This online workshop is one of the first of our the new, exciting range of digital masterclasses that we are offering. In this live online workshop, you will have the opportunity to engage in real time with our brilliant course tutors, as well as other participants - with additional pre and post-course support from our learning team. To celebrate, we are offering an exclusive early bird discount of up to 40% on our first workshops – we hope you enjoy them!

In a crisis, the things that occupy our time lead us to assess what’s important to us, and among family, friends and fresh air, a healthy working life is essential for financial and emotional wellbeing.

During this interactive digital masterclass, career change consultant Joseph Liu will walk you through the three important stages of managing your career and job search during these challenging times, so that you can still achieve your career goals during the pandemic and beyond.

You will hear guidance on how to stand out, the pitfalls to avoid from hiring managers, and which recruiters are hiring at present. You will learn how to reevaluate critical aspects of your current career situation, adjust your personal brand and mindset in a way that serves your ambitions, and create a concrete action plan to maximise your chances of accomplishment.

Most importantly, you will find the confidence and clarity to achieve your career goals, during the pandemic and beyond.

You will be sent a link to the webinar 1hr before the start time of 6.30pm (BST).
