My former career coach was fond of saying, "Every job is temporary," and "You are a business of one." She meant that given the fast-paced changes in the economy, becoming too dependent upon a job with benefits is not a good idea because that job and those benefits can disappear pretty quickly when things change. In this week's episode, I stress the importance of upgrading your technology skills while considering whether you want to change your job or career. You can go to different places for help, like your local WorkForce centers or online services like Udemy.

You should also think seriously about what you want in your next job or career. What kind of people do you want to work with? What kind of culture do you want? Chances are you are trying to escape your current workplace's toxic culture, so paying attention to these things is important.

If you think that 2021 is the year you want to make a career change or undertake a new job search, don't miss out on one of the Masterclass presentations I am offering this week. The first one will be Thursday night, January 21, 2021, at 7:00 PM EST. The second will be offered on Saturday, January 23, 2021, at 1:00 PM EST, and the final presentation will be Monday, January 25, 2021, at 4:00 PM EST.
