4 myths about making a career change
2025-06-27 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
Why does it seem like so many people have made career changes?
How did they do it? 🤔
This was the question I was asking myself when making my career change.
By all measures my career pivot ended up being a raging success. I pivoted from teaching high school to working at Microsoft in four months.
But it almost didn’t happen.
Let’s back up to the summer of 2014.
I knew I wanted a role in tech, so I did what most people do – I started on LinkedIn.
But LinkedIn’s algorithm told me I wasn’t qualified for anything except what I had already been doing.
LinkedIn was wrong.😯
Not only did I land a role at Microsoft, but a year after that, I was in my dream job at a startup that went public.
In four years I was able to 2.3x my income and become a hiring manager, building and leading a team of 8.
But I knew that I wasn’t special. I saw how much the career landscape was changing and how hiring teams NEEDED career changers.

7 Must-Have Skills Remote Workers Need
2025-06-30 14:00 - 14:30 | Virtual
According to a recent FlexJobs survey, a whopping 65% of respondents say they want to work from home full-time, and 31% would like a hybrid work schedule.
The good news is that opportunities for remote job seekers continue to grow in many industries, including virtual administration, healthcare, education, customer support, marketing, and more.
However, despite the growing preference for remote work, some would-be remote workers aren’t prepared for the handful of challenges that working from a home office can bring. Along with having the specific skills and experience to do the job duties, workers also need to have a variety of other skills to be successful remote employees.
Luckily, many of these soft skills and talents can be learned or honed!
This webinar provides an overview of the top 7 skills needed to be a great remote worker—some you may already have, and others that can be learned or honed.
