Episode 1: How to Prepare for The Great Rehire

Experts have been predicting that we’re going to experience what’s been called “The Great Rehire.” It’s going to be huge and now is the time to start preparing.

In this first episode, you’ll learn:

  • How the pandemic has personally affected my career, especially as a new mom

  • The importance of self-reflection before diving into a job search

  • Tips for job searching in our new global job market

  • The benefits of a portfolio career and a free agent mentality

  • Why now is the time to build a personal brand at work

Here are the 4 reflection questions I mention in the episode, for easy reference:

  1. How has COVID impacted my industry and my role?

  2. Have my job non-negotiables changed as a result of COVID? What would you like to stop, start and continue doing in your current or next role?

  3. Are there any new job opportunities that have emerged as a result of COVID? If so, which ones am I interested in and could potentially pivot into?

  4. What skills are needed to succeed in a post-COVID world? What does my skills gap look like and how could I fill it?
