We welcome back PowerToFly mentor Marisa Sires to continue the conversation around navigating career transitions, now in a one-hour Chat & Learn format. Based on the resounding feedback from the group at Marisa's Office Hours on June 10, Navigating Career Transitions, we will continue our focus on (1) how to navigate switches between industries and (2) how to re-enter the workforce after a period away. Related to both of these, we will also talk about how to identify your personal strengths and incorporate them into a targeted resume and LinkedIn profile.
Some of the topics we will focus on are as follows:
- Shifting industries
- Career re-entry
- Starting a new role/setting yourself up for success
- When to make a move
- How to look for roles (where to search)
