Making a Move: How to Navigate Career Transitions

Career transition topics to be covered include:
  • Moving In: Landing first jobs in today’s challenging market; starting your professional network; managing new financial responsibilities and professional friendships
  • Moving Up:  Learning the skills required to succeed in a new, possibly career-transforming role; identifying the right opportunities while keeping work-life balance 
  • Moving Around:  Managing involuntary or unintended lateral moves and demotions
