

Handling Increased Responsibility at Work

18 Mar, 2026

At some point in most careers, responsibility can increase through a promotion, a new project, or a gradual expansion of expectations over time. Although this progression can feel encouraging and affirming, it can also be overwhelming as new responsibilities bring unfamiliar pressures and a lingering sense of uncertainty about stepping into a bigger role. For Christians in particular, these moments are not only about demonstrating competence...

How to Grow with Purpose in the Workplace

13 Mar, 2026

Learning does not stop once a person enters the workplace as, in many ways, professional life is where growth becomes most practical and visible. Skills develop through experience and challenges over time. Skill development is not only about career progression, but about stewarding the abilities and opportunities entrusted to us. Workplaces are constantly evolving as new technologies emerge, industries develop, and...

Reflections for International Women’s Day

11 Mar, 2026

Earlier this week, we celebrated International Women's Day. This important day provides an opportunity to recognise the contribution of women across every area of society and in the workplace. It is a moment to reflect on progress, acknowledge ongoing challenges, and celebrate the many ways women bring leadership, wisdom, and resilience to professional life.

Rest and Renewal When Taking Annual Leave

06 Mar, 2026

Annual leave is often treated as a luxury rather than a necessity. In busy workplaces, stepping away can feel inconvenient, maybe even indulgent. Emails continue, deadlines and projects remain, and responsibilities wait. Despite this, taking annual leave is absolutely essential for rest, perspective, and long term wellbeing. For many Christians, work is understood as a calling and a responsibility, where commitment and diligence matter....

Volunteering and the Workplace: How They Can Work Together

04 Mar, 2026

Volunteering is often viewed as something separate from professional life. It happens at weekends, in evenings, or during annual leave. Yet volunteering can have a meaningful impact on the workplace itself. For Christians, it offers a practical way to live out faith while also developing skills and strengthening professional relationships. Work is not only about productivity. It is also about character, collaboration, and contribution....

Observing Lent and the Workplace: Living Your Faith During the Working Day

27 Feb, 2026

Lent is often associated with church services, quiet reflection, and personal sacrifice. Yet for many Christians, much of this season unfolds not in church buildings, but in their day-to-day environment - such as offices, shops, classrooms, and homes. Observing Lent in the workplace invites us to consider how faith shapes not only our private devotion, but our professional lives as well. Lent is a time of reflection, preparation, and...

Utilising Your Faith as Strength in Interviews

25 Feb, 2026

Job interviews can be both exciting and intimidating. They represent opportunity, but also scrutiny. Preparation often focuses on qualifications, experience, personal presentation and personal suitability. Yet for many Christians, there is another source of strength available during this process. Using your faith as strength in interviews does not mean preaching or forcing conversations about belief mid-interview. It means drawing on the...

Using Your Christian Faith to Leave a Positive Impression at Work

20 Feb, 2026

Starting a new job can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory. New faces. New expectations. New pressure to prove yourself. As Christians, it’s natural to wonder: how do I live out my faith here without being overbearing, awkward, or silent about what matters most? The good news is this: your Christian faith is not a barrier to professional success. Properly lived, it’s one of your greatest strengths. 1. Let your work ethic...

Handling Redundancy as a Christian

18 Feb, 2026

Redundancy can feel deeply unsettling. Work is more than income. It shapes routine, identity, confidence, and daily structure. When a role ends unexpectedly, it can leave a sense of loss that goes beyond employment. For many believers, redundancy and faith often become closely intertwined as they seek answers to the raising questions around purpose, provision, and direction. Job loss, and a loss of purpose or direction are not an unfamiliar...

Finding a Work-Life Balance for Christians: Part 1

11 Feb, 2026

Part 1: Laying a Strong Foundation For many Christian families, work life and family life can feel like competing priorities. Long hours, rising costs, and constant connectivity make it difficult to switch off from work. Equally, family responsibilities are always on, and can easily become all consuming. Finding a sustainable balance between work and home life can therefore feel deeply challenging. Balancing work and home life is not...
