"the job market in Greater Boston is seething with activity"

 

"After a dozen long years at Google, David Smydra had been thinking about moving on. But when the pandemic hit, all he could do was “shelter in place ... hold on, do my best to weather the storm.” 

But working from home in West Roxbury only increased the feeling of burnout that had been building before COVID-19. So as the virus loosened its grip on the region, his urge for a reset returned, even stronger. 

“The effects of the pandemic gave me clarity to see my situation without the blinders of the daily hustle,” he said. 

In April, the 42-year-old Smydra left his job at Google overseeing news content strategy and joined another big tech company — Twitter — to work on news curation."

FANN Meeting Agenda - June 28, 2021

Don't forget Free job search and career assistance from local libraries

In case you didn't know, many libraries offer job-search and career assistance services. Several Massachusetts networking groups are actually run by libraries.

I work for the Framingham Public library on Thursdays from 9am to 1:30pm.  I offer three appointments each week:  9am, 10:30am, and Noon, via Zoom..

As the services are provided by the libraries, there is no additional cost to you (because tax dollars pay for the service).

If you need job-search help, career planning assistance, interview prep, or coaching, visit https://framinghamlibrary.org/services/job-help/

to learn how to make an appointment with me. Please note this service is offered by the City of Framingham and the Framingham Public Library to all on a first-come, first-service basis.

BTW, While I currently provide the service via Zoom, the Framingham Library is opening up in stages.  I'll probably be onsite at the library starting in September.

Have a great weekend!

50+ Program Special Event - Thursday June 10, 2021 - 10 AM

ReInvention in Possible after 50!

Join us at this Special Panel Event

Thursday, June 10^th: 10-1130am

Do you ever Dream about a Future that is different from your Present?

Do you ever think about doing what you've always wanted to do?

Let's face it - the idea of reinventing yourself after the age of 50 is a frightening prospect. No doubt- it means taking a risk, after a lifetime of experience.

But- staying in a job you don't like is a risk. Retiring and doing nothing is a risk. There are always risks to take, but reinventing yourself and taking on new challenges – achieving a lifetime dream or desire – is a "good" risk to take.

Join our Panelists who have all at some point in their life made the choice to take the chance to make the change and to reinvent themselves. They will be sharing some of the strategic, tactical and practical steps you can take to reinvent yourself.

·        Elaine Crosby, CEO/CO-Founder-Puddingstone Place

·        Lisa Dooley, Owner-Your Organized Life; Author      

·       Mike Savage, Business Coach; Savage Secrets; SCORE

·       Danielle Duplin, Co-Founder-AGENCY@cic and Founders over 55
