Career Planning in 2023 with JBM
Job hunting and career planning in 2023 is no easy task, but luckily, we're not alone. Over the past few weeks, many of our community members have posted open roles and candidate CVs to our job board - making it our most active channel currently.
It's been incredible to witness all the connections being made as you reached out to help each other, and in typical ops fashion, we couldn't just sit by idly, either. Thus, we reached out to our friends at JBM and asked them to share their time and advice with our community members.
On this lovely Tuesday, we'll be sitting down with Team JBM to find answers to your most burning questions about the job hunting process.
💡 We'll be covering topics such as:
How do I stay sane while waiting for responses/facing rejections?
How should I get started if I want a career change (e.g. entering a new industry I'm super passionate about)?
How do I create an application that actually grabs the company's attention?
How do I make sure that I'm a right fit for the role I'm applying for?
And anything else on your minds 👀
As we know that not everyone is looking for their next role openly, all questions asked through this sign-up form will be anonymised for the session. 🙈
Looking forward to seeing you there!
