Another insightful tip for job seekers from the Career Thought Leaders Consortium Symposium: Employees may not be able to future-proof their jobs, but they can future-proof their careers. Antoinette Oglethorpe, renowned leadership coach and author, emphasized the importance of continuous learning and networking to stay prepared for changes in the job market and in your organization. Feeling stuck in your current organization? Take ownership of your career management. Consider what your organization needs and how you can fit in. Reflect on what you enjoy doing and what skills you can develop further. Seek opportunities to learn and grow, and make professional connections. These steps will help you to see the branches outward, to bigger and better roles aligned with your interests and skills. Remember, there are fewer and fewer ladders to climb in organizations, so it's crucial to be proactive in your career development.

Wonderfu! I'm working with a client right now who went back to get her bachelor's degree in 2019. As a job seeker in her 60s, I'm willing to bet that this will make a huge difference in her job search.
