Behind the Recruitment Curtain: The Future of Work

The Future of Work is rapidly changing. We have gone through the Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, and are living in the employee revolution. Join Megan Jo Specht, Peter Hancock and Chelle Johnson to gain clarity on the latest trends in the workforce. This will be a lively discussion where no topic is off limits.

We will be answering questions such as:

• There’s so much change going on, how do I make myself stand out from the other applicants?
• How do I be my authentic self if I have a visible or invisible disability?
• What industries are hiring right now? And, which has the best long-term stability?
• What is quiet hiring and how does it affect me?
• I am so burned out and stressed from the job search, or in my role right now, how do I best manage my stress?

We will be answering your questions as well. You don’t want to miss this panel discussion.
