The Great Job Upheaval 2021: How Have Women’s Career Paths Changed?

Maybe you’ve heard the medical myth that taste buds change every seven years (they don’t!) but it IS true women’s career paths have changed drastically. 
Are you re-entering the workforce after COVID-related childcare issues forced you into unemployment? Are you a new graduate just starting those Zoom interviews or perhaps you’ve finally decided to pull the plug on your current job and leap into entrepreneurship?  Our presentation from Dottie Austin, principal at Career Partners International Buffalo Niagara, will help you with ideas and tactics to make these transitions smoother.

And, since it IS true you should get a new headshot every three to five years, Tara Bazilian-Chang, owner of TBC Photo, will “help you put your best face forward” with tips on how to acheive the best look in your new professional photos.
