In this webinar, our presenter Myriam Nickel will explore the world of non-traditional work and the career benefits that are offered through flexible part-time, casual, on-call, seasonal or independent work. Often, we overlook the value that non-traditional work can offer at different stages of our careers. It can be an additional source of income, experience and industry connection. It is an effective strategy to get your foot in the door and start your career. It can also be an excellent way to build valuable experience, your network and build references in your industry.
If you need flexibility in your schedule, non-traditional opportunities can possibly offer you the flexibility and freedom you need. It can also give you the opportunity to share your knowledge and experience as a project-based contractor or consultant. This webinar will focus on the benefits of non-traditional opportunities and the value it can add to your career.
