Presentation:
We remember 9/11 like it was last week. We felt like our whole world was crumbling. We were glued to the TV set for updates and we expected life to never go back to normal. Things ultimately got better, but each of us was forever changed by the tragedy. Now here we are again. Things have changed in a big way nearly overnight. You can't be alive and not be at least a bit unsettled about your career. However...there are things you can do to stay in control of your career and maybe even thrive during these challenging times. We'll talk these topics and more on our call.
1) Which industries are thriving and potentially hiring?
2) Do I really have to become a video interview expert?
3) What work at home jobs might be good options for me?
4) How can I reinvent myself?
