There’s a lot of uncertainty in the professional world right now. While many companies are still growing, hiring, and promoting, our focus has shifted away from career growth and towards temporary solutions. That being said, there’s never been a better time to reflect on what we need, where we want to be, and how to get there.
During our virtual event with Flexport’s Head of Learning & Development and two employees who pivoted careers we discussed inspiring your career search and gaining the tools to get where you’re going. We discussed career progression and changes during COVID-19, crafting the ideal job, and action items for moving forward.
