Career Pivots: Do's and Don'ts

The Professional Service Group of Central New Jersey welcomes career coach Ed Samuel on Monday, March 27 at 10:30 am as he discusses “Career Pivots: Do's and Don'ts.” Ed will detail the 17 Dos and Don’ts for those wanting to make a career pivot to optimize your career. Career pivots can take hundreds of forms, but its’ overall aim is to bring you to a better place. Examples of career pivots are leaving an industry that you have known all your life to work in a new industry or shifting your career to a new line of work such as operations to marketing or finance to sales or nursing to customer service. Leaving corporate America to blaze your own trail is yet another pivot. These pivots are all about leveraging your skills, experience, and your heart to create an even more fulfilling career and life.

Ed Samuel is a career, life and executive coach, public speaker, author, certified career assessment and DiSC Team Leader and has a non-profit stewardship ministry and founder of SamNova, Inc.
