Prepare to Flourish

By: Estelle Curry
  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Prepare to Flourish series. This series is designed to help you find, not just a job, but the right job for you. This series was born out of a commitment to help people who had lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, help them to return to the workplace. Whilst that commitment remains, we realize that everyone is in different situations, and have been impacted by the pandemic in varying degrees. Our goal is to provide tools, resources, and subject matter experts so you will gain insight for your job search, regardless of your current situation.
