The emergence of the 'gig economy', quickly-evolving technology, and globalization has begun to significantly disrupt and reshape how people choose, create, and maintain work and income creating a need to deal with change and transition. Based on recent data about future trends, this session helps employment professionals to understand these emerging realities, challenge outdated and ineffective mindsets, cultivate new more useful perspectives, and increase their knowledge and confidence in helping job seekers, career changers, workers (and themselves!) prepare for and thrive in today's environment. - ###### [5 Steps: Helping Anyone Begin A Career Now](https://www.worknetsolutions.com/keynote-speaker#tab-2) ### **5 Steps: Helping Anyone Begin A Career Now** Whether you serve people who are unemployed, under-employed, or unhappily employed, this session is for you.

Through stories and examples, you'll get practical tips for discovering client motivation, clarifying career direction and next steps, unearthing proof of qualifications (even if they have never been paid to do the job), removing the reasons they get screened-out, and preparing a modern job search strategy.
