Hello HR Pro,

Festive season isn’t just about lights, sweets, and holiday cheer. It’s prime time to network smarter.

October to December is when companies plan Q1 budgets, employees move, and recruiters quietly scout top talent. If you’re job hunting, the right moves now can put you top of mind before roles even hit the boards.

Here’s how to turn festive networking into strategic career wins:

The free newsletter making HR less lonely

The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.

That’s what this newsletter delivers.

I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.

Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.

Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.
