It’s a tough world out there for many.
We are almost certainly in a white-collar recession, and things are particularly tough for people just entering the workforce.
argues that now is not the time to panic, but it is the time to get strategic. He’s written a great new book on the topic, called The Career Remix: Build a Future That Fits You. Pivot. Grow.I sat down with Michele for the Humanity Working podcast to discuss the approach, and I loved how much it aligned with something I call Adaptive Career Planning. But what’s really great for the moment we are in right now is the set of practical tools Michele includes.
I took so much from the discussion, but here are three key points….
Finding your next thing is about so much more than looking on job boards and reverse engineering your resume to fit them. In fact, that is often counterproductive.
Getting strategic about what’s next for you is a critical first step in helping you actually land the right job, and thrive when you get there.
Jobs that look very similar on the surface are often massively different in practice, and this is something you can often identify upfront.
I hope you enjoy the podcast, and of course, Michele’s book.
