Talk Details
People say the best time to start looking at your next career move is before you need to. But what does that look like in practice? If you are content in your role, how do you determine what the next move could or should look like? If you’ve recently been made redundant or are in a role that isn’t working for you then what?
In this session we will look at how to intentionally plan for your next career step – whatever that looks like. We will explore important elements to consider such what your ‘must haves’ are, development goals and organisational culture. We will provide hints and tips on getting yourself ‘job hunt’ ready so you can come away with a clear plan for when you are ready to start your search.”
