Careers Week: Work that works for you

Our sister site workingmums.co.uk is launching a week of webinars and support for parents looking for work that is flexible enough to fit around family life.  Careers Week runs from 16th to 20th September 2024 and builds on last year’s Return to Work Week. It  will allow parents to connect with flexible employers who are looking to recruit, get essential job-seeking advice from experts, find information and inspiration for working for themselves and get ideas about transitioning to a new career.

Every day during Careers week has a different theme.

You can secure a place at our live zoom event at 10am where, along with CV expert Emma Alkirwi from The CV Guru, we will explore the essential steps to landing your next job interview and how to navigate AI in recruitment.
